Utilizing Jug Lines to Catch Catfish

Monday, October 5th, 2009

If you are interested in learning how to catch an insane number of catfish, why don’t you consider using jug lines? Catfish jug fishing is a great method of generating massive results on the water, and tocatch an enormous amount of catfish. When we go out, many times we will set over 20 jug lines to pull in the fish. There in lies one of the secrets why using jugs outperforms typical rod and reel fishing, the large increase in hooks and bait in the water.

If you are looking to catch blue catfish, making use of four to six inch live or dead shad on a heavy twine or leader line with a circle hook will yield the maximum results. If you really want results, use live perch. Many times we will partially fillet one side of a perch, just to put some blood and scent into the water, to bring in the big fish. When you are going after yellow catfish, then perch is probably the best bait to get them on.

We’ll take the jugs, and set them out in an area of the water that has many stumps or other good cover for fish, and secure the jugs to the stumps. We always catch fish using this method. Often we will catch anywhere from 20-50 pounds of catfish every day we run the lines, and we will typically re-bait the lines twice a day. This method is superior to most other recreational methods of catfishing.
