It’s strange I do see minnows swimming but no bites. Maybe I’m just not throwing the right things, or I’m fishing it wrong. I’m pretty new so it’s probably that I’m fishing it wrong.

I started fishing in July and I’ve been fishing mostly the neighborhood ponds on the east side of orlando. I got pretty good with a Senko or trick worm, learned the ponds, and generally could catch 2-3 fish an hour (including dinks) with my son. I haven’t been fishing since September due to work but I’ve been a few days in a row now and I can’t catch squat. I tried a few different colors in the 4” length, I even tried a ratt-l-trap and a one-minus which I’ve never had luck with before but why not. I’ve tried a lot of searching online and most tips are related to bass boats I assume as they describe 7+ft of water. Any tips? What am I missing? I’m not even getting a bite. :-/

All ready to go! I'll let you guys know how it turns out. Now I just need free time... http://imgur.com/a/4PVXt Any good videos on how to fish the TRD? Just texas rig it or is the ned rig better? Guy at the store suggested the ned hooks figured why not.

Hey thanks for that link!! It's hilarious to me I already have the Ugly Stick GX2 and I'm looking at getting a small senko just like she had. Am I an old lady?... Any idea on the hook size or how she rigs it? Am I good with my 3/0 or should I go down a size? Thank you for the tip!

Hey my son (22mo) and I are learning to fish! We accidentally caught a bass fishing for bluegill in our neighborhood pond on our roughly 15th trip. That was enough my son begs to go fishing every weekend morning when I wake him up. I'm looking for any advice pulling in baby bass at the ponds in Orlando. From my judgement it's dyed, maxes at roughly 5ft, and I've lost a few bass due to terrible ability to set the hook. I'm fishing a pumpkin seed Texas rugged zoom worm on a 3/0 hook. Can I go smaller? I'd rather pull out a single 4" fish every time we go than a monster once per year. https://m.imgur.com/a/YS3hc
