went to the scale bar today,lots of fish swimming by,but near the surface ,hardlly  any nr the bottom so bottom bouncing was very difficult. is this due to the cooler water now, or some other reason.

This is when you change tactics to improve your success. 40ft leader and slide a Drennan Zeppler onto the hook so it'd float up to where the fish are. You gotta keep your presentation in the zone!
