Thanks for sharing this. I grew up part of my life in Columbus,Mississippi as child back in the 60's. Some of my earliest fishing memories are fishing the Tombigbee and Buttahatchee rivers as well as Grenada Lake. You brought back a lot of childhood memories for me, thank you. By the way, I still love my fishing at 63 years old and spend a lot of my time fishing for Smallmouth Bass and trout in east Tennessee.

Really liked tour video. I used to live in new hope. My family is still there and has a river house down there. Brings back memories ! Tight lines!

I love all your videos. This jugging video brought back some great memories of me & my dad when he was still with us. We loved limbing, trotting, & jugging here in Mobile Alabama on the Mobile River... Now my dad is gone so I'm showing my 13 yr old daughter this way of fishing. SHE LOVES IT & ANYTHING INVOLVING OUR BOAT & A RIVER!!! IT'S ALL ABOUT GOD, FAITH & FAMILY TO ME & TRYING TO BE HALF THE DAD MY DAD WAS!!! GOD BLESS & MUCH LOVE FROM MOBILE ALABAMA.

I just started fishing last year. I had no idea you could fish like this. I like this way MUCH better. Great video !

Great insight on your way of making jugs and jug fishing. Thanks.

Good to see another Mis'sippi boy having a productive day on the water! Salutations from Pontotoc. I love the your jug concept...gonna have to try that out.

Not at all. In fact, I'll be in Columbus this Saturday for a Masonic meeting.

I like how you made these! They are made better than the ones you can get at Walmart.

Great simple design. Thanks for taking the time to do the explanation!

Great video , years ago I've jugged and ran lines in Columbus lake , brought back memories 👍

I never get tired of watching this one. Good stuff

Get a 5 or 6 ft threaded handle and a Paint roller handle, strip of the extra hardware so you only have the shaft left, . Use that like a gaff to catch the drop lines under your floats. so there is no need to reach over the side and grab them by hand. Enjoyed that Video!

I saw the ones in Walmart that work the same way so I decided I wasn't going to pay Wally World for something I can make. Mine are different than yours somewhat but it is very close also. I used a pretty good chunk of lead to make mine and they work perfectly just as yours do. I'm glad to see another person can do what I do for fun. LOL I live close to Waco, Texas but I used to live in Clarksdale and Tutwiler, Mississippi. I worked for 12 years at Parchman.

Man, i love catfishin, i grew up fishing santee cooper in south carolina with my pop, still love to go there to this day! Great idea on The jug

another great video! showing what else a logger likes to do ! really appreciate all the info on how you make them with the metal in them! I bet you had a great fish fry thanks for sharing your directions on how to make your jugs from N.H. Steve Hatfield

So far I've had a good response to this video and I find it interesting that that others have said post it, we wanna watch it. I'm gonna do more of just videos like this where I'm gonna just take y'all along for the day.

Nice and peaceful and looks like a lot of fun. Rigs look like they are easy to make. Gonna have to try this with my daughter. Nice video.

Loved this video Great job fishing & GREAT job explaining how to make your jugs THX

Thanks for the great video! I've seen it done here in NC but never tried it. I've seen your vid on constructing the noodles and appreciate the education! Keep up the good work!

They work really good . Use them all the time . I use 125 lb. Test nylon line for the main line with no5 o hooks . Use swivels on both ends of the line . That way it makes it harder for the fish to get twisted up and get off .

Very cool rig you made there, and effective too!!

That was fascinating, certainly different to your day job, impressed with your "cat-like" agility on the boat!!!

Appreciate the noodle making tips, I made up 20, but used 3/4 PVC and cut up an old axle to put inside.

Appreciation and love from Texas!!! Thank you brother!!!

Great vid Thanks I hadn't realized there was apiece of metal inside, that makes a perfect bobber. I had seen a similar type of fishing but they just used 20oz pop bottles with the line tied at the cap, but your way works much better. You caught some nice catfish but I didn't see any like we have up here in Connecticut which we call bullhead or mud pout. Our DEEP started stocking Channel Catfish some time ago in certain rivers and ponds/lakes but I haven't caught 1 of those yet. Thanks again and I do like seeing your time off activities so post away Tim I enjoy them.

Very informative. I think I will try this down in southwest Ms. on the Homochitto River. Thanks for the video.

Enjoyed your video. Plan on making me some in the near future. We go to Lake Livingston and Sam Rayburn and have had good luck fishing. Adding some jugs will increase our catching numbers.

