Jug fishing

[KYCatfish]

Well, we tried my old haunt between Chowning and Van Buren and only caught 4 in about 4 hours. Second worst trip I've ever had....small too. However the one decent fish, a 4-5 lb blue had NINE shad in his belly..about 2 inches long each. Can't understand why he was still feeding.

In the past two weeks on two separate visits I"ve caught over 20 cats at T-ville using cut shad on jugs. Going tonight. Will give update later.

how do you guys keep up with them at night? That sounds like a royal pain in the butt. I had 23 noodles out using cut shad, as I always do, and still had rotten luck.

Good luck tonight...need pics

I use milk jugs, or similar type semi-opaque plastic, such as windshield washer fluid jugs, and put a 6" glow stick in it. It makes those jugs glow like a giant ball. I tried 2-liter bottles, but they did not glow as good as the other jugs. However, they are still easy enough to see if you stay in the same general area as the jug. If you use the noodles, stab a slit with a fillet knife and stick a glow stick in the cut. Makes it real easy to see when it stands up.

Caught 6 cats in three hours (not to good) all of them were in the 1-2 lb range. Had plenty of bites though.

I have reflective tape on my jugs and use a spotlight and a small LED flashlight to keep an eye on them.
