Great job Nat. Your videos, to me at least, are very much like NDYakAngler's. Great presentation. NO BS music or other annoying distractions. You let us feel like we're there with you. Nothing more needs to be said!! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed being there with me!
you are so right!!
nice comments
@@FishingwithNatbro. Are you ndyak? 😂 gotta be brothers if not
@@reeldrytv Haha nope. He makes good stuff though. 🙂
@@FishingwithNat ahhh ok 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Dude the fact that you showed you can fish a frog on spinning gear is one of the most satisfying and personally validating things I’ve seen in a UA-cam fishing video. Much respect.
You can absolutely fish frogs with spinning gear and have lots of success. I think it's a common misconception that you must use a baitcaster for certain baits.
Great video! I learned a lot about frog fishing and that steady retrieve is actually a very viable option for them. I guess getting my first big frog strike when I was steady retrieving it with the intention of casting to another spot wasn't just pure luck. These longer style videos from you are also quite nice! Sometimes the best way to learn is watching how other anglers fish. Great stuff :)
Thanks. It was a great, short trip out there and fun to share it with everyone.
Honestly, I like these styles of videos of you just going out and fishing while bringing us along for the joy. But, your other tutorials are just as amazing, they've been a great help to me as I try to figure out how to go fishing independently. Thanks man!
Great - I appreciate the feedback!
Great job nat.
Thanks. That was a fun day on the water.
top water fishing is thee most satisfying way to fish
It sure is!
Yesterday I tried top water popper for the first time man was amazing 🤩
Great video! Thanks for sharing and taking us along with you. Thanks for some great information! Keep up the good work! As always, #FishingwithNat rocks!!!
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it!
Good catch mate. Watching from the Philippines.
Cool. Welcome!
That nice one on the 1 legged frog- well done casting back into that area, changing the presentation, and getting a fish that missed the first time. I loved seeing how you managed to still get him on the second time around.
Thanks. That was fun and surprising that he struck again.
Awesome frog fishing man!!!! I have to try that frog,looks awesome
Thanks - yeah it's a cool frog
i cant get a top water strike to save my life lol. gonna keep tryin and your videos have been so helpful in other areas. didn't think straight would work for a frog but i'll definitely try it next time i'm out!
Keep trying - they are tons of fun
Once you get your first it seems like it’s uphill from there
Nice work out there Nate, nothing like a frog bite!
Frog fishing is a blast

Thank you for watching. I appreciate the comment!
I have the same rod and I have the 6’’6 nice rods and that frog is amazing ordered 4more different colors thank you for the video
It's a great rod and a great frog. Thanks for the comment.
Dude amazing stuff!!!!!
Thanks - I appreciate the comment
Could you do a video on the best ways to fish at different times of the day?
That's a broad topic because it depends on so many things (species, water clarity, lures...). For example, on the river near my house, the water is stained dark. Bass and panfish fishing is good in the morning and evening with topwater baits. They go deeper during the day and are better targeted with other baits. You can't really fish them at night at all because the water is so dark to begin with, the fish can't see much of anything. You can catch walleyes or catfish occasionally at night, but everything else pretty much shuts down. Even the walleyes and cats tend to bite better during the day.
Grwat job nat 👍👍👍
Thanks for the feedback
hey nat, so I only do bank fishing for the moment, but would you say kayak fishing is more efficient?
Yes. Bank fishing limits you to easy access points where you have enough room to cast. A kayak opens up a world of possibilities for a low cost.
What reel are you using? I have that same pole and put a Penn Fierce IV 4000 on mine… glad to see frogs are working for you gonna try them here in California, and I’m gonna try em in Minnesota in a few weeks when I go fish there… and when I’m moved to Texas in late October I’m gonna try them there too I’m very excited
That was a size 35 Pflueger President XT.
@@FishingwithNat Awesome thanks
Why 6" leader. I use 5' 35 lb floracrben on 65 brade works like a champ!!
The fluoro leader will sink so it can get caught on plants/duckweed between twitches.
Whats your whater temp and air temperature. Me and my so are learning bass fishing. Me are up in Delaware try to learn new things. Thanks man enjoy your video
This video was shot in mid-July in Wisconsin. Air temps were in the mid-80s and water temps were near 80.
What is your kayak outfit setup? Love the content by the way. New Bass fisherman and new subscriber!
Thanks and welcome. I mostly use an Old Town Sportsman 120 PDL and that's what was used in this video. I made a video about my kayak setup that you can see here ua-cam.com/video/7iNQumNWzdA/v-deo.html
@FishingwithNat thanks I will definitely watch!
Hey Nate, love your channel. I’m getting into fishing later in life and I appreciate your info!
Do you think when using frog lures a fluorocarbon leader is necessary? I haven’t been using it on my 65 lb braid and have been getting no bites. Hoping that is the cause.
Thanks man
If the vegetation is really thick, it probably doesn't matter if you have a leader. But if your frog is in open water, the fish might get a good look at your line and I think a leader can help.
I'd also suggest downsizing your line to increase your casting distance. Sometimes frogs work best when they are far from the shore/boat.
Thanks man I appreciate it! My bait caster sends the lure pretty far so I’ll hang with the 65 for now (I just don’t wanna buy new braid lol) but I will try a fluorocarbon leader. I’m a shore fisher so anything helps!
@@FishingwithNat I bought some fluorocarbon and caught my first bass today. I love you haha
@@Rabidmink77 Awesome - that's great to hear
What a fun video
Thanks. It was a blast out there on the water.
What gloves do you have on, and do you like them? Thanks
Those are the Fish Monkey gloves. I have a pair of those and a pair of Kastking gloves. The Kastking gloves have a shorter wrist and are thinner, so they are cooler in the summer. The Fish Monkey gloves feel very solid like they will last for a long time and through many washes. I wear gloves all the time when fishing out in the sun and both work well for sun protection.
@@FishingwithNat thank you friend..
'He probably won't get hooked again' 😂
And then he showed me!
Like your kayak setup another great video thanks Nat.
Thanks for the comment. I think I've finally got the kayak set up just right for me!
Putting rattlers in the frog thank you so much
Cool - that can help get a fish's attention.
Steady retrieve on frogs, nice, noted!
Particularly with frogs that have prop feet or paddletail feet.
@@FishingwithNat yep noted that as well, looked up some scum frogs for purchasing and I wil give it a try this week / weekend!
Thank you!
@@FishingwithNat lastly, it seems that it works with 1 leg frog as well LOL
@@silenzioklze Cool, good luck!
@@silenzioklze Yep. Keep using it until it's torn to shreds.
What rod specs and reel are you using?
That was my main frogging combo - a medium-heavy Ugly Stik Carbon spinning rod 7' and Pflueger President XT Size 35.
Nice
Thanks
Man I gave up hook and sinker been jogging and frogging I haven't cought anything since the transition...I feel terrible I can't catch anything
Frog fishing can be hit or miss depending on the location/habitat. Check out our Basics of Frog Fishing video for lots of tips on frogging ua-cam.com/video/czTtqyDKDcA/v-deo.html
What line is this?
I was using 4lb Berkley Trilene XL monofilament for the bobber and weightless rig. I moved up to 15lb Sufix 832 braided line with a 15lb fluorocarbon leader for the bottom rig.
