It depends on where you're fishing.

First off, go online and find the local fishing report for wherever you're fishing, example : Google "Lake Pomme de Terre fishing report". This will tell you what species of catfish have been biting lately, and more importantly what they're biting on.

If you're using prepared meat, such as beef liver, chicken gizzards, or Hot Dogs, you can use a treble hook (about 3/4 inch from point to point) or just a large rubber worm hook, and just thread the meat on to where it is secure. You can even use a series of barrel swivels (with quick-snaps) to rig multiple hooks on a single line.

If using commercial catfish dough, mold it into a ball and smush it onto a medium size treble hook. However, dough likes to fly off when you cast it. I bought some dough bait rigs from Bass Pro http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_58187____SearchResults and these have worked well.

If you're fishing in a pond or small lake, no weights or floaters are needed, as the bait will sink and catfish are bottom feeders. If fishing in a river or lake arm with a current, add a few casting sinkers or splitshot weights to the line to keep the bait on the bottom. Good luck!

How many gallon jugs of water will fit on a pallet?

The number of gallon jugs of water that can fit on a pallet depends on the size of the pallet and the dimensions of the jugs. A standard pallet typically measures 48 inches by 40 inches and can support a height of about 48 inches. If we assume the jugs are the standard 1-gallon size (about 6 inches in diameter and 11 inches tall), you could fit approximately 36 jugs in a single layer (9 jugs across and 4 jugs deep), and with 4 layers, you could fit around 144 jugs total on a pallet. Adjustments would be needed based on actual jug dimensions and stacking considerations.
