high skies

[roadrunner]

i went fishing in one of my favorite ponds but could not draw a strike. i started talking to another angler and he blamed it on the super clear sky ie. high skies. i have had a problem several other times but never really blamed it on the sky. there was not really any wind and the water was stained. in this time of year in texas the temperature is reletively cool in the mornings but rises in temp as the day goes on. seemed like the only thing biting was blue guill. i threw a bungee hawg around the cattail growth and crankbaited around the deeper edges of the pond. i am not a big fan of these crainkbaits and that might have been a mistake on my part. i am wondering what advice ya'll have for situations such as these. i probably need to just slower.
