bass wrangler569 Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I'm going night fishing tonight at a very weedy lake where I usually do well on hollow-body frogs during the day. Do you guys use frogs at night as well. I'm a little bit worried that I'm going to get a lot of blow ups but not a lot of hookups. Can bass see well enough at night to bust through the grass and find my frog? Quote
Big-O Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Yes bass wrangler, but at night you might want to mix it up a bit and use a frog that makes some racket as well. Larger presentation, more vibration and noise at night is a rule to fish by.... Big O Quote
GonzoFishing Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Try a Stanley Ribbit Frog or a Rage Tail frog or shad. They both cause a disturbance on top of the water that should draw the bass in. Good luck! Quote
rondef Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I have used the both the rage tail toads and shad at night and they have caught me fish. They make a lot of commotion on the water and the bass find them without a problem. Quote
bass wrangler569 Posted August 15, 2008 Author Posted August 15, 2008 Thank for the info guys, I'll definitely break out my black ribbits and see if I can't bring in a few hawgs. Quote
Super User CWB Posted August 15, 2008 Super User Posted August 15, 2008 Have to agree with Charlie and Rondef. For a hollow body frog, try scumfrog big foot. Kicks up as much fuss as some buzzbaits. Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted August 15, 2008 Super User Posted August 15, 2008 Inserting a few slender worm rattles into the body of the frog never hurts. 8-) Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted August 19, 2008 Super User Posted August 19, 2008 Try the scumfrog popper. That might be the best frog of all. Their bigfoot frog is also very good. Quote
Basser1 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Try a stanley ribbit Frog in the catalpa High -Floater. Add a spinnerbait trailer hook, point up. It will help, believe me. Quote
Tarpon 120 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Don't limit your targets to the weeds and vegetation at night with the frog. I bet you will get some good action in the openings as bass move out in the low light. Walk it to create surface disturbance and hold on....... Quote
loomis spookwalker Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Try a slow fishing a spook or a dark floating worm. Black spinnerbaits with large blades also work at night 4 me. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted August 28, 2008 Super User Posted August 28, 2008 If you're going to fish mats and pads at night with frogs, I recommend a Scumfrog Bigfoot. The bait can be fished over the top of veg like a regular frog, and it can motored through clear water patches with its buzzing paddle feet. Snagproof is coming out with a similar bait soon as well, I've seen it in person and it looks great. Quote
