Jokes/boobs aside....

It's a deep clean lake. Bullfrog has a lot of structure to fish. Think natural color, light line presentations in open water. Dropshot, spider jigs, and weightless stickbaits (yamamoto senkos) always worked well for me.

On deep water like that, A-Rigs also do really well. Just remember AZ is a two-hook-max state (Bullfrog is in Utah, but I dont remember what their hook/lure regs are. I always just stuck to AZ friendly regs just in case.)

September can be an awesome time to bass fish. Post spawn, pre-winter they should be feeding heavy. Pay attention to the first few fish you catch....if they have teeth, stick to shad/baitfish patterns. If they are toothless, throw crawfish imitations and hold on...

The dock area is loaded with monster bass (no fishing). I always manage to cast a line out in the late evening or when leaving I cast out - big, big, fish!

If you are on the open water with a graph, find the schools of stripers and drop anchovies and shiny artificial baits like spoons, kastmasters, and krocodiles. Fish it just like you would open water in the ocean.

If you want to go out at night, get a light rig and chum them up...
