Locate bullfrogs to catch or buy in San Diego

Otay lake, the place is covered with them. The area is over populated so it would be a good place to remove bullfrogs from. one day in late summer i caught over 30 in just two hours. If you want we can meet up some time and i can take you to my hunting ground. Also remember the longer they stay tadpoles the bigger your frogs will be when they morph, and more resilient to disease and predators they will be.

Are bullfrogs not an introduced species in California working to take out or otherwise damage the native amphibian populations? If that's the case, they might frown upon catching and releasing to a new location. I thought there was a problem a few years back with 'Frog-Jumping" competitions at fairs, with the major concern being the animals would be released in new locations.

That is a good question. Bullfrogs actually are said to have migrated on there own to the areas after a long period of time and for the better part of a few decades have been a danger to local species. I actually got caught catching them by fish and game. I lied and said i was going to eat them and the fish and game officer told me as long as i do not release them anywhere not even the same place i caught them he would have no issue with me having them. in fact he kinda made it sound like me removing them from that lake was a good thing. but releasing them in a private pond would probably be an issue. I think that if you have a way to contain them to your pond via fence that they can not hope through it may be lawful but you will need to do research.

Hi Demon, can you let me know how you caught them? A net or jigging? I found a spot where I can hear hundreds at night but didn't have much success in nabbing them.they are gone during the day.

Use a net it's easier and better for the frog, up here in maine theres a lot of frogs. By the way have u guys seen any blue bullfrogs been looking forever and really want some, so if u guys catch some i'll buy them.
