I have Been going early in the am and are closer to dark. Fishing slow and a little deeper. I have been using Texas ans Carolina rigged salamanders and worms, tubes and deep diving crank baits that I can work slow after I get them down. For me that has been the key to catching anything SLOW and multiple cast to the same structure from different angles. Good Luck

Catching BIG Bass is a painfully slow process, and in the end you may not even come up with anything. Arguably, the best lure for big Bass is a large plastic worm, fished extremely slow on the bottom. 10" or 12" worms work the best, Mann's Jelly Worm is a popular brand. Texas-rig the worm with a 5/0 or 6/0 Gamakatsu EWG hook and a 1/8 or 1/4oz weight, depending on how deep you're fishing. Larger worms will normally root out smaller fish, but I've caught 7" Bass on 6" Plastic Worms so you may come up with smaller fish as well. If you don't want to use artificials, a large Shiner/Shad/Minnow hooked below the spine with a #2 hook and NO extra-added weight, or a small split-shot. Just throw it out and leave it. 3" to 5" baitfish will work best.

Earlier and later, deeper water and shade. I'm gonna have to disagree with the idea that topwater won't work, because I was in a boat the other day and three nice largemouths were caught on topwater, just gotta watch what the fish are doing, if they're hitting natural food on the surface, there's no reason topwater won't work. (Granted, I wasn't in my native waters of Florida, a little cooler up in N.C., but still.) I'm still digging Senkos, throw it out, let it sink and take your time bringing it back in. But yeah, if the temp's hitting 95 or so during the day, fishing at noon won't do you any good at all, gotta get up early or go out late. Anyway, good luck, have fun,

Try fishing from Midnight to around 9 am.
Use small baits. Like shaky head craws or worms.
In my neck of the woods they have been leaving the traditional baits alone and I have had to resort to finesse baits.
Good Luck....I am on my way out the door now to fish till sun rise and Sunday night on the new moon nights.
IF you are using a boat with a depth finder read the dist-ructions ( LOL ) and find out how to set it so it will show the thermocline ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocline ) and then you will at lest know the fish will not be any deeper.

I know here in Ohio,we are in a drought,all the lakes and rivers are way down,less water means less oxygen,and the fish are just like you and I,if we cant get any oxygen,we are not going to want to move.I think night fishing is the only hope,when its hot like this.

Fish the deeper structures like 8 to 15 feet. there in deeper water now and if you don't get it close to them there just going to ignore what ever you through at them!

Need to fish deeper and slower when it's so hot. Also close to dark they tend to feed a little more.

Try a texas rig around marshes, structures, and toward the night use a top water
