Thank you for sharing your opinions! I love frogging, and this has been very helpful to me and hopefully its helpful to others too. I like to hear other peoples opinions on their techniques. The water temp here in Alabama is warming, so I think once the temp hits a solid 55 degrees all around I'm going to get out my frogs. I like all of Snagproof's frogs but Ish's Phat Frog is probably my favorite, Bobby's perfect buzz has pretty much replaced my buzzbaits, I stick with black and white on thick grass mats and natural colors around scattered grass and open water. My favorite follow-up bait is a Gambler Ace and Fat Ace sometimes at Guntersville I will pull out the O-Beast. I feel like almost any natural color would work for a follow-up bait. If i'm fishing scattered water willows or similar grass I will put a trailer hook on my Bobby's Buzz and bend the hooks on my frogs out some, to give me a better hook up ratio but since I am throwing in light vegetation I don't hang up much. I have never really thrown a soft plastic frog unless I am pond fishing, I think I am going to try Gambler's cane toad to see how I like it. If I can get the fish to bit topwater that's what I am going to throw it is some of the most fun and productive fishing techniques I have. (other than an A-rig) Again thanks for all the input! I am glad to be here! Trawick Ellis Snagproof--- http://goo.gl/gNPXpv

Hey everyone I like the forum. I am from Cullman, AL but I currently live in Jacksonville, AL and fish Neely Henry Lake on the Coosa river more than any other lake, however my favorite lake to fish is Lake Guntersville. I target Largemouth Bass most often but I love catching some mean spotted bass. My personal best Largemouth is 7lbs 11oz from Lake Guntersville. My best Spot is 4lbs 9oz from Lewis Smith Lake. My strength is power fishing but I also like to fish offshore when the time calls for it. I bass fish, hunt deer, and I saltwater fish. If you have any questions for me please ask them.

Hey this is my first forum post but I have a few questions to hopefully start a discussion on spring froggin. Let's hear your opinion on any or all of these questions! What water temp/month do you start to throw a frog in your part of the country? What is your favorite frog? What colors do you like for each type of cover and water clarity? Does wind effect frog fishing? Do sky conditions play a role in froggin? What speed and types of retrieves do you use for spring frogging? What rod, reel, and line, do you use? Are there any specific types of cover that should be targeted during the spring? Does the size of the frog matter? What are your opinions on Buzz Frogs like the Snagproof Bobby's Perfect Buzz, or a Rage Tail type frog? Opinions on popping frogs? Thanks! Trawick Ellis http://goo.gl/gNPXpv
