June 13, 2008, Newsletter Issue #89: Big Frogs for Big Bass
Tip of the Week
Frogs are valuable bait for more than one reason.
The first is that they're perfect for largemouth bass. Frogs live in and around where bass feed heavily in submerged weed beds, under lily pads and near the shoreline, places frogs are likely to be found chasing food of their own.
The second reason is that they're so hard to come by. Catching enough frogs to make fishing with them is tough, and in some jurisdictions, using frogs as bait is restricted.
Frogs can be kept in a cooler with an inch of water and a lightweight piece of wood they can climb up on. They'll last a few days without food. Try feeding them crickets but don't count on them eating much in captivity. Hook frogs through the nose and cast them to open water near submerged bass cover. Frogs will bury themselves in weeds where the bass can't reach them if you're not careful.
