Froggin Ponds and Pasture Dove Hunting

9/20/2020

0 Comments

 
Cool, sunny morning for fishing frogs. Lizard hooked with 11 and kept a limit! Hunted doves at a new pasture and draw, did not see that many birds but got 2 passing by! Picked a handful of puffball mushrooms with plans to eat on top of some ribeye - Yum!

Early Morning Frogging

9/5/2020

0 Comments

 
This morning's frogging trip was a test against the wind. It took me longer to catch 13+ smaller and legal frogs because of the windy conditions, but I prevailed to hook a limit (8 bullfrogs 4.5" or bigger). I love this time of year as I can do some frogging and scout for doves while in the area at the same time. Hopefully some rain will bring out the fall mushrooms soon.  Doves-frogs-mushrooms and picking some ripe red apples makes for a fun trip out!

Frogging the Farm Ponds & Dove Hunting

9/2/2020

Early and warm morning to go frogging plus no wind! The frogs were aggressive and I found most of them on the face of the dam at this farm pond. It didn't take long to catch 14+ smaller and legal frogs (4.5” nose to vent to be legal) and keep a nice limit (8 hoppers).
Time to hunt doves. Drove back into my dove spot and with some help from the Robo dove decoy and a few surprising lucky passing shots with the .410 peashooter I was able to get some doves to mix in with the frog meal. My small bore shotgun may have a bent barrel, not sure... it did not seem to shoot all that straight today?

Bullfrog Season 2020, Morning Froggin-Continued

Very nice 6.5” hopper hooked up in a local farm pond.
Early cool morning to go frogging - no wind - frogs were not at all spooky! Once I found them in the upper end of the farm pond it didn’t take long to catch 17+ small and legal frogs (4.5” nose to vent) and keep a limit (8 hoppers) for a future meal of beer batter fried frog legs!  Rarity, I caught 2- 6-6.5''  frogs sitting almost side by side along the muddy pond banks.  Rarity, big frogs are territorial and they have their spacing!

Let me know if you want to go bullfrog trip fishing with Steve.

​NOTICE: Cooling off and with some possible rain, time to start looking for those fall mushrooms: Boletes and Elephant Ear mushrooms. A batch of fresh mushrooms and a skillet of battered frog legs would make for a tasty meal.

Wildwood Fishing and Frogging Trip

8/23/2020

0 Comments

 
Long time friend was in Lincoln for the weekend seeing family so we met up with the boat in tow and headed to Wildwood for a few hours of fishing. My friend had not frogged but wanted to try it and learn the tricks to the trade. We put 10 nice hoppers in the bucket in a short time with the light winds and the aggressive bite. The opposite was the fish bite, slow with only a few Bluegill caught, one nice Bass and Yellow Perch. We cut the trip short so Tim could get on the long road back home. Frogging good, catching fish bad!

Hook and Line Pond Hoppers

Yes I asked a bullfrog to snap this photo of me and his croaking buddy!

Nice male bullfrog caught on hook and line.
A little late getting out this morning, the sun was getting higher and the hoppers were moving into cover and shade!  First pond I visited was disappointing, the pond was drying up and I think the frogs migrated to the creek.  Tall terrestrial vegetation covered the entire area around the pond and I found only a few keeper size frogs. Worked hard but I landed 4 of various sizes as they were aggressive, I kept 2 and loaded up and moved to the next pond.  Better luck here with better choices and bigger sizes!  Finished out with a nice limit (8 bullfrogs) of 4.5”-5”+ for a delicacy meal tonight, deep fat fried frog legs-”hmmm good” as they say!

Foggy Morning on the Water - What an Adventure!

8/19/2020

The frogs stuck out like a sore thumb, easy-peasy as they sat along the edge of the lake. Aggressive to the hook and almost addictive this frogging. Wetook turns fishing them but in a short time we had 15-16 “hoppers” caught and a limit (8) in the ice down bucket of the nice 5-6” croakers. Then it was time to fish for Bass, Bluegill and Green Sunfish. We both rigged up a rod with a Satra Special rig on the line with a medium leech. We tossed into 2- 3’ of water near a known drop off dropping to depths of 12’. Instantly, we were catching fish on the ultralights. A dozen 10-14” bass, small Bluegill and Green Sunfish were caught, and lots of fun was had. A good morning for birding, bird photography, catching bullfrogs and fish from the boat!
