This year August might be different. After all, what's been normal about this year?

I'd say that if this year's weather patterns hold up, you may use your July fishing tactics thru the end of August.  However, if it does get hot in a hurry, I'd go with the recommendations of hitting reefs with access to deep water on larger lakes.

Speaking of fishing in the wind, a few years ago (after a week on Pickeral in August) Pascanel and I developed a canoe stabilizer that slows you canoe and allows you to drift at a slower pace than the wind speed.  We call them 'seal fins' and they mount to the windward side of your canoe.  They are no bigger than the blade of a canoe paddle and no worries with fish tangling in a rope as is always the problem with a drift sock.  These essentially do the same thing as a drift sock but slide on/off your gunnel.

Necessity is the mother of invention.  I have the drawn plans around here somewhere . . .  Undecided
