The other guys pretty much hit it on the head, as usuall, but theres a few things to think about next time you want to fish a frog. Nothing special at all, but first off, if you are fishing on thick mats, or even making a long cast into a shallow cut, you can fill your frog with water to make it much heavier. This will displace the grass alot more and you can cast it a country mile, instead of a regular mile:).

And another deadly technique for the frog, especially at smaller ponds with tulies, is to actually flip the frog in the tulies from the bank. You can actually sometimes get your feet wet when they blowup 2 feet from your feet. Just hold your rod out over the tulies and drop the frog down, a couple twitches and its on, or make another flip. I railed them at Laguna Niguel the other night doing this.

Definately an early morning and late evening thing at the smaller lakes and ponds. At Laguna Niguel the othre night, we only had like 2 bites from 5:30-7, and then between 7 and 7:30, we put 4 fish in the boat and missed 6 more. Then we brought the boat back in and walked the shore a bit. FUN STUFF, cant get much better then getting bit on the frog.
