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.

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.
