Camera/phone mount for boat
I just take timer selfies fish in one hand phone in the other. And i always have my phone in the same place at the ready so i don't have to fumble around for it. That being said I'm sure they make suction cup phone holders for cars you could mount in your boat

Having issues with Spro popping frog.
As others said braid and trim the legs only thing I would add is that it might not be anything you can do. I 've been getting alot of strikes on buzzbaits lately and have lost a few on headshakes or pulling off in weeds. As for the ones I've boated several were hooked on the underside of the jaw as if they are swatting at it mouth closed in a sort of territorial defense rather than feeding.

Shallow or deep?
Well there isn't really any deep water just shallow and real shallow. But they will get under or next to anything when the sun is high. So I would go where the cover is. One thing I find in small shallow ponds is that there are more bass than quality holding areas/cover so they can be on anything anywhere

Keeping rods and tackle in the car during warm months?
All my stuff stays in my truck from April til november. Except when I need make room for someone which I hate to do.

Shallow or deep?
Shallow murky water mid summer sounds like my dream scenario. For me I like to start shallow and then stay shallow. If the waters 'clean' enough pound it with a buzzbait of its weedy a toad or frog.

Which Lure Scents do you use most ?
Yes they do. As far as the other two given the bowling pin sized baits some are throwing I wouldn't be surprised.

Help with hook sets (heavy applications)
I agree with that gotta hit them quick and if you want some 6/0trokars just say the word and they're yours.

Help with hook sets (heavy applications)
When I was using straight shank for punching my strike to land ratio was at best 50% since I switched to ewg grip pins it's at least 90%.

Does anyone ever “double set” the hook
I do this a lot and i don't recall ever losing one because of this although I have lost fish and said myself 'shoulda drilled em again'.

Fishing during thunderstorms
fishing ahead of a t-storm can be fantastic. Also it's a little easier to keep track of these so when I see or hear them I head for the launch. The storms you have to beware of are the 'pop-up' storms as they can literally come out of nowhere as I once found out.

Pitching with hook that has a screw on pin?
All my texas style rigging is done with mustad ewg grip pin hooks. 4/0 for craws etc. 5/0 for toads 6/0 for punching.

What seems to never work for you...
For me it's lipless cranks for sure.

Frog legs
I always cut my legs and not to catch smaller fish but because I want the bass to focus on the bulk mass/body of the bait not what's flitting around behind it. I would actually remove them but don't want water to get in the holes.

Best of: Creature Style Baits
I like a cut down craw fatty for a jig trailer and when punching its a double wide beaver only.

Punch skirts?
I do when I use one. Edit: are you referring to the type of skirt or color? I use a standard silicone skirt but not usually in spinnerbait colors.i make my own in craw or black blue.

A few questions about buzzbaits
I love buzzbaits however not a fan of clackers as there is more stuff for grass to get hung on.that being said they are a simple bait in terms of components so its tough make a bad one. As to when to use a clacker would be low light, choppy water, or over the top of deeper grass. Basically anytime you need a little extra for them to zone in on it. And buzzbaits aren't just night lures. Hot summer days these things can get crushed. Just saw your post and realized I should have mentioned im mine always use a trailer hook.

How to fish these conditions...
Was heading in last thurs. I found them hitting a double buzz in dirty water over shallow grass. And they were finding it in a pretty good chop with bright sun.

Your favorite/most reliable baits for pressured lakes.
Most people are probably throwing rinky dink baits or senkos. I would go bigger and / or faster.

Fishing License
This is probably true. Unfortunately for me the epo lives across the street from my favorite pond. He's already checked me twice this year and last year twice in five days.
