I don't have a problem with the jugging but everyone does not have the experience to take care of 50 jugs. I know I don't. Then I guess I would just like for there to be tighter limits on the Blues because they are not reproducing in the lake. I am sure this was discussed but for some reason they lumped the channels and blues together for the limits. I have never understand the idea of putting any fish in without limits to take out except at paylakes where the customer is paying for the fish. All of us are paying for those blues to be stocked. Then again these guys making the regulations have proven they get it right from time to time.

Some of this conversation goes to the other end of problems at all our lakes which is courtesy. The bass fisherman has a problem with a guy taking a boat load of fish because he basically practices catch and release. He does not want to slow down to get through a maze of jugs to get to his fishing spot. The pleasure boaters sometimes don't even know they are in a no ski zone so we can't expect them to have enough boat experience to dodge our jugs. The jugger is setting out his jugs marked and legal and feels you should not run through them if you can help it. Many are old school bank pole, limb line, trot line and jugging veterans who have fed their families with this method during the worse of time (not me but just sayin).

So we can debate on it all we want but until the regulations change we all need to get along and enjoy our time on the water.
