first thanks again for all the helpfull advice i have gotten from all my stupid questions so far, here are a few more.

#1. the lake i fish in is real low right now there is a large part that is only 2-4 foot deep with islands starting to apear. i never go to that part of the lake.shoul i be?

2. are small pearch baitfish for smallmouth?if you put a hook and worn in the water it gets swarmed by pearch, tonight i tiik my son out in the canoe and he got like 12 of them and when i reel in a spinner bait there was a bunch chaising it.

3. how long do you guys fish one spot before you give up or move on? the last few weeks have been slow and i fing myself giving up on a certain bait or spot.

thanks again, i depend on you guys for all the know how i can get.

no one

Yes you should fish every part of the lake!

Depends on how they are hitting for spot length!

1. Yes, its important to try out ALL parts of your lake. you never know where a hotspot may be if you dont go looking

2.Yes Bass have been known to eat perch.

3.I think this is different in every situation. You have to go with your gut on this one. I feel alot of times just because a spot is slow, yet I feel like this is somewhere bass would be. Can actually mean the area is inhabited with Bigger and Smarter fish. and its about this time you should change up your method. Slower reel, different depth bait. once you have given a hole a good work, you will know when to leave.
