RE: Frog gigging?
I like to catch bullfrogs like you catch fish.I save all my broken rubber worms and tear them into chunks about an inch and a half long and thread them onto a #4-6 hook weedless style with point in worm and a split shot on my line.I cast out to where the frogs are and twitch and jig the worm on top of the moss.The next thing you know the frogs are fighting over the worm.It is a lot of fun and you can do it in the daylight.I have caught several hundred frogs like this.If you try it, try not to laugh too hard and let me know how you did.

we just doo it in a boat and drive around and shine for eyes then pick em up with our hands. just make sure you dont grab a small alligator. your be suprised how hard those things can bite and how easy they are to mistake for frogs

Now I see you guys talking about not being able to walk and gig frogs. I find this true also but we use a 4wheeler and just drive around the ponds. Usually we get 80 or more frogs a night. Any one up to the hunt?

RE: Frog gigging?
If you're not eaten 'em , try this on for size...
near where I grew up there was an old livestock pond. Too shallow for fish. We'd go and shot clay pigeons off of the hill nearby.
Sometimes, we would go and walk along shore, we'd shoot them with our shotguns.
Probably should use steel shot, but if you shoot just under them you can take two shots... One when they're just sitting their, and one when they're about 15 feet in the air.

RE: Frog gigging?
i like gigging frogs and fish gigging
but another way to get those frogs is in day time scare them in the pond and when there heads pop up us a rod and reel with a top water lure and move it close to them they will jump it and it is all yours
