I would definatly concentrate my efforts early morning and late evening but if mid-day fishing is a must then I try deep-diving cranks over deep sandgrass. If sandgrass is not an option I make controlled drifts over deep water with mid-depth cranks, usually over giant flats areas or well off of the the biggest complex( multiple bars/islands/points/weed beds) on the lake.

If all fails, drink beer and go swimming.

The best alternative options are fishing Lake Michigan for Kings & Cohos, or take a long weekend anywhere to saltwater fish!
If you have to fish for muskies, fish from dusk to dawn!

Suck it up, boys 95 isn't hot! Just make sure you drink a bottle of water every half hour or so...

The good news is you won't have to stop fishing to pee...
