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

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!!!
