Frogs EEK

Am getting paid to remove frogs and pollywogs from a large deep neglected in ground swim pool. This is more fun than I can even describe. We have nets, guns, traps, gigs and schemes. There is a four year population of frogs, and at least one snapping turtle. The neighbors complain about croaking noise. I am a kid again.

love those types of jobs.... photos?

If you need to sub out that kind of work Phil we arent that far away.

Yes I agree, we need photos. Going out this Thursday.

Yes Robert is all for the fun and easy jobs. Are you available to dangle from the 40's for cheap?

When the heights get that high consistently we bring a lift in.

An electrofisher would make that job go real quick, they are pricy though, I wanna say 5 grand, but maybe half that. You could justify it for this job, and then always outfish your buddies.

I would tell the neighbor that my pool is green and green is the way to live these days .

a what kinda fisher , I need to out fish my buddy's ???

I got on goggle earth and got a picture of Phil working his job . God bless America . Them yuppys can kiss my dog ear http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZmMwP5bELE&sns=em

Frogs, fish, crawfish, salamanders eyes roll back in their head and swim for the probe drawn like a magnet, you grab them with your rubber handled net. Use a net without a rubber handle and your eyes roll back in your head and so forth.

I did a podcast on frog trapping before with Stephen Vantassel alos posted some tips for frog trapping here

That could' be the trick I need , I just don't have the time to keep the freezer stocked with fresh fish . I could just float down the river and get all the fresh walleye my family needs

Pesky, put a rubber mat down for the net man to stand on and tell the DNR that you are an independent biologist hired by the lake fishing club to do fish sampling. You'll be fine.

Down south they would use an old hand crank phone for the electrical current,and it was called Monkey Fishing.


monkeyfishing
n. catching fish by first charging water with an electric current, then netting the stunned or panicked fish. Subjects: English, United States, Florida, Sports & Recreation

Editorial Note: It is possible this term is specific to Florida. This term is apparently unrelated to monkeyfishing described in a hoax perpetrated on the online magazine Slate.

Are they being caught alive and what are you doing with them?

Yes caught alive. My partner is relocating them to his pond.

Excellent, and thanks.

I guess just draining the pool would take all the fun out of it.

Seems to be lots of frogs around and lots of big ones . I've been tagging along with boys a few nights and were getting some dandy frogs . Nothing like wild frogs legs

Am quickly finding out am really ignorant about this problem - zoning commission permit protocol for in ground pool disposal.

Anyone know a college who wants lots of tadpoles and frogs for research?

How goes the frog job . My youngest boy went back out tonight and both boys went the night before and there filling the freezer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk9vMkc63zI&feature=youtube_gdata_player
