Many years ago and in Ohio I use to jug fish for cats. I would carry a rod and reel to cast to the faster jugs. I fished the jugs about 2 feet deep and the lake was about 4 to 5 foot deep. we used live creek chubs, the bigger the better. Many times the cats would run from the boat and we would cast to the jugs and snag the line under them. We had cats pull down one gallon bleach bottles and hold them down. We would get excited but we never got one of those into the boat. Seemed they would always get off. We were only allowed to use electric motors or oars on this lake. that was many many years ago !!!
