I understand your frustration .. I have been there.. Just an idea that might change your luck.. Go to some lakes or streams that you know hold fish, and fish with live bait.. Get some live minnows and fish under a bobber or live line them with no weight... When in doubt go back to basics... Fish eat little fish not plastic metal or wood... Yes lures are good , but they are designed to trick fish into grabbing them.. A live minnow or wiggling worm is something a fish wants to eat, no trickery needed... Might be worth a try, its worked for me in the past during lean fishing times... bob
