Hot News on Frogs

I just got word. The frogs are on the move.

There legs have grown and they're moving out of the small ponds. Look for the shallow bite to pickup.

Good Luck.

[TurnUpTheFishing]

Good, maybe the scumfrog bite will pick up for me this year. Ive only got 2 little fish so far.

[katoguy]

25-50 scummies and tournies. Frogs, rats, etc...

Check. Also, just got in some horny toads to try.

[Deitz Dittrich]

i went out this morning to one of my fave small scum frogs lakes... Managed 5 fish in 2.5 hours fishing.. not great, but the scum frog bite has started.

[SCUMFROG]

I'm getting bitten all the time.

[st.crioxfishin]

Anyone else try those toads that different companies are making now like zoom and sizmic(sp?)

I tried them for a little bit last week up north and I really liked them. Those little legs sure do give off a good wake. Then give them a pause and bam! It was fun

Well, I used this hot tip to get myself embarrased by the bass tonight. Was having difficulty finding bass, catching a pike and a couple panfish before finding the bass in a shallow bay(sounds familiar if you read my last post). They were feeding on the surface, so I busted out the scum frog and went to work, And boy was it frustrating. I am usually pretty successful using the frogs, but it was off tonight. I had a bunch of different fish blow up on it, and about half of them hit a second or third time. It took them 2 or 3 to finally get the thing, and when I set the hook I had my frog flying back at me. Didn't manage to land one fish, and with time escaping me I decided to try and pick up a few gills for a meal, so I slowly made my way back to the access fishing a bobber and worm and ended up catching my only two bass using that. One dink, and one about 15". As I said, I think the fish were just trying to embarrass me! But the definitley were liking the scum frog.

Frogs - Yup. Many years ago there was a bait called

'Plummers Super-frog'. Had a foam rubber body & a

weedless hook, flat rubber legs. Looked pretty dumb,

but the bass absolutely loved it - it always lands

with a soft 'plotch' noise, just like you would expect

a real frog to sound like. And the bass thought so, too.

Never had such a fun bait at dusk - too bad they

discontinued it. When I found out they were doing so,

I went and bought 2 dozen of 'em, and now only have about

3 left. Northerns like them too at times, I guess.

Still, a great bait in its' day!

Are frogs ever used in deeper water over weeds? Like 6-10ft? On just close to shore with pads, docks, etc... I've never used one and would like to try... but the lake I like to fish has no pad areas.. only docks.

[SCUMFROG]

Yes you can use frogs over deep weeds. I've had bass come up from a deep weed edge to hit them. I like using the popper scum frogs for the deeper water cause they give off more sound and the bass can find them easier.

No pads and deep water off docks? sounds like Zara Spook country to me..Was on the St Louis river shore fishing and took the woods back to the truck last night, Frogs everywhere, grass to high to catch any or maybe it is because I don't bend down so low any more....
