Water Temp and Sunfish Feeding

Yesterday I took Jacob to our local creek for some wade fishing and swimming. Water temp at 8:00am was 81 degrees. We fished and swam for about three hours before we threw in the towel. While snorkeling, we could see longear sunfish, spotted bass, largemouth bass, bluegill and big green sunfish. I threw the kitchen sink at them and only caught one small bluegill. We have fished this section of the creek pretty hard the last three summers and by late summer we can’t hardly buy a bite here. Water is really low and clear and getting warm. Do any of my fellow creek anglers notice a similar pattern in your neck of the woods? If I go north to some creeks with more springs and cooler water, I can still catch fish. Just a longer drive.
