Be aware that you can pull up snappers, gar, and a huge variety of
fish, but if you are in catfish rich waters, using the bait catfish
like best, you are going to get yourself some catfish. Just
try to cause as little motion on the water as you can, because as soon
as you get your catch off the hook, you are going to want to rebait,
and put your jug back out on the water.
To make your jugging experience the best it can be, here are some tips:
Consider either purchasing specially designed jugs from bait houses or
sporting goods stores that have reflective surfaces to help you see
your jugs in the dark (most jugging takes place at night) or paint the
half of your jug that will be out of the water a bright color like
yellow or orange. This will help you to be able to see, not
only where your jugs are, but exactly when you get a bite.
If there is a strong current in the water where you are fishing, put
some sand or gravel into the jugs to help weigh them down and hold them
in place. Another benefit to putting the sand into the jug is
that when you get a bite, it will pull the sand into one corner of the
jug, and cause it to stand up in the water. That makes it very easy to
tell when you get a bite.
