Frog Fishing 12 Months a year | Articles-Fishing Lures, Spinnerbaits, Hair Jigs, Bass Lures

Frog Fishing Can be a 12 Month Technique Over the years that I have been fishing Guntersville and other lakes I have found that frog fishing combined with the right set of circumstances can catch fish 12 months a year. I used to believe that we had a window of opportunity all set up around the grass growth, but have since realized that you can catch good fish anytime if you just use the natural surroundings to your advantage! I spent a little time over the past week searching through all my now 18 years of fishing history, and have found that when I really wanted to work a frog there was an opportunity to catch fish every month of the year. In fact I had one January where I caught more big fish on a frog than any bait during that month. The key was just finding two things; that being active bait fish and the next being cover, any cover worked like boat houses, or lay down trees along edges, over hanging branches, or just grass that had not gotten blown away yet. It was just amazing to me to recall all the bass that would strike a frog when they just had a couple of elements right. That January I referred to was cold as my data showed the outside temperature in the low 40’s but the grass had not been totally eliminated and we caught 4 of the biggest fish for that year of fishing. The fact is you don’t need grass only to produce a frog bite or a big fish, a frog is a very versatile bait and my data proves it; if you’re a dock fisherman I can tell you that a frog can be skipped up under a dock very easily and when bait is present it’s as deadly as fishing a jig under a dock. If you like fishing a frog, you can make a everyday bait with just a little thought and planning of your fishing day!
