Where are the fish?

[hit&miss]

A little background. I live in eastern NC and am landlocked, no boat. Generally fish golf course ponds, some small lakes that I can get to the bank and the Pamlico river. The weather has real unpredictable. It could be 28 in the morning and 70 in the afternoon. The bass don't know if it's winter or spring! The question is where are the bass? I've tried high, low, banks, further out. I've tried all kinds of lures, fast and slow. Lately I've been throwing a slug go or a bitsy bug jig. I like the slug go because you can work it on top or let it drop and jerk it or let it go all the way to the bottom, the hole water column. Any ideas would be helpful and appreciated. Sorry for being so long winded.
