In the past almost all my jug fishing has been done with a pontoon boat, with another person helping with the boat or jugs.
However, now I'm using a smaller 14' aluminum boat by myself.
This past September, when I approach a jug to check it, I took the motor out of gear, stopped by the jug, and then pulled the jug into the boat. Which worked out fine...when I didn't go racing past the jug!:crazy:
However, I noticed a guy at the lake, who was also checking jugs by himself, idle his boat up to a jug and then circle the jug to the right checking the jug without bring the jug into the boat.
So I tried it a time or two, but I was fearful that the jug line would get caught in my motor's prop.
My question to you folks that check jug lines by yourself....do you stop by the jugs, or do you circle the jugs with the motor still running in gear? Or something else?
Any pointers you would like to share...I'd be most happy to recieve! :roll_eyes:
