THEY WORK! Catching Catfish on Overnight DIY Juglines!

[@josh.whitehead]

OSG's getting a pretty big baby bump bro.. happy for y'all.

[@theCalsfv]

Hey Justin, I've used jug lines often and one thing I suggest if you are going to be out with the jugs is allow them to drift with the wind. They will cover more water and have a greater chance of catching fish. Also catch fresh shad or blue gills and cut them into chunks. I will be putting a video together to show you how I do it.

[@bigcountry8636]

This is my favorite LFG vid yet!

[@grantspeck2053]

One simple and cheap modification I have used to help keep track of jugs in the dark and recognize strikes is to put a glow stick in the end. Poke both ends in between the noodle and the pvc. When a fish activates the jug the glow stick points straight up.

[@deke441]

Circle hooks, cut bait, and chicken livers. Good luck!

[@TreybleRockLake]

You have quickly became a carpenter my friend! So much fun to get new tools and put them to use.

[@JDLeos]

Always great content! Let's get LFG to 1Million!

[@jeremynewhouse6530]

Try some cut bluegill next time.

[@ahkeen42]

or use live blue gill

[@dylan.m8865]

Anything fresh or chicken liver

[@johnjoman1634]

Jeremy Newhouse agreed that store bought stuff is terrible

[@davidchaney8850]

i agree, cut gills for sure

[@cameronhall04]

Jeremy Newhouse for me the won’t bite in bluegill but they bite on hotdog

[@Razned]

I like vids like this, different fishing techniques. Not like hundreds of other typical fishing vids on KZbin.

[@NAnarchist-qi6ru]

Justin, for big ol' cats, try this. For blues and channels throw out some chicken liver, wrap it in some panty hose to keep it hooked well. Hook it onto a 5/0 or 6/0 Circle hook. For the best tasting catfish (flathead). Use a little bit bigger hook and throw on some live shad/shiners or some cut bluegill. You and OSG will be eating some catfish dinner! Good luck!

[@Wicked03GT]

LFG, I got what you need on the jug lines brother. I have felt your pain, but I have taken that pain and turned it into the greatest creation EVAR! You are on the right path with your noodle setup, but you went wrong with the thin noodle. You got to hit up wal Mart and got the ultra media super fat pool noodles. Chop that bad boy down to dumbbell size and fit it to your rig, but do not secure it just yet. Once it fits your jug line aetup, whatever it may be, you take the big noodle and put it on a spare piece of PVC, take and angle grinder with a coarse flap disc and begin to shape the noodle like an hour glass. It doesn't take much, you just want some tape to keep your excess rope in check and in the middle. Then! Get rid of those loops, wasted effort and rope. All you need is a straight piece of rope like you already got, deploy your jug line, find bottom and give it some scope. Take you noodle and you rope, make a loop with a couple twists in it, wrap that loop over the noodle, do it again the other direction. Your rope length will not move because it's twisted under itself and its not a knot, so once you get back home thst evening, stretch out your lines and unwrap the twists, your hugs are ready to deploy again.

[@HookFaced]

Those preserved bag shad are complete junk

[@josephagamble8863]

Cliff Burrows yeah they are junk

[@austinv7957]

Cliff Burrows

[@williamemery2817]

Yeah I've never caught anything on them or the dough balls

[@mikeyulrich917]

Live bluegill have always been the best for me. The bar-s hotdogs always seemed to be really soft, so I’d toss them in some garlic salt to help. Love the videos, man.

[@froggleggers1805]

Circle hooks

[@willispautz]

froggleggers I was thinking trebles because a circle hook requires a reel down to set into the corner of the mouth. That’s why I was thinking his fish were getting off to easily

[@maxanderson2925]

Willis Pautz the circle hook sets itself, no need for a sharp pull to penetrate the mouth like j hooks

[@froggleggers1805]

Yep Max, we used them cod fishing on long liners in Alaska.

