fishing in a pond

[sumal]

i bought a $40 inflatable 4 person coleman raft at walmart just for me and my buddies to play around with. i took it out on a local pond the other day and i had no luck untill i hit a small "hotspot" in at the in the far corner of the pond. i pulled out one after another of tiny 1/4 pound small mouths and a few perch. i know theres pretty large bass in the pond because ive seen people pull em out. i was wonderin if the larger bass would be in the same spot as the smaller bass and perch or in a different area
