Jug fishing is a method of catching fish using floating devices, known as jugs, that are anchored to the water's surface. Each jug is typically attached to a line with a hook and bait, allowing fish to bite while the jug remains buoyant. This technique is often used for larger species, such as catfish, in lakes and rivers.
Anglers can place multiple jugs in a designated area, creating a spread that increases their chances of catching fish. Once a jug is pulled under the water, it indicates that a fish has taken the bait, prompting the angler to retrieve the jug and reel in their catch.
