Understanding Frogs as Bass Forage
  • Habitat: Bass require moisture to survive as they absorb water through their skin and live in aquatic and swampy areas. 
  • Water Temperature Considerations: Water temperature between 15°C and 20°C is the best temperature for tadpole development.
  • Behavior: Frogs are social creatures and live in groups called armies, colonies, or knots. Similar to fish, young frogs will swim together in schools. They eat insects, spiders, worms, and slugs.
  • Locations: Everywhere there is bass fishing.
