    i jug rough. if i were you i would only do limb lines right now because of the lake being flooded. those catfish aren't stupid and right as soon as they get hooked they're gonna run right for the trees but we make our jug line depth according to the place we put them. but on average we fish 5-10 ft deep. if you're going for flat heads fish in places with big rocks around. and it never hurts to put some down steep channel banks.

    Thanks
    I kinda thought they would run to the tree's. Thanks for the info , I know were some of the places like that are. My son and I were going to go for the day I don't think he is ready for an all nighter and I would not want to leave my jugs unatended I'm sure some one would make them there's even though there taged.

    we do ours at night because if you leave them out during the day bass and turtles get the bait before the cats do. we avoid fishing during the day because when bass hit the bluegill they usually get deep hooked and they die. but we have actually caught a guy trying to steal a fish off of our limblines. and we have found our jugs out in the middle of the lake with the hook wound up from someone taking our fish. some ppl just don't have any respect for others.

    if I caught a guy checking my lines, I don't care if I had to get wet or not but I'd try my best to pull his drain plug. That would teach him

    I had a guy take one of my jugs last year but he got his. He had out a bunch of limb lines and I cut every one of them i could find before I left If memory serves me right it was over a 100 lines I just let them sink.
    I'm going to wait until after this week end maybe next let all the
    yoo hooers get there feel and go away. I went to rough today with the boy's and the stripes were not jumping at all but we did catch some blue gills in the 6 to 8" range ran out of red worms and left. The water still looks nasty like the lake is turning over..

    just think about all of the catfish you killed doing that? how many probaly ate the hook and bait and died? you should have taken the hooks off.

    if he fired that big engine up, while you were trying to teach him. you would know, a limbline and a big fish, ain't worth all that.
