TechniqueFrogs/ToadsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationLet the frog sit until the ripples went away and twitched it fast in short bursts to get strikes. Pause for a second before setting the hook and you're golden. And don't forget a rope if you're solo launching a boat, lol.

TechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSummerStructureRock PileThere are a lot of rocky areas in this lake. Look for these areas near points in 8-12 feet of water. The water temp was around 80 degrees and water clarity was poor. Slowly dragging a drop shot worked best on these rock piles. A swim jig picked up a few more bass in the shallow weedy flats (3-6ft deep).

Grabbed a few frogs and launched threw them out.. However the Kaera frog was the ticket.. its small profile was perfect!! Caught a limit quick!

TechniqueFrogs/ToadsSeasonSummerStructureLily PadsScaled along the shoreline hitting lilypads with the Kuro Frog. It seems as any dark-colored frog will do as a friend of mine was using a brown belly pad crashing frog. We went further north towards hiway 20 and then trolled along the shore towards hiway 9 striking many 2lber - 3lber and getting a nice 4lber under a dock.

TechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonSummerStructureDocksFlipping underneath boat motors and next to dock posts, hop the bait of the bottom so it rips through the weeds, half the time the fish would take the bait on the down fall and you could see your line run. Docks with steeper drop offs worked best with medium weed cover.
