Jugging for catfish on MS River

Anyone been having any luck? I'm thinking about trying tomorrow around VIcksburg. Any advice would be appreciated. I figured it would be good since the river was so low.

Juggling?

I, for one, would never juggle a catfish. Especially not 3 catfish

me and bushwood have caught some off the bank of the river before

I've been using dead shrimp off the bank and catching nice blues. If you mean jugging, not juggling, then I would say just stick to rod and reel unless you feel like chasing jugs around that current all day.

Jugging, not juggling. I can't even juggle three tennis balls. No way I would attempt to juggle a catfish.

River is below 5' @ Vicksburg. Shouldn't have to deal with much current.

we run traps in the river and jug lined a few times. i would suggest using fresh shad you caught. if not, catch some bream and bait it with them.
i have found that since the river is low it might be hard to catch. we try to hit it on a good fall.

Yeah, that is THE way to do it. I decided today, after an experiment on the Mississippi River yesterday, that I was going more to jugs.
Here's the twist. Tie them to a 3 hook drop line with a weight on the bottom. Get in behind a pile of rocks or any place on the edge of where the current breaks. Drop and go.
We caught on the two jug lines like this last night. I would've never thought to set a line in one place (couldn't really) because it was such a sandy bank.
Bream or carp, preferably. If not, like MSandLa said, shad.
Paint your jugs flourescent orange, they'll stand out like a beacon.
