LOZ Trolling question

Was down the week of July 23 - 29 and did well trolling for Crappie (and whatever else would bite) in 90+ degree water and hot conditions. Was back Aug 11 - 15 and the water had cooled some 10 degrees, and much cooler air temps. Trolled same water and struggled to put crappie in the boat. Caught a few, but nothing like when it was steaming hot. Did others experience the same things? and wondering what adjustments you may have made to find fish?

For additional context, or house is on the Little Niangua, so most of my fishing is done on the Big Niangua from about the 3 - 8 MM and on the Little Niangua.

Appreciate the help, guys!

Sometimes it takes them a few days to acclimate to a temp drop. They will get lock jaw for a little while but will eventually start feeding again.

We will be staying at Kon Tiki resort Labor day weekend. We will be in a old blue and white Ranger with a regular sit down seat on the front pedestal. If you see us stop by and say hi.

Will do! I have a gray 16' Tracker Targa deep V....you do the same.
