5 Overlooked Summer Frog Fishing Targets

It’s no secret that topwater frogs are incredibly productive in warm weather, but Elite Series pro Dean Rojas urges anglers to broaden their horizons when it comes to finding optimal areas.

The effectiveness of summer topwater frog fishing is well documented; these lures’ ability to reach and catch heavy-cover bass is undeniable. When most bass anglers think of frog fishing, however, rather stereotypical visions of lilly pad fields and thick vegetation flood our minds. The two go together like, as Forrest Gump would say, peas and carrots.

But there’s much more to a solid frog bite than grass, according to Elite Series pro and frog fishing legend Dean Rojas. He believes that by targeting lesser-known frogging targets, you’ll have an opportunity to catch some huge limits of bass this summer.

Here’s his challenge to you: The next time you go to the lake, bring only a frog rod and ditch the grass. Instead, target these areas and your eyes will quickly be opened to the versatility of these special bass fishing lures.
