Trot lines and jug lines are properly the most popular to the sportsman then ant other cat fishing method there is. The trot line has from 25 to 50 hooks on it and to use it you tie it off on the bank to a tree or something. Run it at least 20 ft from the bank and then run it out 150 to 200 ft and put a heavy weight on it and drop it over board. ( I like to use a sand sand bag for my weight) then go back and put your hooks and bait on it. You can run the next morning or every three to four hrs if you are staying there.
Jug lines are used anchored or free floating. If used anchored most use five hooks spaced out and anchored to the bottom, when a fish gets on it tries to pull the jug under big fish can but they to the most can not hold it down. Small fish just bob it in the water. Like anchored they also use up to five hooks.
I myself prefer the floating jugs all the fun comes in when you are chasing a big fish down on a jug. I will get into make jug lines and trot lines later. Until next posting take a kid fishing.
