How to deal with warm rain increasing water temp by over 10 degrees?

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.

Warm rains, especially this late in the year, are DYNAMITE--or can be--for bass action on spinnerbaits. Once the sun went down last night and I sat on the bank of my local pond, walking our Lab, I regretted I didn't get out and cast before dark.

Most of my fishing (and all my best catches recently) have occurred while walking my dog after dark (if I told my wife I was 'going fishing it wouldn't fly but can't argue with walking the dog). I have learned its impossible to fish and hold leash at same time so I usually just tie the leash to a tree or park bench and fish for a few minutes then relocate and repeat. Pretty sure my dog hates it but I also don't like picking up his shit and carrying it in a bag so I figure we are even.

I'd rather have advice on how to deal with all these leaves in the water!!!
