Hot weather eyes, where do you search? I've tried deep,nights,weeds, fast trollin'.....I'm game for anything.

where are you? did to try trolling slow way up in the water column(few feet below surface) in low light conditions? try that.
find the bait - do you have a ongoing hatch - try another lake - play golf?

Full Moon coming up this weekend should be good mid-day fishing, but not always if things have been really dead for you, But couple that with some wind or a little weather and things could really turn around for you. I would suggest putting out some cranks and just plain fishing hard, work your speed from slow to fast and fast to slow, work all different depths, and keep your eyes on your graph, looking for fish and bait. This can be a very
spotty time of year, great one day, sucks the next. I have always had good luck in shallow when the water temp is 75 or better, your more active fish will show up there with one thing in mind....EAT. If your having a baitfish or crayfish explosion right now that can make things really tough. When I find that I go to a different part of the lake or just a different lake, Still looking for bait, But stay away from the huge masses. There's always a pattern.
Good Luck
Underwater humps that drop off into the deepest h20 in the lake.

If you're fishing Mendota, I usually concentrate trolling the edge of the deep weed edge that is along Picnic Point heading towards Middleton (hope that makes sense).
