>>2602081I’m having trouble getting back into fishing. I’ve been trying to get back into it as an adult and having no luck over the years. Freshwater btw, going for largemouths, peacock, snakehead. As a kid this was my only real hobbie. I would almost always catch something and usually decent sized. Now, I’m the 10 or so times I’ve gone out I’ve caught baby peacocks, a baby largemouth and 1 small full grown peacock off a shiner.
I need advice I’m not sure where to start. As a kid I would use Texas rugs or bullet head jigs with just a plastic worm. Now I’m having not a whole lot luck. 8/10 of my trips I’ve caught nothing, bottom at best. I honestly don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I would prefer to use lures, I find it more fun than just floating a shiner out and waiting. I really want to get a baitcaster and a better rod and set up a small fishing backpack but I can’t justify the investment if I’m not able to catch anything most days over a 3 hours period. Any advice? Most of my gear is pretty old and I was thinking new lures and shit would be a good start, no idea what to even get I see so much variability in the types of life’s available.
I hate crank baits btw. I prefer soft plastics. If anyone could point me in the right direction of a few pretty decent lures and what rigs to use I would appreciate it. I have no hobbies as an adult and I’m trying to get back into the one I used to love, pretty depressing for it for it to go no where now that I’m trying to be not depressed…
I really don’t get this, I used to catch a fish within every 10 casts now it’s nothing. Pic very unrelated.
