Well, it sounds alot like some of the lakes here in south Jersey. Dont know if you've tried but here goes.

In these shallow lakes, they arent getting much shade besides the pads. In the heat of the day, I havent got much, but after 4 they are in the pads....big time.

Rig a light colored grub weedless, no weight, and drag it over the lilly pads, if there are any. Look for the wake behind it...when you see it, stop the lure so it falls off of the pads. It will hit, hard, but you need a rig that's gonna get them out of the pads. Try it...if it doesnt work, I dont know what to do.

Doesn't sound like you are doing anything wrong, it's just that time of the year. Early and late are working best for me, but if you are fishing during the day they are going to be either in deep cover or deep water. The creek might be a good place to try-the current will help oxygenate the water and help cool it down.