[@willfaulkner1743]

froggleggers. He needs octopus circle hooks. They make the fish hook them selves and they won’t get off

[@chmowski]

Used to jug fish with my brother before getting into almost exclusively bass fishing. Couple tips i would give: Circle hooks - fish pulls down and sets the hook on itself Raw shrimp you buy at the grocery store works pretty well around here if you can't cast net some shad up for cut bait. it also doesn't stink. We had noodles set up for 5/10/15 feet lengths as usually the thermocline wasnt much deeper than that in the heat of summer.

[@nhultine2034]

Hey LFG. Love the wood working videos. Definitely incorporate more of them into the channel!

[@MikeH0311]

Best guy on KZbin

[@StickEmFishing]

Sad to say I've missed your last few video. Don't mind going back and watching. They always are so good!

[@BigBearFishing]

I am glad your determination paid off Justin!!

[@havinfun1911]

Cut skipjack are what the catfish here like. They have more oil than shad. Another thing I have used is chicken breast cut in chunks with a lot, a lot, a lot of garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Let the chicken marinate in that for a couple days then use or freeze for later use. Also cut or live bluegill works well to. Great video, thanks for all you and OSG do while making these videos for us. God bless.

[@StickEmFishing]

These things are super sick. I don't catfish but I also like learning all kinds of stuff, super sweet.

[@tonyblanco3252]

Yeee yeeee catfish 101 hell yeahhh keep up the video!!! Favorite to watch

[@7citiesfishing]

Been waiting for this video since you mention doing it in the last catfish video

Good afternoon! Very good Fishing Congratulations Fisherman! Have a great week. Hugs and good *Fishing!* 👍🎣

[@masonvarnes3885]

Maybe you should try to set the hook at the start when you are reeling it in

[@xxclintmanxx3080]

You and rob should do a back packing fishing trip. Or just regular camping

[@aaronmonroe8208]

Love your channel man! We've had success with the bait being no more than 7 ft bellow the jugs. Live bluegill if legal there or fresh cut bait works as well.

[@davidarnold9117]

Dude, you are a great guy and I love your channel. Keep up the great work and never stop growing.

[@clayringler6958]

Hey Justin, get ya one of those inexpensive telescoping boat hooks at the marine supply, it helps ya grab the line on the jugs and you can use it to help dock your boat too.

[@philipbyrd2699]

In Florida we use old ivory bar soap. Take a cheese cutter and cut the soap into sugar cube size cubes and hook it and drop in the water works really good for over night jug fishing. Give it a try

[@LouisianaOutdoorsmen]

May sound weird, but the absolute best bait for jugs is Beef Stew Meat marinated in minced garlic. Have never caught anything under 2 pounds on it. Circle hooks are also your best bet to keep them on the hook better. Just a little tip to not lose so many when pulling them in, yank the line like your setting the hook on a normal fish on rod and reel, works every time. I am actually doing my first Jug Line video tonight on my channel Louisiana Outdoorsmen!

[@MrDoaner]

Great video buddy, I like the switch up videos to different fish.

[@specializedcyclekid]

LFG .... You ever throw a spread cast net? Getchu some live shad, maybe a Gill. Get them baked in the sun just Long enough to dry out a bit, not rot. Ooooman you wanna talk about bringing them in! I grew up with jug lines on the lake of the Ozarks and man are they fun! 12yrs old I was running a few dozen noodles, counting the group like you do ..and I lost one. Only to catch a glimpse of it coming back to the surface several minutes later. Now to hold a jug under that fish has got to have some legs on it. I landed a 64lb blue that day and I've been hooked since. With a nice respect for big fish I might add. My set up was around 20" of pool noodle get your trautline in the tip of a pair of needle nose. Shove it halfway through about 3-4" from the end.(half way cause the needle nose would spread that hole around the string) Go to the other side of the noodle and go in to retrieve the string so it is clean threaded thru. now needle nose in the noodle center hole on the short end grab the string and pull a loop and tie it all together. The loop ensuring that the noodle tips from the end and stands up. No weights, no pvc. They will stand up to many dozens of fish before they wear out. If it's not looking good go cut another section of the 99¢noodle and you are fresh, back in the game. This hits close to home, chasing noodles. Keep em coming bud

[@specializedcyclekid]

Pvc and the weight inside gets hit and it's triggered. I guess it's an indication to check your bait. That all just seems like more to dial in for it to work. Keep it simple. You betcha you won't be disappointed Shoot man what am I saying, teachmesomethingnew

[@GPTInDaHouse]

Ayyy, ive been waiting for this for a while!

