78°F and climbing — cloudy skies may be your friend.

Water jumped over 3°F in the last 24 hours and is now sitting at 78.8°F, well above the smallmouth comfort zone — activity will likely be limited, though overcast skies and a west breeze could help. The DO range yesterday swung as high as 18.9 mg/L, so oxygen itself isn't the problem. Hard to say how much the bass will cooperate at these temps, but it's worth a shot.
