Passive fishing methods are techniques that allow fish to catch themselves without constant attention from the angler. These methods often involve setting up gear in a specific location and waiting for fish to bite. Common examples include using fishing nets, traps, and lines with baited hooks. This approach is less labor-intensive and can be effective for catching various species. One popular passive fishing method is bottom fishing, where bait is placed on the ocean floor to attract fish. Another method is jug fishing, which uses floating jugs to mark the location of baited hooks. These techniques are ideal for those who prefer a more relaxed fishing experience.