[@sailinslim402]

Great video! When I go camping at my favorite lake, I use cheap little cocktail wieners on circle hooks and they almost never fail to produce a couple of eating size channel cats. If they do, there's always a box of Zatarains dirty rice mix and left over cocktail wieners for dinner, cooked up in a cast iron skillet.

[@texasbassjunkie5601]

Awesome video LFG!

[@Eggsncheese22]

That beginning beat was so good I had to turn it down because I thought my house was going to start on fire 🤣

[@GH-ru9kk]

Buy a casting net and get bait from the lake. Enjoying your videos! That trick to put the T on the end of the jug is awesome

[@RustyWells2]

I love the catfishing videos and the dyi is the cherry on top.

[@nathanbarnes9373]

Keep doing these types of videos Would like to see a part two of this jugging

[@austinh8080]

LFG with some dope beats!!

[@pedrovasquez3103]

Thanks for taking us on the learning journey with you....keepin it real is the best! #MrHumble

[@WarzolJR]

Might want to put a snubber on your leader leading to your hook. This will help improve your percentage of hookups I think. They are basically surgical tubing with swivels on either end of them. When a fish strikes, the surgical tubing flexes and helps set the hook for you. We used them when downrigging very deep for smaller fish that sometimes had trouble tripping the downrigger slips.

[@chrisbraun11]

Another great vid LFG !

[@urtypicalguy]

Did you make the holster for your Morakniv? If so, can u make a video for it plz?

[@riverrat537]

Take 16oz. bottles paint them white and cut a swimming noodle in 3-4 inch slices. Glue the slices to the bottle bottom with liquid nails and tie the line around the neck of the bottle and you are ready to go. The hook can be stuck in the noodle slice on the end and stacked in a milk crate to keep them all together. When I jug fish my crate has around 30 jugs in the crate and I can put them out or pick them up in just a few minutes. My lines are only 3-4 foot long because I fish the flats, but if you want to fish longer lines you can wrap the lines around the jug and use a rubber band to secure the line at a certain depth. The lines I use small trotline with a barrel swivel tied to 30 pound mono with a small hook with threaded or cut shad. Give it a try it works well and its cheap.

[@peterjensen7040]

In the winter time for tip ups, at dark time there are these lights than you can attach to your flag and when the flag is horizontal the light is off but when you get a fish the flag goes vertical and the light flashes! You should check them out and see how the work on them!

[@garylaforge8677]

Cool video. I’m definitely going to try this. Thanks

[@heisenberg-w.w8869]

I've been using cheap shrimp soaked with garlic marinade for bait for the cats. Also have used herring in the jar and added garlic powder. Works well with both. Shrimp seems to work better though. Perch and other fish like it also. Last cat I caught was about 4 pounds. I am not a fish eater but after watching your videos and that recipe you've been using I want to get some good fish and try it out. It's looks very tasty.

[@mattcrupe]

Great video, I loved the timelapse!

[@tinysupreme6417]

I love these catfishing videos. To me bass fishing video after bass fishing video gets boring so it's a good change of pace.

[@GrandLakeGuy]

Nice video and review. we use fresh cut shad and goldfish on our jugs.

[@brendanazar5770]

Tip number one that you should do when your bringing up the line hook set it like a rod or pulled it up fast that way if there is one bitting it it will get hooked tip.number two raw hot dogs don’t stay on the hook that good they can easily fall off.Also your hook size and shape matters you want to use a 3/0 odd or a 4/0 odd depending how big your catfish are and I would recommend a circle hook. These are just some ideas you can use and they have worked for me before when catching cats

[@robertintexas]

I built these same pool noodle lines. I used a little bit longer piece of rebar. Maybe sit around the boat launch and catch some bluegill before you go out. Use the small ones whole and cut the bigger ones in chunks.

