How do you play frog croaking?
These croaking frogs are musical instruments that mimic the same croak a frog would make, built with Monkey Pod wood which helps produce this refine sound.

Can you eat croaker?
Eating croaker is a hands on experience. Because of their small size, they are most often cooked whole. The meat has delicate flakes and a moderate, briny flavor. It is a bony fish – so not the best for first dates.
What is the difference between a whiting and a croaker?
Croakers and whiting are different…but sorta look similar. Caught on the same baits, croaker will usually take cut bait more often, though I’ve caught my biggest whiting on cut mullet. Croaker, especially the smaller ones, have hard and sharp gills they flare when you grab ’em.
Why do frogs make noise at night?
Male frogs want to make sure they attract females of their own species (otherwise it’s a waste of their effort!), so each frog species in an area has a different sounding call. Most frog species are nocturnal and are therefore more active, and vocal, after dusk. So night time is the best time to hear frogs calling.
