how many of you are interested in going back to Lake Ovid for the frogs only thing this year? i'm going to need some dates first, so check your fishing calander. Mojo and I will host and by host i mean we will set this up like years past, show up late and ask who can bring the scale etc needed for weigh in. I'll have to look up the old posts for money, rules etc.
What's a frog? ??? Can I drop shot it??
Might be interested. Be watching for updates. Is Ovid a good frog lake. I remember someone caught a big fish last time you were there. Kent is fun later in the summer.
Might have to carpool, but I'd be interested.
Be watching for updates

Bobber? Oh!!! You mean a float. Gotcha. ;)
ok how about Kent lake, a dawn till noon $20 each fisherman, pot luck bring some stuff to eat/soft drinks (red cups) cookout type thing?
now your talking. Huge lake with tons of Frog Water. Count me in as long as there are no schedule conflicts.
I might even be up for that, with no schedule conflicts.
Not bringing my boat, but I'm in. F Kent Lake.
I will tow you around with your motor up.
I'm in
Well, Dartag what is the best time of the year to go frogging on kent?
Late August or early September. They cut weeds all summer and there are lots of mats near shore. Plus the pads get real thick by then. Maybe August 29 or 30th. The next weekend is Labor day. The East launch is mid lake with easy access both directions.
Just have to watch for " Rick " island to the west...
i think this will be a BB4B event as well safe light til noon. last weekend in Aug sounds good, if it dont rain
I'm in if no conflict

I'm in - don't think I've every thrown a frog at Kent but I know where I would!

just show up. It looks like Saturday the 29th I'll be posting more info. Closer to the date
Yep I found it.. I'm in!
Just rigged my frog rods for tonight and was thinking about this event. Sunday August 30th from 7:00 to 12:00. Sounds good to me. Maybe do a 10.00 entry fee with 5.00 a boat going to BB4B. Just want to make it a fun event.
Does not look like there are any tournaments that weekend that I can see.

I'm in if schedules align. I fished frogs at Kent last week from my Kayak. Did OK - 4 landed, lots of strikes. Nothing large. Lot's of pads on the shallow west side. Should only get better.
My calendar says Aug 29th is a Sat???????????
whoops the 29th is a Saturday, dartag is retired so the his calendar might be a bit off these days, as one fishing day after another after another can get very stressful, hahaha
Yep The days just run together anymore. Sunday the 30th sound better.
I fixed it. Hope Sunday is ok with everyone.

The 30th is the final day of Bassmaster Elite Series on St. Clair just in case anyone planned on attending. Even then, if you finish the tournament at 12:00PM, you'll still have until 3:00PM to get there for the weigh in. Sounds like a good day. Frog tourney in the morning, elite weigh-in in the afternoon.

Does that mean a $25 entry fee?
I want to keep it at 10.00 so it is about fun. 5.00 to B and the other to big bass of the day. You only weigh 1 fish. If you get 2 family members fishing 50.00 is a little steep for a fun event.
Is it $10 per PERSON, or $10 per TEAM?
I should be at the Bassmaster event so I'm not sure I can fish this though Derek has shown interest so we might fish it...
In the BB4B events everyone pays an entry fee and weighs 1 fish. Big fish wins the pot. For this event it is Frogs Only. So it would be 10.00 per person. The main idea is to fish, have fun and raise some money for a someone who needs it.
Sooo I'm a co angler, and love fishing with like 5 of you...... So I guess I'll go with whoever claims me and doesn't mind getting thwapped in the dome with a frog at least once accidentally :o
If it's on Kent, I'll be a non-boater too :P

Maybe we could have a drawing or raffle to raise money for who gets to fish with Mojo??

Just bought 2 Frogs. I am ready.

Doesn't count if you're dropshotting them, right Mojo?
They have to be on top, don't they?
so long as the bait is a soft frog bait designed and used to mimic a frog action. Take those fair words and go from there.
I thought it was top water frogs. Lets not make this " Complicated ".
Does it have to be a frog. Can Rats count too.

Frogs.
Since BOBO started this I will let him decide the rules. I don't want to hijack it.
My .02 is keep it simple. The tournament scene this summer has been interesting with lots of Drama. If this gets to complicated I am out of there.
What if one leg is torn off... is it still a legal frog??
How about Horny Toads? They call them toads but they look just like a frog to me?!?
;D
If you aren't sure it's a frog show it to bob o and he will tell you if it is a frog.
I remember the last time we did this and Frank had at least 4 different lures that were frog-like, but not frogs.
Also, it's going to rain. It always rains.
ahhh, oh yea it the whats a frog again, no frog crankbaits, buzzbaits, spooks, spinnerbaits. this is for hollow and solid soft body two leg baits only. if you have an old wooden top water frog from gramps tackle box use it.
yes you can weight them down, fill them with water insert big huge hooks, texas rig, drop shot rig, A-rig. any color you want.
please feel free to post a pic of what you want to use and we will give it a thumbs up or down.
you should already have more that two frogs in your tackle box ::)
As my mentor used to tell me. KSS I am sure most of you know what this means.
Just to clarify - this is what a frog looks like:

Chillin Frog Tournament

It's August already. Who is in
Me and Derek should be there.
I am in if my schedule allows.
Had to go searching through the thread to remember which day and time we decided on. I'll be there and looking for an open back seat.
Hmm same day as my company picnic so I'll probably be leaving right after the weigh-in. Long day.
Ok, I just want to be clear. Sunday, August 30. Dawn till noon. 10.00 per person plus 5.00 for big bass. One fish wieghed per boat.
Assuming this is correct, I'll be their.
17' Tracker TX 17
Date and time are correct.
10.00 per person total.
Each person can weigh 1 bass.
Big bass of the day takes all.
If you have a question if your Frog Bait is legal, bring it and have Bob look at it.
5.00 Goes to BB4B
5.00 Goes to the winner.
Probably go to some local establishment for lunch afterward.
I'm in with my son, Jason
I'm in as a non boater if there's room!
I'm in as a boater
Just saw there is a CFB event on Kent August 30. Maybe we should switch to Saturday the 29th.
Or do we just leave it that date since we will be frogging and most guys will be fishing the main lake.
Might get kind of busy with CFB out there?
29th would work better for me...
Due to CFB fishing Kent on Sunday we are moving the date to Saturday the 29th. Hope everyone can make it.
