FROG FISHING ESSENTIALS
Keith Combs dispels the myth that early morning is always the prime time for topwater fishing. He demonstrates how to make the most of the midday bite when temperatures rise and bluegills are most active, thereby triggering larger bass to feed. His focus on using hollow body frogs proves effective in the grassy habitat. In a sea of grass, Combs focuses his efforts on areas with a mix of vegetation and deeper channels where big bass retreat post-spawn.This video is a comprehensive guide to understanding fish habits and habitat, particularly their post-spawn environment.
TACKLE TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
Attention to gear is crucial for successful frog fishing. Combs recommends a 200-size casting reel. The bigger spool is needed so you can maintain an adequate amount of 50- to 60-pound braid on a long cast. His tool of choice is a Shimano Curado but with a lower gear ratio around 6.2:1. He still maintains decent line pickup with the bigger spool, but has more winching power with the 6.2:1 for getting the fish up and out of the cover. A beefy rod is a must for solid hooksetss and horsing fish clear of the thick stuff.
REAL-TIME ACTION AND TAKEAWAYS
Watch as Combs navigates through various fishing spots, making strategic casts into pockets and along vegetated edges where bass are likely to strike. The excitement peaks as he lands several impressive bass, demonstrating the lure's effectiveness and his angling skills. This video not only showcases the thrill of frog fishing but also provides valuable lessons on adapting techniques based on fish behavior and environmental conditions.

Been the hottest bait in Florida this year from Okeechobee to Palatka post spawn

All the lake guys say the frog is good. But as somebody who’s a pond guy I usually always go right before dark. And I’ve gotten a few bites but haven’t hooked up. And had a good day.

Love seeing Keith talk about some baits other than plugs. Good stuff!
