Trying to fine tune my jugline fishing. When fishing anchored lines how many on here fish with the line tight, or the line is same length as the water depth, and how many fish with the line slack or like line 30' and water 20'? Thanks for your input.

Usually about 2-5 foot worth of slack. In case big fish move the weight a bit. Easier to pick up as well from your boat

I don't fish jugs anymore but when I did it I would generally have an extra five to eight feet extra from the depth of the water, keep in mind if a big fish swims away the jug could go under and if Slows down or stops on the bottom then the jug will resurface

I have always left enough slack to account for the waves and a little extra.

about 1-2 feet of slack, depends on the waves. But, make sure your bottom hook, does not touch bottom, for you can hang up. bottom hook should be double the height of Slack, unless Sandy bottom. JMO
