Charleston Frog Snatching Trips

Join us for a truly authentic Lowcountry experience snatching frogs at night on our local rivers & creeks.

These trips are an action-packed, hands-on experience with short run times and lots of snatching. It’ll take you a little while to get warmed up to it but once it’s on, it’s on. We’re running spot to spot, looking for holes in the grass, and snatching up frogs left and right. These trips are great for folks of all experience levels.

Where We Go

We're Headed To The River

We’re meeting at the Cypress Gardens Boat Ramp on the Cooper River, 30 minutes after sunset—heading out right when it gets dark. There are always frogs but typically full moons and trips after a good rain yield the highest quantities of bullfrogs.

We don’t have to go far to get on the frogs, running 10-15 minutes upriver and downriver from the boat launch. We might cover a mile of river in total but there are so many frogs within that mile it’ll be all we need.

What's Included

Our experienced captains deliver expert guidance and outstanding service from start to finish, ensuring a memorable day of frog snatching on the river. We provide everything you need for a successful and enjoyable evening of Charleston frog snatching. The boats are clean and ready to go, the lights are inspected, and the cooler is loaded with ice—ready for your food, snacks, and beverages. There may be bugs but we always have bug spray covered.
