Water temps are high kind of a mid summer pattern starting. You could try pulling spinners or cranks off the edge of the weeds. if there is any mid lake structures i would try there rather than shorelines, but if not slip bobber may help you get into the weeds where fish may be.
Here’s a few tips , have a good fish finder with GPS, do more looking than fishing, if you don’t have a idea what to do, look for hard bottom area’s in the weeds, it will be less weeds there ,hot spot. Don’t troll over shallow fish with big motor, use trolling motor ,cast parallel to weeds,look for weeds extending from wall of weeds, that don’t grow to surface, run your lures over top and down outer edge, projection from weed line and deep turns are key areas, catch a fish ,mark the spot,their most likely more.

Catmando’s got some good advice, this topic was also discussed in depth here:

I’ve had some luck targeting eyes just off the weedline. They seem to get on clean bottoms and actively hunt right around sunset. If you find a point near weeds with bait on it, you should be able to pick up some fish at primetime.
Or get out of the metro where the #s are poor. When the numbers of fish are high you will feel like a pro-low numbers not so much. Lakes south of the metro will be fishable in about a month (they are slime buckets now) Lakes south can be boom/bust so get good intel-good luck
