Why can I catch anything when I go fishing? My friend catches bluegill and some bass but I don't get any bites at all. I've tried a Carolina rig and a Texas rig does it have to do with the knots or what am I doing wrong?? I don't even know how it feels to get a bite, the lake I fish at is stocked with trout and bass as well as it having catfish and bluegill. The water is blue/green very nasty looking water wouldn't want to swim in it. Someone please tell me what I need to do or if I have the right things I just want to catch one of any kind of fish
