No unique ideas for catching small bass during heat of summer. Catch per hour should increase as water temps decrease into the 70's. However keep in mind that significantly thinning out the small bass will generally allow remaining bass to grow bigger but at the same time the BG will become overall smaller and more numerous. It usually is a trade off. Exceptions can occur, but it takes work and good management. Also by having the average size bass be larger in the pond there will be fewer bass present and bass will not be caught as often. Once again it is a trade off. How big is the pond?
