Good day caught my first frog fish

[Fred Allen]

Went out to a small local lake this morning on my kayak. Got there at 7am and could not believe how much weeds grew there sine a couple weeks ago. I didnt know what to do. The only places without weeds was real deep and had no fish at all probably because it was away from the shore. I got an idea and used a T rigged fluke and got a nice one. My first fluke fish and my first T rigged plastic fish. I just threw it to shore and dragged it over the weeds. I got a lot of hits but they kept coming off or missing the lure. 

 

So then I remembered I had a frog in one of my boxes.  IT WAS CRAZY. Nothing in my life has ever been so much fun. 50 pound braid on bait caster throwing a frog is a RUSH. I lost many fish that were HUGE. But the ones I got were no little guys. Every fish I got was at least 3 pounds. Battery was dead in my scale so I couldn't know exactly. 

 

2 guys in small boats with trolling motors were there but they didnt go deep into the weeds like I did. Maybe they were scared their motor would hang in the weeds?  When I say weeds I mean weeds. 80% of the lake is 5 feet or less deep and every inch of it was weeds top to bottom.  

 

Watching the HUGE carp fighting or whatever they were doing was fun too. Some of them are so big I think they would tip my kayak if he wanted too. 

 

Now my new obsession is the frog. Any tips on a very good frog lure to buy? Mine is a ozark trail walmart one so im sure there are better.

I’m trying not to be jealous. 

But seriously that’s awesome.

If that Walmart frog is catching them then I'd say that's $1.97 well spent!

 

Booyah make good frogs at reasonable prices. Only thing I've caught on a frog is a bullfrog. Nice going!

Booyah makes a good popping and walking frog, my buddy swears by snag proof frogs, that will be the next one I buy.  The toadrunner is a cool little frog too.

Frogging is too much fun

I like the Booyah Pad Crasher and the Spro Bronze Eye Frog. Frog fishing can be addictive. If I catch one on a frog I've been known to throw it all day.
