Do you guys switch tactics once the water temp reaches above 80 degrees.  I've read that bass feed less and hold deeper once the water gets that warm.  I am still able to find bass in the shallows, but they all seem to be small.  What tactics to you guys use when the water temp gets warm.  I know Jig n Pigs are great in deeper water.  Any other ideas.

I find that speeding up the pace can really be the ticket some days in the warmer water.  High speed fishng can wear you out, but burning a ratltrap or chatterbait can really trigger the strikes in warmer water.

I usually go back to my old faithful....Booya Spinner.  I just like usings these because they make it so easy to change depths on the return.  

Find shade or deeper waters.   Shade can be under boat docks, lily pads and grass mats, next to old trees.

in one particular lake i fish, my "honey-hole" is a flat which is about 2' deep on the lower end of the lake. The temps recently have been holding in the mid to upper 80s and I have been getting quality size bass averaging in size from 1# up to 10#... I have been using a bullet weighted worm in junebug color (7.5" Yum Ribbontail) on a 2/0 Gama EWG hook.

Today I went back after a rain from last night - water temp was holding strong at 79-80 and I was still tearing them up with that junebug worm. I caught 1 - 3#, 1 - 5#, and lost one at the boat that was easily hitting 10#.

A guy came up beside me in another boat and asked what I was using - he was using a rattle-trap. I told him to fish around with me and sure enough, he pulled out a 10# and a few in the 5-6# range in a matter of 30min... (i had been there for 4 hours and only caught 2 with my worm)..

I tried spinnerbaits (large and small), topwaters, almost everything i had and no hits - switched back to the same rattle trap like he was using and tore them up again. I was using my Daiwa Alphas Ito and i was reeling as fast as i could and they where chasing it like it was their last meal

i used that rat-l-trap... but i still dont like them  

so fish the worms slow, and crankbaits fast

Alot of this is going to depend on the water you are fishing.In Florida for example there are no deep structure in most of the lakes.The fish will bury themselves up in vegetation to get better oxygen.In my home lake (Kentucky)the biguns' head for the deep stuff.

I look for ledges,humps,and points that have cover such as stumps,grass,or brushpiles.I throw deep diving cranks,jigs,c-rigs,and t-rigs.

I fish really heavy cover and deep channel drop-offs for the most part.

As the water gets hotter I find a better bite shallow early and later in the day.

Depth changes things and you can often find fish willing to bite all day. If you know where springs well up offering a thermal refuge be sure to probe that area. Don't forget shade be it from trees or a big bluff or ridge as the shade from them can offer a temperature break.
