midwest froggin...

[kllrbee]

Hey guys,

Im in northern IL.  Im just wondering if you guys around the midwest (same kind of temps) are having problems catching with frogs.  Is it too cold?  I see frogs all over hopping around.  Just curious, cuz I am having a real rough time with the froggie.

This time of year the frogs are getting ready to hibernate. Not so sure a frog is your best lure choice though.

Thanks guys,

So real slow or not at all.  I thought it was about time the frogs were starting to hibernate, but wasnt 100% sure.  Now I know. 

Thanks again.   

BTW, no offense to other guys around the country for not asking you, just figured this was a regional thing.   ;D

I believe frogs hibernate at around the same temps bass spawn...and our surface temps are below that here in central il.  I would say the frog bite is over. 

On the other hand, there can still be a top water bite, and i would not be scared to throw a horney toad or anything that moves quickly.  Hows that for a flip flop.

i fish the local ponds in Indiana and i found out that the sizmic toad or the sizmic toad jr. work really good.

you should try the frogs in mid summer or spring.

I am about an hour to hour and a half drive south of you and the frog bite has been rather slow lately. Whats funny and what I can't figure out is that the bass are hitting topwaters right now, just not so much the frogs.

Can toss a chug bug and get hits all day long, but throw a popping style frog in a similar color and not much happening. Picky creatures them bass be.
