there's gotta be something im doing wrong thats causing me to never catch fish. i read all the materials i can, i get advice from everyone on here who will give it, yet i cannot catch a single bass, catfish, anything. im not even getting nibbles. could it be my location? i wouldnt think so, since i see everyone else reeling in big fish left and right...baits? [/reply]
The same thing is happening to me as well, I started fishig for bass this summer and seems like the fishing gods are upset with me for going after bass and leaving the cats and gills alone. (this is actually my second try for bass fishing, first time was about 10 years a go.)
But one thing I am doing is to try to learn at least 2 things everytime I get in the water, picked the texas rig and dropshoting and I will be practicing that for the next few outings exclusibly. This weekend I hope to get out to a small pond and try topwater lures early in the morning and if all goes well I will catch some fish. If I don't catch any fish I still intend to learn something from that outing. The guys I fish with keep telling me that I just have to put time in the water to be able to catch fish, I need to catch something to keep the positive attitude and continue to try even more.
Just hang in there and keep trying, be alert and watch the suroundings and what the fish are doing. Do not give up just yet.
