Senko in any dark color and a Zoom lizard black blue tail.

Toads and frogs!

If it open water sunny day I try to fish dd22 and c-rigs

If it covers i fish senkos and trickworms weightless.

The best lure to use on a sunny day would depend on the water depth you're fishing, which I find very similar to a cloudy day.

When predatory fish are actively feeding, they generally prefer water in the "twilight" zone (neither too bright nor too dark).

During high noon on a hot sunny day, bass have a choice between two sources of "twilight" (half-light):

1. Sink to a depth that filters enough sunlight to create a half-light zone (In this way they may create dusk-like lighting at high noon).

As nifty as that might sound, if adequate depth isn't IMMEDIATELY available, I believe that bass are more inclined to use Option 2

2. Remain at the same depth but move tight to cover (lily pads, stumps, bulrushes, under docks, etc).

The wedge of shade cast by an object produces a satisfactory twilight zone for bass of all sizes.

Although most Florida trophies are taken during the prespawn, some of the best bass are taken during hot sunny midsummer days.

What's more, they're usually taken around midday from shallow water between 1 and 5 ft deep.

Why so shallow? Because most of Florida's lakes are natural, and that's where the cover and shade is typically most abundant.

(In an impoundment, bass might be found in 15-foot of water alongside standing timber, but only in a reservoir situation.)

As long as adequate dissolved oxygen is present (5 ppm+), bass are as happy as clams in 90-degree water.

Before Hurricane Charley the bass in my home lake were found "year-round" in 8.5 feet of water (the depth of best weed growth).

The hurricanes tore out the hydrilla beds and now those same bass are scattered in shoreline cover from 1- 5 ft deep, "year-round".

i like to throw a rattle trap in siny shad colors

fantastic info guys, glad I made the post.  Been doing very well with senkos in 10-12 feet of water.  Our ponds have lots of vegetation so spinners are tough.  Been using frogs and toads with a little sucess too.  I'm leaving now to go find some water thats a little deeper and with less weeds so I can throw out a spinner bait. We'll see how that works.
