Im in East Tennesee and and i fish at like any lake

I'm usually fishing from a kyak, but still dont have a clue on how deep the water is.

Thanks, the lures I have been using are topwater frogs and crankbaits. I've never used any swimbaits before. Any suggestions? Also, about using the grub. Do I cast it far out or not?

I haven't caught a bass in about a month now, I'm going at least once every weekend, they are not very long trips maybe 1-2 hours at least. I am pretty new to freshwater bass fishing and i just started fishing again in general. I am very confused on all the things you have to take into account as in what baits to use and when to use and where to cast in the water. The last bass that i caught was 1 and a quarter pound and i caught it on the 2 dollar walmart crankbait. Does anybody have any tips?
