The large mouth sport drinks work the best (IMO), I use a slip knot on the line and put the hook and line in the bottle when storing the bottles. They aren't tangled when I am ready for fishing. For me the 2 ltr bottle catches too much wind and you end up chasing them. I've caught several 20 - 30 lb fish on 20 oz bottles, yea they pull em under, but for short distances. Thats a big cork to keep down any time. Bait I use is anything from cut to bream or shad. If I don't think I can catch fresh bait then I will use weenies cut to bite size pieces covered in garlic powder. I then microwave it for a couple of minutes. I went last weekend and am going back Friday night. Good way to keep catfish in the freezer. Not any laws that I know of, but try to pick them all up when you are ready to go home. I paint my jugs white so they are easier to locate with a spot light when its time to go home.
