[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2776398, member: 5412"] Love me some frog legs. Nobody does it anymore to speak of. Find a public municipal lake or stream, use a boat with oars or trolling motor and a good spotlight with a spot in the beam. The intensity of the spot is what will keep the frog from moving. Find some weed beds back in coves or under tree stumps etc. slip up on the set of eyes and gig em. You can scan the cove with a spotlight at night and see the eyes shining. Take the bigguns, and leave the little ones for another season. If you want to frog hunt in the daytime, you will have to use a .22 pistol or rifle(with a hunting license) and use binoculars to look in shady areas, or under cut banks, grass overhangs, etc. With the naked eye you can't see them, but the binoculars bring them out like a spotlight in the daylight. An OSA member (Viking) and I did the daytime thing a couple of years ago on farm ponds. Pics are on the forum somewhere. I'll try to look for them tomorrow. If you want to really get serious, find a creek that is on public land, get your spotlight, gig and gunny sack. Walk down the middle of the creek starting around 11pm, spotlighting as you go. Expect just about every critter in that creek to brush your legs or torso because your light will attract bugs, and bugs are food for creek critters. Walk along and gig your frogs. Its pretty fun and the eating afterward is the reward. [/QUOTE]
