What exactly are you targeting? I’m not much of a bass guy, but I do my best to stay on eyes and saugers. For me, the bite will probably slow some into July and August (or I’m just not a great angler).
Pulling cranks is a good strategy all summer for me. I find that as the water drops and temps warm, fish really spread out. Deeper sand flats seem to hold fish all summer, but I generally have to troll and cover water to keep on fish. Bottom bouncers and spinners with leeches and crawlers will produce as well. Once the “dog days of summer” come with the hottest of temps, a lot of people hold up on productive wingdams and do quite well. Personally, that’s not my cup of tea but it’s very productive for a lot of people. There’s generally some sort of bite close to shorelines through most of the summer as depicted in the Go Angling video, but it does slow. If pulling cranks near shore, I’ll start to concentrate on tributaries more where cool water comes in.
I’m sure others who are bigger experts can chime in, but my tactics are mainly based on covering as much water as possible throughout the Summer.

I would be looking for walleyes.
