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.

One of the best things to do post Ice out is to find the new fresh grass, or left over alive grass from The call and slowly rip a trap (anything in craw pattern) steady retrieve or yoyo can work on any given Day

Was targeting points and spawn staging areas with the jackhammer to cover water and have an amazing day! Caught 15 fish in less than 20 minutes, all would've been weighing fish if it were a tournament! Great day on Honeoye!!!

One of the best crank bait bites I’ve ever had. Absolutely choked it! Unfortunately it was the only bite of the day, aside from a hammer handle pickerel

It's been my experience that the bass in this lake really hone in on bluegill & crappie imitations. As the water temps starts hitting the 50s, don't be afraid to run lipless baits & squarebills over flats as those early weeds start emerging. Windy conditions are ideal for this kind of presentation.
