Do you use a trot line or rod and reel?

A drop line is tied to a tree.
I should probably let the expert answer these questions.
But you bait out in the morning and check them in the evening/and bait out again.

i see.
Seems to me, they would check trot lines early in the morning. I have also seen jugs used for this purpose. They just tie a baited line onto a plastic jug and let it float. Later that day you go out and round up all your jugs. Is that still allowed?

well, I know they use jug lines on lakes, where there isn't much current. I don't know if they use them on the river or not. Seems like they would just float off.
We do check the lines early in the morning. Then we rebait them and repeat the process in the evening. Finch will fill you in on the particulars when he gets back online.
I have no idea what a yo yo is other than the little toy.

yeah, the jugs are used on lakes.  The Yo Yo Fishing Reel is an automatic fishing reel that is made of galvanized steel with a tempered spring that automatically sets the hook when the trigger is released by a fish taking the bait. The Yo Yo Fishing Reels are very popular for catching Crappie and Catfish. They can be attached to limbs, boat docks, the side of a boat, or any other means that will suspend the reel a couple of inches above the water. They also make an excellent device for Ice Fishing. |

That is a bold-faced lie. I know being chased by suped up Suburbans driven by men in green uniforms was a traumatic experience but I know you remember. |
