It’s that time of year – weather is fit for only mad dogs and Englishmen . . . and frog fishermen!

Oh sure, lots of folks will trot out onto the lake for the first couple of hours each day and try to get in on the topwater bite, but few will still be out there under blazing mid-day sun. That’s too bad because in areas with ample overhead cover, the middle of the day can be the best time to get blown-up topside – if you’re throwing a Snag Proof frog.

Captain Steve Chaconas of National Bass Guide Service says the frog bite has opened-up on the Potomac River. He suggests white frogs under sunny skies, black under darker conditions.

Capt. Steve advises us to make long casts with braided line and to work lily pads which stand tall on the high tide or grass beds that get bunched into thick mats on the low tide.

One guy who knows tons about throwing frogs is Bobby Barrack of Fish Delta TV. The legendary frog-fishing pioneer has a new DVD coming out – “Turning Frogs into Toads”.

“We’re pretty excited!!  A compilation of HUNDREDS of hours of frog fishing come together.  Learn the “How’s” and the “Why’s” even the “WHERE”!!!” shared Barrack. He offers a sneak peak at the NEW, full HD video on his YouTube channel:
