Nope, doesn't work.
You wanna see something funny, try a middle aged chubby lady running around an 80' pond hollering at the croakers. You'd need dry pants! I currently have a fresh hatching of polywogs.

Hi Kate:
I understand that fish will eat green and bull frog eggs. If you don't already have fish adding some might help. Heather "SVTKate" wrote in message nk.net... Nope, doesn't work.

When using live bait, collect it at the spot where you fishing. Observe what the frog catch for food, use it as bait and have some frog fishing. Frog just eat those thing that is moving, so as long as you make the bait moving infront of the frog, the bait can be dead bait. Some frog are nice to taste. :-) Regards, Wong -- Latitude: 06.10N Longitude: 102.17E Altitude: 5m |

Hi Wong, LOL.... I don't want to eat them. I want to catch a few and give them to a friend for his pond (and to make mine less noisy). Thanks for the suggestion on how to catch them.

I did say as a last resort and if you crush down or remove the barb
from the hook it does very little damage. (I know, I know. How would I like a hook in my lip. Well I don't eat anything that will fit in my mouth..... not since Atkins anyway.) All kidding aside ... that is how we used to catch bullfrogs when we were kids for those in our families that ate them. Here in New Jersey we used to get some big ones ......... probably something to do with "Super Fund Sites" or what or who is buried in our marsh-lands. As for the hawks. I have only seen the Sharpshined once, but the Cooper frequents the tree near my bird feeders and tries to pick off a meal now and then. "Bennies" are what we affectionately call tourists in this part of the Jersey shore. Further south they are called "Shoo-bees" (the sound made when they encounter their first GREENHEAD fly attack) or "Webs" (week end bas ......... well, illegitimate children) Back to the frogs ......... I am not really that bad a person but you have to remember I was raised with the Sopranos and will never tell which goal post Jimmy Hoffa is buried under. -- some photos of my little puddle http://community.webshots.com/user/hankpage1 "Mary kate" wrote in message ...

Frog can demand a high price here. g Thanks for the suggestion on how to catch them. You are welcome. :-) To tell the true, I do read a lot, but try little on what I read. I has never do frog fishing before, but will do it in future when I'm free. For this frog fishing, should be quite reliable, because I read it a few times from difference sources.

nswong, Be careful what you catch. If my memory serves me right,
some frogs from Cambodia and Malaysia are very toxic. -- some photos of my little puddle http://community.webshots.com/user/hankpage1 "nswong" wrote in message ... "Jim" wrote in message ... LOL....
