Thanks for the friendly welcome. I would like to hook up and go fishing with you sometime for sure. I have jugged the West fork once at night and it was late spring early summer. I had my jugs set in twenty feet of water but never had a fish on one. I put three hooks on each jug 1st hook about two ft. off the bottom and them about four feet apart on the next two hooks ascending. My brother and myself have jugged Lake of the Pines yearly at our family reunion on Memorial day and we have caught some really nice cats especially blues, my favorite. The first year we had the family reunion there we caught a fifty pounder on one jug, he drug the jug a quarter of a mile but we landed him. I think I may go out Saturday morning if it is not pouring rain, Sunday I have prior engagements with my church. I do not know why but the last few years at lake of the pines I had a lot of Catfish die on the jugs just after a few hours witout checking them, can not explain except that I used swivels at each tie off, maybe they rolled themselves to death, also the water was real warm those years, lack of oxygen, don't know.
Anyhow we will hook up some time. Keep an eye out for a SeaArk green johnboat with a silver Johnson fifty on it, I usually wear a straw hat to keep the sun off my head.............johnboat john
