#3430, "RE: What frog do you throw and why?"
In response to In response to 6


          

Rob:

Here is a tip, tie on a Sumo frog, and fish it.......all day. Open water, in the slop, etc. I'm trying to be cute here and just suggest you fish the dam thing and commit to it. You'll get bites. Reminds me of someone I know recommending how one gets bites with a swimbait. "tie it on, fish it all day"

Here are some things I think are "advanced" frog fishing techniques and tips:

1) learn how to fish your frog in open water, walk the dog style.

2) in the slop, learn how to fish your bait with the rod tip down to make the bait mimic something alive and scurrying on the surface of the scum. Don't be braindead while working a mat. Make short pulls, then make pauses in the holes in the grass, even twitch the bait in the holes. Just don't go blah when mat fishing.

3) Fish between the bank and the grass mat. That littel 6" gap between the shore and the mat is deadly. Throw in some rocks or laydowns between shore and grass mat, oh boy. Basically, assume the fish are under the mat, and looking at the shore. Things that go from the shore and into the water, get eaten.

4) See number 3. Throw your frog on the shore and work it into the water, especially, in your "good areas"...like working uphill with a swimbait.

5) Fish a frog where fish never see a bait. Skip cast under docks, under laydown limbs, flipped into impossible pockets of stuff, etc. Wherever you are sure no one can fish a jig or other bait, throw your frog. Pure novelty of getting a bait where no one else can. Frogs cast really well, and skip really well. And the braided line and weedlessness of the frog give you confidence to literally throw it anywhere.
