Bowfishing for Frogs – Bowfrogging TipsToby Smith | Friday, May 29, 2015 Bowfishing is becoming increasingly popular but if you’re looking for something a little different, try bowfrogging. Bowfrogging is simply shooting frogs with bowfishing equipment. Gigging for frogs is a tradition in many areas, especially in the South. Bowfrogging is a different challenge in itself. Some may say it’s easier because you’re not catching the frog by hand. But shooting a frog with bowfishing equipment takes some practice.
Before you go check your state regulations. Some states require a hunting license to bowfrog. When it comes to equipment, some people like to go with a recurve because they allow for very quick shooting. However, with frogs we’ve found they are more than willing to stay put for a shot. So we prefer a compound such as a Cajun Sucker Punch or PSE Discovery. Bottle reels are perfect for fast bowfrogging action. When it comes to points everyone has their own opinion but we’ve usedMuzzy Carp Point with a lot of success. Bowfrogging is a ton of fun and can lead to some great eating. It’s a way to bowfish in a different way than everyone else. Get away from the crowds and try bowfrogging today. |
