When I was a kid, we had a small farm pond that had fish who wouldnt cooperate,
So, What I did in that situation is look around the area where you are fishing, find what ever bugs are hopping around and turn over a log or rock or two to find what ever may be crawling around there.
Those will be what will attract your fish best. "match the hatch or use the hatch when ever lawfull"
especialy black crickets if that is lurking about, put them under a bobber or bubble.
if your a brave sole, wasps and hornets work well too, the fish will come right up to the top of the water to hit those bugs so you dont realy need a sinker if your fishing shallow water. Grass hoppers work like crazy now as well.