[@neilrech933]

Atta boy primer and glue you are comin up bubba. Love keep it up!!!!

[@reagannielsen644]

I jug line fish a lot and what you should do is catch those carp, then use them as cut bait. Then get some circle hooks.

[@aaronbolduc9956]

Looks fun! Music was awesome too.

[@zakjurko3291]

When my dad and I put our lines out, we always put ours in about 10 feet or less at lake Texoma. We usually get a few good eating size a day if we check them regularly.

[@ClaytonKicks]

Love these types of videos keep up the great work

[@njgruntfishing711]

Love these videos!! Keep up the great work and producing these great vids LFG!!

[@NurseMickiLea]

Awesome that you just keep learning and teach others without worrying about losing a few in the process. Blackened catfish catch and cook with OSG??

[@zedrad1]

I love the PVC pipe thingies! Why not tie a quick release knot when using the eyelets? That way you can adjust to what ever length you need.

[@chrisanderson9856]

Great video! Perhaps you should try good old stink bait on the ribbed plastic used when you bank fished for them. I would also try some live suckers or other minnows. I agree the surgical tubing would be the best option to keep hooks away from main down line to the weight.

[@Achannelidonthave]

Love the building and diy videos and love the catfish videos so this was a double whammy

[@papabearoutdoors2393]

Try cutting the 2 packages of hot dogs into 1" chunks. Place them into a plastic bag with 2 tbsp of minced garlic and 1 packet of strawberry Kool-Aid mix. This has worked extremely well for me. The garlic sends an oil slick in the water and the strawberry flavoring helps them hold on to the baits. Good luck.

[@BuckcreekTV]

I'll jug in 4ft to 17ft of water. I use about 4-5ft of line on each jug for the entire set. This is just my experience but it seems that overnight when the water cools off a good bit the catfish are willing to come up off the bottom and eat the bait. I also either use bream (mid seaction of body not tail or head or whole live bream) or chicken gizzards as bait since they both stay on the hook well. Final suggestion would be a circle hook since I have a much better hook up ratio. Great video hope to see more in the future!!!

[@josephagamble8863]

Blue gills are the best bait for big catfish .... Thank you for your hard work catfishing

[@TheRiffingFatboy]

I hate those prepackaged catfish baits....never had any luck. There is no comparison for a cast net and fresh cut shad

[@quentincruz2695]

Your channel is the best!!!

[@colbyclayton1921]

A pack of chicken breast, a small can of wd40 and garlic powder. Let it sit the the sun in a bucket for half a day. Works great for us! Make sure to wear gloves if you do try it. We also use circle hooks with that bait. Stays on very very well. Good luck!

[@punkerboy909]

The troop of danglers. lol hell yeah!

[@mikespangler1841]

Hey LFG, try putting some old chicken livers or some not so fresh sun baked cow heart. Try putting them in some tubes of gauze or pantyhose, doubled over and tied. This works for us in the fast rivers of northwest Florida on bushhooks when the river is on the way up. They last for about three or four hours in the current and have produced many cats. (Tip, when you catch them keep them alive till you are going to clean and cut the tail off so they bleed out, let them hang head up for about 30 min then clean, keeps the meat blood free and clean) love the vids keep it up.

[@laurenrose9518]

One tip for ya justin, shorten your lines so they are free floating. You'll have a much better hook up ratio

[@Chestthumperoutdoors]

A few tips: Stick with circle hooks for increased hook up ratio, something even better would be a treble hook, but only use if you plan to eat the fish. Look into a 3 way swivel to tie your hook of off it'll help with the fish twisting and causing tangles and getting off. Those shad are terrible bait, grab a cast net and catch your own shad. Fun to do and can get as much bait as you need.

