got skunked or shorts.. 7 days in a row

[jig fisherman]

from july 3 to the 10 i went on a vacation to raystown lake to go fishing. Normally the water is in the 80's and the hydrilla is thick but this year the weeds were dead and the water was in the mid 70's. We typically do pretty well on the rock walls where its 40+ feet deep 20 feet fromk shore using little crankbaits but got next to nothing this year. All i got was one little bass on a tube jig. We also tried near the dead weeds and got a couple and my dad got a 2 two pounders one day near the weeds and submerged logs. On the days i didn't get skunked i got one on a wacky rig and one on a dt4. I think part of the reason we didn't get many was because there was a full moon that week and there was shad everywhere so the bass were probably just gorging themselves on the shad and we couldn't specifically target bass because my sisters woul have gotten bored if they didn't get a sunny every 2 minutes or less. the water was also less clear than it normaly is(there's probably 6+ feet of visibility normally). We did try the dam one day where there was 20+ feet of visibilty so i tried little swimbaits and all i got were sunnies. I did have a 2+ pounder on the night before we had to leave but he jumped and threw the hook on a zara spook. If anybody has any ideas on what i should have used that would be greatly appreciated. And thanks to whoever read the entire post because it was longer and i probably rambled on for a little while there.
