I'd have to say I doubt that surface temp change will make a huge difference. I'd keep going with what you had success with recently and go from there. stay away from dead weeds, i think it's a waste of time usually, plus it's hard to fish efficiently. that being said, areas that weren't covered in water that now are can be good so if you have that without the dead dying crap all over it that's good. The problem i'm seeing in most places is that you have water temps of very early autumn with ecosystems of very late autumn (dying weeds everywhere, etc). Chances are with the shorter days and longer nights i would think most predator fish have switched over to chasing bait...find the bait, find the bass.
