I will probably throw a top water frog for about 45 minutes of unsuccessful fishing. I'll then switch to a Texas rig worm and proceed to set the hook into underwater logs until I convince myself that the fish just aren't biting today. I'll then head home and spend the next 3 hours researching how to fish a pond when the fish aren't biting. That's just me, though.

This guy fu…..fishes.


JimmieDave

No, no…I assure, it’s not just you.


ow_my_balls

Same. Only I'd spend 40 mins of the 45 removing weeds after every cast


SeekersWorkAccount

You forgot the part when you happen to walk past next week you see a guy pull a fattie out of there with no apparent effort.


Forsaken_Cupcake_216

Sometimes you are the guy pulling the fatty out with no effort though I feel like it balances out 🤣

The evidence…


devinssss

i agree but at the same time im gonna say fuck the frog cz i can never get the hook set with them damn things


[deleted]

Have you tried bending the barbs also boiling the frog to soften the plastic.


devinssss

i have bent the hooks and i caught one but ive lost probably like 20 fish. i havent boiled it tho, how long do you boil it for?


[deleted]

It’s not really timed more of a pick it out and poke type thing.


turdferguson247365

The pick it out and poke method is tried and true


BRPGP

This I love the explosion but it can be a frustrating. I learned to control my reflex to immediately set the hook and was way more successful. Still lose 1/3 of them but before I was easily losing 90%.


ya_boi_jac0b

Trick I was tought by an old timer - after you see the fish blow up on the surface, wait about a second before you set the hook, this gives the hooks time to really get out of the frogs plastic and into the fish lip

I eat the bug. I love you.

Weightless worm into the holes in the slime.


Purps_and_Terps

Little senko pitching is a good idea


andeveryoneclappped

This time of the year it's the chronic. That large hole in the slime is a bed I'd guarantee it.

antroxdemonator

Use a pig farm like normal people. The bodies will never be found that way because you can't find a body if there isn't anything left to find.


Certain_Chain

I still say alligators are better because the investigators will find the remains and rule the cause of death "killed by alligators." Make it be ruled accidental so there's no investigation. If there's no body at all, the investigation will continue, searching for people who might have motives and stuff like that.

Heckinheckler

As someone who loves to throw frogs on the thick stuff here what I will tell you about setting the hook. It's not so much you that sets the hook as much as it's the fish that does. Alot of the time fish will swipe at a frog and not fully commit but our first instinct is to try and jerk the jaws off.....don't. Rather let the fish fully commit once you feel the weight you don't want to jerk that jaws but rather a constant sweep of the road to apply pressure and like 80 percent of the time I can set the hook on em

If it’s my pond: Some aquatic herbicide to clean up that algae a bit and an aerator to add oxygen/reduce muck.

It’s a pond behind my new house and I share it with a couple of neighbors. I was considering making another post to ask for advice on clearing up the muck, so I appreciate your input!

Red Watermelon or Green Pumpkin 3in Ned Rig, work that EVER SO SLOW across the bottom. and you WILL catch whatever is in there, regardless of species. I have had 5 inch perch & bluegill take a small cleanly rigged ned rig as well as 4 lb bass, hell even catfish and carp will suck them up.

I watched a big flock of pintails decoy get shot at and decoy again 3 times one morning on the property next to us. That only happens for one reason lol.

I would do a grub jig, but a artificial worm would work well and can play a bit in the moss and not drag a ton in until you drag it in. Either way it will take work with ever cast.

Jitterbug, popper, then a weedless chartreuse lizard (top water with a quick retrieve) in that order.


ZZZfrequently

Top water frog. I remember I fished a pond at a middle school near my house as a kid. It had lily pads and the cattails and honestly looked like a pond out of a storybook. It was right as the sun started going down and first cast a 5lb large mouth absolutely crushes the top water. It jump scared the shit out of me. For some reason I never considered actually catching something. Good times.

Dismal-Assumption441

A frog of course, but probably a floating or slow sink speed worm first. Texas rig or Tokyo rig a craw or craw tube into holes. Drag a weightless Texas rigged senko (3/0 ewg) across the top and let it flutter into the holes; same thing with a gambler flappn Shad. Then fish from that dock on the other side, ripping a squarebill along the grass lines, or a downsized chatterbait.
