Truman: Still Saving My Money and Frog Gigging is Phenominal Right Now

**Shiner** · 07-22-2013, 11:10 AM

In my last post I talked about not fishing for awhile and saving money for when it got a little better, which it seems to be doing from what I've heard, I am gonna try and give em' hell this weekend. Anyway, since then I have been doing some alternative activities. I think the most fun I have had in a awhile has been frogging, which seems to be my new addiction in the past few weeks. I have been finding some impressive bullfrogs, and green frogs that are pretty good size as well. I used to frog gig all the time in my teenage years and haven't been much until recently. The best thing about it is the frogs are in abundance this year, I think its because all the rain we had earlier in the year. I have a bad shoulder that becomes evident after a night of frog gigging. It will wear you out if your not careful.The frog legs I've been getting are delicious. I would suggest that anyone who hasn't tried it, does try it. You can make your own gig, and some of the ones I've been finding you really need a smaller net on a long pole, due to mud and the fact that the frogs our out on the water. Just be sure and follow the limits and guidelines, daily limit is eight bullfrogs or green frogs, or a combination of either totaling 8, the possession limit is 16... Hope some of you try it and have fun, it can get tricky at times...

My two sons have been going a few times this year. They wound up with 15 Saturday night. I see a cookout in the near future.

Most fun we ever had was using a small crappie jig in a 1/32oz head dangled over their face, they gulp it up, SET THE HOOK. Back then we used just plan bamboo, now we have them fancy smancy light weight graphite rods... I ought to try that again.
