Bassin' with the topwater frogs 9-3

I got out in my float tube for a bit of bass action. got some on a spro bronzeye frog, and some on a ribbit buzzing frog around pads and coontail mix. I tried the usual pattern of pitching a jig and pig at the floating cattail bogs with no success. it appears the water has gone down quite a bit in the dry month of August, and it was now not deep enough to hold bass.
