lectricbassman Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Ive been doing some heavy research on using topwater frogs over the last few weeks and thanks to everyone here I finally got one! It was honestly the funnest catch of my life yet! I was fishing a pond that is in a local park. This place gets lots of pressure and I wasn't sure if I was wasting my time. I decided to go off the beaten path and fish the nastiest looking places I could reach, areas that would have intimidated me a few months ago. Thanks to everyone here I had enough confidence to try, realizing that this is where the fish would be. I was using a black h20 express frog, throwing it into heavy duckweed and lay downs. I cast out and popped the frog a few inches and then waited...Kerthwump! I had a strike! I knew from the forums that I needed to wait until I felt the weight of the fish so I gave it a few seconds and wham, fish on! It wasn't the biggest fish Ive caught but it was by far the most exhilarating, I'm hoping to go out and catch a few more before the season's over. Again, I wouldn't have had the confidence and know how if it weren't for everyone here at BR, thanks! 1 Quote

boostr Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Shweeet, that's definitely primo top water frog territory. I was like you, my first hollow body frog fish wasn't big either. Now that frog set up will go with you every where because everywhere is where the weeds, mats, and pads are. I don't leave home without it. Quote
TBO Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Congrats! Frogs are awesome the blow ups you witness are incredible. Like boostr i never go out without a frog setup. Quote
