I have no idea about jug fishing on the river but I do have a question. Every single day at Newburgh there is a guy throwing out no less than 100 jugs. He starts about 100' behind the gates and they float all over the freaking river. He then sits on the far bank while these jugs float all over including being run over by barges. After a while the guy just runs down about 5 miles around a bend and let's them come to him. He then comes back up and picks them up. Is this legal? It's getting real annoying having to dodge jugs that are coming up stream cause of fish on them. Not to mention only being able to drift 50' back of the red line until the jugs float out.
