Open Water Bass Fishing Advice?
First off you have to find the key spots. And it seems like you know them. You said only a few spots that are 9- 8 feet deep. You gotta fish those spots. You need to fish the water efficently by covering water fast and elimination unproductive water. Fish a c rig with a baby brush hog.A crankbait tht keeps in contact with the .bottom, and when you find thoses deep spots cant go wrong with a drop shot, shakey head or even a tube/

You Guys Ever Have Days Where You Fish For 2-4 Hours Without A Bite?
Yah buddy...we all get that every once and a while. the inportant part is that you understand why you arent getting those bites, then changing tactics, boat position or even location. Once you start understanding these key factors you will increse your bites every time.

Swimbait Techniiques?
I fish lake casitas...notoriuse for some fat ol bass on swimbaits. If you throw a fast sinker to the dend of a point, turn your boat around, then drag it up the point. Brother let me tell you some big fish hit that sucker. Also i dont know your home lake, but if you have bluffs that drop really steep, then throw it right down them and slow roll it. Good lock Brother God Bless

Suspended bass
ya i pulled up at one of my favorite spots (deer slope) and started to throw a crankbait while my dada threw a topwater. there was no acton at all for 30 min on the baits. then i saw a fallen tree in a cove and wanted to pitckh it so i didand a 7 lber. stared my bait down for like 5 min but wouldent take it. i figureds that the bass ewere suspended in timber and when i went to otherspots with such cover iwas right and found the mother load of bass on my graph. the buggers wouldent bite no matter what.. i threw a drrop shot, crank bait, jig, c rig and couldent get them to bite. the fish held in like 37 to 14 feet of water around timber in the center of coves. and by points. i got a bunch or shot strikes on the borman and a crap load of nibbles on my t rig but couldent get the hook in. i tried wownsizing but still nothing, the bigges fissh seem to be suspended in 30-40 feet of water at the topes of trees at about 10-15 feet of the bottom.
