Well, I guess that is why we call it "fishin" and not "catchin". Ha ha.
I've been skunked many more times than I have caught fish, especially during odd seasons.
Do you have a fish-finder? If so, did you see any fish where you were dunking bait/lures?
I never used a fish-finder much since 98% of my fishing was in saltwater bays that were only two or three feet deep. Recently I fished a small freshwater lake. It has depths to 60 feet or so. A friend taught me how to locate the fish by putt-putting around and watching the FF. It is amazing how many fish are in one area, and none in the other locations.
You've got to be fishing where they are. The lure/bait doesn't matter if the fish aren't even home. Heck, sometimes the lure/bait doesn't matter even if the fish are home.
Probably just telling you things you already know...but???

p.s. Yesterday I installed a second fish-finder on my boat. $70.00 for an Eagle Cuda, ....simple but it works. This FF is mounted near the bow so I can see what's going on while fishing from the front seat.
