Live bait is not allowed on jugs, they are non-game fishing devices. Very Illegal. Also, save yourself a lot of hassle and do not fish them at night, I tried it one night and lost 2 in the same night rode for 2 hours looking for them with reflective tape on the jugs. They are something you have to stay right with even in the daylight. I use fairly big noodles and cats over 10lbs will take off with them and disappear. I also would not recommend using more than 5 or 6 at night. Please read up on the regulations before you go, as it is clear from your post you have not read them very well. Right now most pole fishermen hate jug fishermen because of things that the bad ones do, do yourself a favor and don't become one of the bad ones. Be responsible and stay right with the jugs, never leave them.
