If you have any fish in there you don't want to lose, then don't use jug lines. I have used them in the past (not on current ponds) and caught LMB in addition to CC. They almost always swallow the hook, leading to death on the line, or later. In a pond, use milk jugs, cooking oil jugs, or two liter bottles with about two feet of strong nylon line tied to a single hook. Bait with very small BG or green sunfish, live or cut, and toss out to float around.
