Does anybody here put out trot lines,limb lines or fish with jugs? What's your favorite method? Trot lines are a lot of work which is the only knock on them. I like limb lines the best and they seem to take the biggest catfish. I like jug lines on a float trip or on farm ponds. Anybody else?

I don't use em myself, I think it's a cruel way to fish. But I sure see a lot of jug lines around here.

Why do you think it's a cruel way to fish? The only way I could see it being cruel is if you didn't check your lines regularly.I check every two hours.Anyway,thanks for your post.

I like to use limb lines down the kansas river.There is alot of big cats in the fast current there. I have never used jugs or anything like that but i hate using trot lines, never really had any luck with them. I would say limb lines are the best way to go but it probably depends on where your setting them.

I do not like trout lines.I have had some really bad luck with what I pull up on the next to the last hook.I love to yo-yo but this method is only effective certain times of the year.So the rest of the time it is jug lines.Although it does become quite annoying chasing those dang jugs all over the place.But like my grandparents used to tell me.As long as I am fishing what does it matter.
