    Frog fishing.  What the heck is that?   :scratch:   I am not talking about using a frog as bait but actually using bait, line and rod to catch a frog.   I have seen froggin videos on youtube but not the easy way.  If anyone wants to shoot a  cool video that as far as I know has not been done before here is your chance.  This is a little secret I learned when I was about 8 years old.  I used to catch frogs for fishing by trying to grab them or thumping them on the head with a stick.  The problem was a lot of the stick thumped frogs never recovered.  Trying to catch them even with my cat like reflexes proved to be less effective than the secret way.   Here is the secret.  It works.

                              Take a small #8 or #10 hook

                              Tie it on to a stick with some light mono(For this you don't need Flouro.)

                              Place a tiny piece of RED CLOTH on the hook.

                              Dangle it a few inches in front of the frog.(Any kind of frog)

                              They can not resist it.    Seems silly but it works.  Im getting older.  I did not want to take this one to the grave. ;D ;D ;D
