[catfish hunter]

decided to give them fluke a break and hit the sweet water a bit ,my buddy kenny and I headed out to the swamp on the 4th for a night of giggin frogs ,we hit a swamp that is just infested w/ them and had a great night ,we fell just short of a 2 man limmit and ended the night w/ 27 frogs .It was great getting back in the swamps again I have not been back in one in about a year or so

 tried them once at the china buffet,,,, kinda like fishy chicken

swamps are not for many expecialy at night but there is somethings everyone should see just once ,it is something when the tree frogs are just over your head or when a coon is hanging from a limb eating.for the most part you cant see much so you have to use your ears and feel the bottom w/ your feet so you dont go for a swim ,the bugs get you but it goes w/ the game only thing that truely creeps me out are the spiders.

A good place is the Milstone in Princeton were the Milstone, D& R Canal and Carnegie lake are all together. Need a jon boat of canoe but the place is loaded with frogs.

 im sorry, but after 3years in georgia at ft stewart,,,,, i think i've had enough of swamps in the middle of the night. although you allow flashlights. kinda makes it different.

we almost went down there but I scouted this spot out last week ,I plan on hitting that spot before summers end ,I used to hit it a couple times a season but now frogs seem hard to come by so I only hit a spot 1-2 times a season

I hear ya ,but eating legs in a china buffett isnt the same as home cooked

A man is sitting in a fancy restaurant looking over the dinner menu.  He turns to the waiter and asks, "Do you have frog's legs?"

The waiter replies, "But of course, sir"

The man says, "Well then, hop into the kitchen and get me a turkey sandwich!"

Ba da boom...

I love frogs legs.  When I was a lot younger we went camping up in Long lake in Mich. the fishing was great and one night we were boared and the sound of the frogs was defining so out to the canoes we went with flash lights and by the time we were done the lake was quiet.

It is amazing how the light reflects in their eyes and they just freeze.

Before we left the lake we had a feast for the families on the lake which numbered about 15 or so. We skinned the frogs legs and put them in salted water for a while, breaded them and fried them, along with a Northern Pike which I caught over 32 inches.  And a whole mess of large mouth bass.  I have to say that was a summer to remember.  I had my dad on that trip and what a blast.

Sorry for rambling but the memories just came flooding back.

Happy Catching (whatever)

One thing we caught them by hand, hard but by the time morning came around we all were pretty good at catching them boogers.

Nice report and pics Catfish! It sure brings back some good memories.. When I lived in Jersey, a few of my buddies from Sportsmens Center and I used to go all the time..always a blast..Hot, sweaty, muddy and buggy..but I love it  and they certainly do have some tasty appendages ..None of my buddies up here have any interest in frog-giggin..afraid to get their skirts dirty i guess  I haven't thrown a gig in anger since moving out of NJ... Thanks for bringing it all rushing back!
