It’s Time for the Fall Frog Bite August is upon us and the fun is about to begin! Every year about this time, I start to get that urge to watch a bass destroy a frog over the grass. We are right on schedule the grass is beginning to brown up, turn nasty and icky and the nastier it gets the better the frog bite. If you go back to the history of this technique, no technique or pattern has brought more people or notoriety to Guntersville than catching fish on a frog. In the late 60’s and early 70’s Lloyd Talent of Guntersville invented this technique and the soft rat along with it, he called it “rat fishing” and along with the Guntersville grass made Guntersville as famous as any lake in the country. In the late 80’s Lloyd Talent sold his technology and patterns to Mann’s bait company and the rest is history. Rat fishing became frog fishing and has proliferated all over the country, there are now probably 10 companies making their own version or the rat or frog and people come from all over the country to fish Lake Guntersville. This attacking explosion of a big bass busting up through the grass to eat a frog is as addicting as any fishing pattern ever discovered. The best thing about this is as we move into fall, the frog bite last all day long. The brighter the sun, the nastier the grass, the ickier the top is, the more it foams and creates a path with your frog the more fish you catch. There is no real key to it, you just have to find that icky brown grass, listen for the bream sucking insects off the top of the grass and you’re ready. Throw the rat out there slowly wind it back, maybe pop it a little, or stop and move it and hang on. The frog fishing pattern is upon us; my preferences is Tru-Tungsten Pro Maxx Frogs, their tough, weighted correctly and catch fish with extremely sharp hooks.