[@brandenc0241]

You could add some garlic powder or cherry jello mix on those hot dogs or cherry jello mix with garlic powder on the hot dogs to give them extra kick for the catfish cuz I've learned that scent is key when it comes to catfish ☺☺

[@jasonclark8921]

Big thumbs up. Hope your having a great week.

[@rbljackson]

Did the noodles with the T fittings end up working out better than the others? IM about to make some, and wanted to know if that method was worth it. I like the idea of being able to control the depth and use the weights to keep them in place. With all the wind we have here in Texas, id like to keep the jugs in a specific area and keep them from blowing up into the trees and tangles.

[@jakekirkman9651]

Just watched your first date video 😂😂👍👍. Awesome fishing in that little river

[@russellwittie8961]

You must get a casting net and get real shad. It's what they feed on. Good vids, keep em coming.

[@davishatcher1942]

Awesome I’m going to build those and can’t wait to use them thanks for showing us

[@Anthony-nj4ej]

keep these catfish vids coming!!!

[@apbassin2213]

You are the best congratulations on the baby!!!!

[@michaeldaywalt8170]

If you see shad, check the TX regs on casting nets for shad and using them as live bait on the jugs.

[@jacobenglish7753]

If you have a local bait shop that sells live shinners you might try getting some. I have a camp on Toledo Bend and I use shinners most of the time when I'm fishing for catfish. And the end result is usually a cooler full of fish.

[@jjgoldsberry]

Lfg! If it's legal in Texas, catch some baitfish or smaller fish in the water you're fishing in for cats. That and shrimp. Like frozen shrimp in a bag from the store.

[@brianstroh7053]

LFG, try putting some cut up hot dog with some mayonnaise in a container/jar and let sit in the sun for a few days. The dogs will stay on the hook a little better and the mayo leaves a great stinky oil trail for the cats to pick up on.

[@TheFlyingJerzey]

Awesome video. Might give this a try one day.

[@silencerstudent9381]

OSG IS GETTING READY TO POP!!

[@josemelendez4971]

Nice video. Does plastic bait have a shelf life?

[@derrickcarr602]

You could try an egg loop knot to help secure the bait. Or maybe a treble hook for better hook ups.

[@finsfeathersfuroutdoors2460]

Cut shad has always worked by far the best for me. Take a throw net out and catch some from the body of water you're fishing I swear that helps alot too

[@michaelf161]

I’ve had soo many people tell me to use all this crazy stuff but night crawlers are the best bait till this day

[@harrisontheoutdoorguy3909]

I'm 12 years old and You've helped me learn how to fish. Hope someday I will get to meet you. Can you please come to Alabama

[@corymartin5129]

Being into woodworking you probably have the tools to do this but if you have a lathe you can cut nice spirals in the foam and wrap your line neatly that way.

[@mexicanfire21]

LFG use some chicken liver with those circle hooks. And I would also recommend to use miracle tread to hold the chicken liver on the hook. Good luck 👍🏼

[@zacrobert8153]

I have used jug lines since I was a kid but let then eat the bait for a few minutes and when you go to lift the noodle you kinda set the hook by when you are in a squat position hold the jug out and stand up Simi fast or you can hold the jug in the water and lift it over your head to help the fish slide back into the middle of the hook because the way they get off is by working it out of there mouth or by twisting the line up just a little tip And for bait use bluegill but don't forget to clean the hook point from the scales from the bluegill or with the hot dogs let them sit in the front of you boat to let them get warm and nasty so what I do is go fish for the day with the hotdogs in the front of the boat then at night I set out the jug lines then I check them in the morning

[@Zachary_Abner]

11:17 you look like the guy in the Christmas Carol

[@BeadyB85]

Chicken liver works great! Use sewing thread to keep it on. Just wrap it around the hook and around the liver

[@josecapablanca2396]

Just something I picked up from years of jugging for kitties instead of the chartreuse colored tape use reflective air duct tape like the tape they use to tape air ducts in attics together.it makes it so easy to see the reflection in the dark night with a flashlight. Oh yea and a spotlight with high candela power works too

[@damianbresnahan1935]

Love your videos and keep up the good work
