Jug Lining
 

I was thinking about running some jug lines in the intracoastal area by the Mermantau River area. My question is has anyone ever tried running jug lines at this time of the yr and if so what was the bait of choice? Thanks in advance.

Shad and cut mullet always have been my bait of choice.

Have you ever done it at this time of the yr?

Jugs
 

They have slowed way down since that cool front last week. What ya after?

I've set some out weekend before teal season before and did good. I would have all my jugs soakin before the sun comes up good. If u got them in the intracoastal I would have a weight at the bottom to hold them in place due to all of the barge traffic. I used chicken hearts for bait but shad and cut mullet would probably work great too. I'd bring the rod and reels and fish in Streeters and pipeline too. Caught a good bit in those places too

Some good Ole catfish.

Thank you sir. Do you have your hook up shallow or down toward the bottom

This time of year can be real good especially before a front. I mostly fish north of the mermentau bridge in lake arthur and the big schools of shad.have been out for a few weeks now. When they are there the catfish are usally thick.

From the looks of it, it'll be behind the front

I got about 15 foot of line with a weight on the bottom. I have 2 different stagins, one about 3 foot off bottom and one about 3 foot from the jug. Regular old jugs with a hook at the end will work, but with all the traffic they get pushed against the bank pretty quick

That is what I fought the one time I set them in the intracoastal. The only ones I caught on was the ones that was long.

Try the sheltered waters right in front the pipeline canal entrance and bayou misere

Bayou Misere is that the Bayou south of the intracoastal?

Head south from mouth of pipeline and it opens up to a little lake. Go a little ways and there is a bayou to the right that goes to lake misere. Not sure its official name but I have always called it bayou misere

That's the one I was thinking of. Thank you sir.
