My daughters is getting older, almost 16, and I'd like to spend some more time with her before she gets too old. Her favorite food is frog legs as I would buy them locally since she was young and got her liking them early. I'd like to take her frog gigging but not sure where we could really go to do it. Any suggestions on which areas I could try? Not looking for personal honeyholes just want to have some fun with the kid. I need some place that a boat isnt needed. Im in Boynton Beach so the closer to this area the better.

Most wet places have frogs. You can gig em or dangle a fly on a cane pole.
I never liked how they try to push stuff away w their feet when they have a hook in em.

Take a cane pole with a little piece of red cloth/yarn, or fly hooked on it to LOXNWR on their nature walk early in the morning. You probably won't catch many because being on foot greatly limits you. At least it's in Boynton.
Frogging in FL is best done from an airboat, but zipping around at night through the swamp isn't for everyone either. It is however, the most productive way to get them.

A friend who lived out in the country near Dade City lived on a 75 acre lake. He had an airboat which we used for frog gigging, until the engine broke. We would fill 2 50 qt igloos in about an hour, leave at 9:00., back by 10:00 about once a month. One day he told me to come an hour early (just before dusk) and bring a fly rod. I had to place the fly within 2" of the frogs face to get it to eat. He was having a hard time controlling the boat at a slow enough speed for me top make an accurate cast so we put a trolling motor on. Mistake! The frogs would feel the vibration of the prop in the water and go under before we got close enough. Could get closer with the loud airboat engine than with the trolling motor. Learned a lot about trolling motors and vibration that nite and now use my push pole more than the trolling motor I don't know here you could do it from shore
