jig v There don't be very much fish in around [Indian Harbour] to jig after the trap season is over. [But at the White Bear Islands] they jigged their load of fish and when they got their load jug in the stern of the boat was so close to the land that old Neddy Mulley.stood up on counter of the boat and he jumped ashore. [Add to DNE jig v, to 1979 cite] [From Ryan, Oral History Project, Andy Short tape interview] jigged, got jug: The whole interview of Short should be skimmed to discover if he has variation in past tense, or whether this contrast between past and participle is actually his usage. Some say _jug_ past.
