That's how I always did it too. If I was going to leave lines overnight, I would set a trotline or limblines instead of jugs. Of course there are plenty of those abandoned on Old Hickory too!
There is some guy who puts out a hundred or more jugs at a time up in Barton's and leaves them overnight. When he's fishing, I will have to dodge sets of jugs all the way from the back of the creek to the mouth. He always manages to lose half a dozen or so. I keep saying that one of these days I'm going to stick around and see who picks up the jugs so I can say something, but I probably never will.
