What is jug fishing?

Jug fishing is a technique used for catching fish using a jug or a buoy as a floating device. The jug is attached to a fishing line with a hook and bait, and is left to float on the surface of the water. When a fish takes the bait, the jug will start to move, alerting the angler to reel in the catch.

Jug fishing is commonly used in lakes, rivers, and ponds, and is especially popular for catching catfish. It is a simple and effective method that can be used by anglers of all skill levels. Jug fishing is often done in groups, with multiple jugs placed in the water to increase the chances of catching fish.

However, jug fishing is not legal in all states and jurisdictions, so it is important to check local fishing regulations before attempting this method. Additionally, it is important to always monitor jugs closely to prevent them from becoming lost or causing harm to wildlife.
