Trotlines are my favorite.

i voted limb lines because thats the easiest thing to do that we are allowed here, jugs are not legal here but I have done some jugging in another state and it was a blast. I have mainly only run limblines on rivers as that is whats close to home. Been thinking about doing it again this year,but who knows what will happen. noodling I did as a young teenager till the guy that taught me got ahold of a beaver that cut him up so bad he didn't make it back to the truck,died right there along the river,no more grabbin for me.

It is true. It was printed in the Conservationist. What bothers me about it, and what I agree with the author that I quoted about, is that it is an uneforcable regulation. Yeah, it's convenient. Too convenient. What's the point? Why not just make it to where they can be unsupervised for 24 hours just like trots? There is just no way to keep track of it, so it's a junk law.

I'm a huge supporter of "alternative" methods. I just don't think this was well thought out. Especially since it hasn't been too long ago when you didn't have to stay with your jugs.

I'd like to CLARIFY the new regulations regarding jugging in Missouri.

ANCHORED Jugs: (Tied off, or rendered immobile by a really heavy weight) must be attended once every 24 hours.

UN-ANCHORED Jugs: Must be attended at least once per hour in an impoundment, but must be attended at ALL TIMES in a RIVER or STREAM.

You are correct. Could you imagine ignoring your jugs for an hour on the river, lol? They'd be 5 miles away. I've been thinking about setting some anchored jugs. I got so sick of chasing jugs around, and not catching enough to make it worth the effort, and I just gave up on it. BUT...I think that a bunch of strategically placed anchored jugs might even be more effective than a couple of trotlines.

I can't remember who posted it, but I saw on here one time about taking plastic soda bottles and fill them with quickcrete, and put a wire loop in the top. When the quickcrete sets up, take a heat gun and do a shrink wrap job on the plastic bottle. Of course, I thought this was a great idea, and made a bunch of 'em up. A bag of quickcrete is like $3, and I have a whole spool of galvanized wire, and a surplus of Mt. Dew bottles. Anyways...I love these weights. They don't scratch everything up, or rust. I usually tie a trotline between 2 snags, and put 2 or 3 of these weights on a string about a foot longer than the drops to my hooks. Works great. These weights would also be awesome for anchored jugs in a lake. Any old weights would work. I just like these ones alot, and thought I'd toss the idea out there again incase somebody else is interested.

BTW...I've gotten over being against the new reg. Yeah, it's pretty much unenforceable, and kinda a junk law in that respect, but I wouldn't be sitting there counting jugs constantly anymore either. It's stressful to me to not be able to locate a jug. Is a fish on it? Did the wind blow it into some brush? Is the carp cop watching me? Now it's not as urgent to locate all the jugs, lol.

It's real close for me between trotlining and noodling. When it comes to trotlining I love the rush you feel when you grab one end of the line to run and it pulls back. I've always had great luck on trotlines, but not so much on limblines. Jugs are fun for small eaters. I ended up voting for noodling though, since they legalized it here I've been going whenever I can, getting bit is a rush that never gets old.

I don't like to pick up Others jugs either ....I don't leave mine for someone else hooks are too expensive ...And I surely don't want ANYONE picking up my jugs...I target 10lb and under (eaters ) cpr the bigguns . And personally never caught a flathead on a jug.

Yep, we jug for eater channels and make sure every one of them is up before we leave. Sometimes finding that last one is a DRAG. Today it was all the way at the end of the lake with an 8 foot alligator attached.
