You are in for a treat. Ever eaten frog legs from the wilds (not commercial raised)?

I would think the ponds at any golf course would be loaded. your best bet might be the state run courses as far as gaining access.

"All waters of the state are open to bullfrog hunting except waters within state and federal wildlife refuges. The season is open year-round, except on TWRA managed lakes the season is June 1-30. The bag limit is 20 per person, per night. The use of firearms is prohibited for bullfrog hunting on Wildlife Management Areas and TWRA lakes. Pellet guns (air rifles) are not firearms. Only domestically raised bullfrogs or parts thereof may be sold. A hunting license is required to take bullfrogs. No WMA permit is required."

It will be interesting to see how you do.

I have never gigged for them before. Caught them on a fly rod though.

LOL..!

I figured you did but just in case you didn't wanted to make sure you got legal. Would have hated to hear they ticketed you for taking 22 bullfrogs after the fact when you could have just caught 360 white bass instead.

There is no part of frog-gigging that interests me. The same neighborhood you find frogs, is the same neighborhood you find cottonmouths. No Thanks.

MN Fisher,

I have gigs, and I have a spot that may have potential. You cannot walk around the lake/pond so it's kayak only accessible.
