Jug Line ediquette

[stuartsx5]

Trout, that's funny. So I guess if I'm driving and doing things legaly but you deem me a hazzard then you can just use your good judgement to put me in the ditch?   Most jugs I have seen are highly visible so wouldn't common sense say stay away from them?

Man Stuart you just don't get it. I had my answer on the 1st page. Now this is purely entertaining. I WILL keep "A" distance from the jugs ... but I have the right to fish that area too. If I tangle I will do my best not to damage his rig. But my line comes 1st.  I "KNOW" its not  "MY" spot and its for all to enjoy.... even the tubers. This jugger place at least 10 jugs where I've NEVER seen them before. Thats fine ... have at it. But he place quite a few in the MAIN channel on a HOLIDAY WEEKEND. That is DANGEROUS and STUPID. If it weren't for that I would of just said "what an A**hole and been on my way and never posted here. I have a friend who jugs. He himself admits hes to lazy ... sorry ... boring to fish for cats. I do call him lazy and we have a beer. He agrees. Personally ... if you ever have the thrill to pull in a 50+ pounder on 12 pound test and land it in the boat ... well ... you can't really beat that.

Well, I guess we can agree to disagree. If your friend wants to be lazy, so be it. Most are not. The last thing anyone who knows me would label me is lazy.  In my opinion you don't get it. To each his own. If you don't like someone doing something that is legal work to change the law.

lol Fishinwrench that may be so ... but not from the ones I've seen so I'm not overly afraid.!  .... FYI ... if you knew LOZ at all you would know that the west end of LOZ is more river like than lake so there are NO wide areas to do water sports at. So all I'm asking for is just a "Little" commons sense. Especially on a holiday weekend. 

That's the most hilarious thing I have seen all year. Asking Wrench if he knows LOZ at all? LOL.

There you go again, not using that brain God gave you (that's an assumption I guess). Every situation is different and you have to take the info you have, look at the situation and make an educated decision as best you can. I'm pretty sure we were talking jugs or trotlines that were deemed a boating hazard, not your driving ability. I've stated my reasonable opinion and now I'm done. I could care less whether you agree with me or not, as was previously stated, I'm just not sure you get it.

That's fine trout. We can just all defer to you on what's safe or not.

So who was the unsafe one, the first person who put out the jugs, or the boater pulling the tuber through them.

That's my point. Common sense comes from perspective.
