speed up or slow down. Possibly stay the same speed. change from bandits to faster vibrating or wider wobbling baits. Let out more line or possibly crank in some. might be missing the early bite so get there early. Don't leave and miss the late bite. push a couple of poles or use planer boards to get away from the boat. Try new colors or stick with proven ones like awesome pink. That's about all the help I can give since I have been having a hard time too.
Spider rig em
Power Troll em.
They were not hitting cranks for me the other day at 1.6....or 1.8. I kicked the speed up to 2.2 and started catching
Try dynamite

You guys have no idea how lucky you are to have lakes that thermocline in the summer. Here on KY and Barkley we have so much current that we end up having to play dodgeball with the ledges and all the structure we put out there for spider rigging and longlining. Dodgeball on ledges with cranks gets expensive.
