When I fish honeyoe in the summer I have been extremely successful with 2 techniques. When I arrive there and launch my kayak in the early morning I go right for a topwater frog and start throwing it around docks and other types of cover. I am usually very successful with this. As the morning topwater bite dies down I go out to 9-12 feet of water over heavy submerged weed beads and i throw ned rigs down in the weeds and the bass just hammer them.

Went into the day expecting to powerfish (frogs, blade baits, etc). Caught one fish on a blade. Everything else was on a dropshot. 3/16 oz weight, 14” leader. Gamakatsu G-Finesse hook. Roboworm and a Yamamoto shad shape worm in GP turned the trick. On a day when several participants failed to get a limit, I was able 2 cull up twice significantly on a lake that yields a lot of cookie-cutter fish. No photos because it was a pre-season paper tournament. One more cull would’ve meant a win, but I settled for 4th out of 17. Good kickoff to the tourney season.