Glad to see you get out and have quality time. I've spent allot of time using 2 liter plastic soda bottles. We would do a lot of fishing and then have a big fish fry with friends. Nice video.

Great video,enjoy fishing for yellow/flathead cats here in Texas. Keep posting and have a good one.

Great video man! You got yourself another subscriber. I’m from Mississippi too. I lived in Tupelo for awhile but have moved back down south Mississippi where I’m originally from. About 30 miles north of Hattiesburg. Been doing a lot of catfishing myself lately. Fishing on Okatoma river and catching some nice sized tabby’s and channel cats.

Just a great day on the water. Thanks

Great Vedic. Enjoyed. Keep em coming. Thanks and GOD bless.😃

thanks again like you information never heard of noodle fishing I have to try it on the red river of the north we got big cats up here

love the fishing video man...glad to see you take full advantage of the outdoors down there...love the rig...i mad some simmilar with a bought float but i like the pool noodle.....will have to try...later man..

It's always good to switch things up.

We jug fish down here in the Mobile River delta the same way. It’s lots of fun. Thanks for the video.

very cool in N.H. we call our cat fish HORN POUTS ! We catch ours at nite with brite lanterns or wood fires going and bottom fish night crawlers and stinky beef livers ! and our horn pouts average 6-12 inches love seeing how its done around the country ty tim keep um coming Steve Hatfield

Good video Tim! My kind of thing. I have been thinking of putting out a couple hoop nets on the river for catfish.

I enjoyed this, I like the way you film and narrate so something different is equally enjoyable.

I wish that I was their with you, It was great to see the catfish again, We dondt have them this far north

Great video and tutorial, cotontop3! I would love to get out and fish in a beautiful area like the Tombigbee river. I bet those fish were delicious! It is good to know how to provide your own meat without going to the market every week. More folks need to learn the skills you have shown here. Thanks! -The BRO

The Tennessee river has an unlimited population of Catfish, we used to fish in the Pickwick area!

Thanks for making the video. Next best thing to fishing.

Looks like a great design. I used to set trotlines on the Wakarusa. One time snagged a big ole snapper. Boy was he pissed off.

Lots of Fun ,I like doing this in the Backwater when the River is flooded out in the Oxbows ,

I've been jug fishing for over 50 years. We use old half milk jugs they work great.

Looks very close to mine, but I've tweaked it a little bit. I silence my metal slides with foam pieces on each end because I've seen fish get spooked by it. I use tarred twine instead of mono. I use monster noodles & glue them in place with expanding foam. I also only use forged hooks. Looks like you may have the eagle claw circle hook. They hook very well, but blue cats will straighten them. Perfect for only channels, though.

They now sell something like these at my local Wal-Mart. I'm using a set up with 3oz weights on them. Will be doing a few videos detailing it come this spring and summer.

Nice catching man like them noodles

Awesome, thanks for the good tips??!! bout ready to try for my first time when I get the materials.... Thanks again awesome video...

Keep these vids up great content

perfect eating size on those cats good haul!

That was a pretty good BLUE !!!

Braught back memories. I loved my cast net.until i landed a huge carp with it lol.that was a fun fight,but that faded as soon as i saw the net was treashed lol. Nice vid

+Richard Peterson I hate to catch a carp or gar in my net.

Like the design seen some . I use the pex - blue or red it saves a little money and about 14 " of bright color noodle but if red or blue then white duck tap band to see them easy at night. I have a snap swivel on each end and in the middle with only an inch outta each end & the pool noodles gorilla glued to the pex almost always using the center snap swivel because it's harder to be submerged. 50 lovers can't hold it down long . I do t cap the ends . Hope you can picture that & try a few . Have a Blessed Day Sir 🕊 💜 🙏

Nice haul!

Very interesting, similar to a tip up we use for ice fishing here in Michigan.

Thanks for sharing how to make a jug line

thank you going to give it a try .great Info Sir .

Excellent instructions- thanks

awesome fishing

cool! looks like you had a helluva fish fry later.

Just wanted to say you'd catch more if you Put you weight on the very bottom of the line and tied on more than one swivel and hook. Means a little more bait but puts the bait in two different zones and catches more fish than the single hook set up. Plus it keeps the hook from snagging stuff on the very bottom. Try it and see if it doesn't increase your catch rate.

good stuff, my brother from Columbus turned me on to the area you are fishing ( I live in tupelo area) and ive fallen in love with it,, we've caught some very nice fish on trots and jugs,,, like your idea on the jugs,, may try it
