Find someone with a permit and see if he will give you a Dupont lure.

This is true with me. Everytime I fish from the bank, prop fishing rod & reel in a forked stick and leave it. Every time I would leave the combo, go get more bait or check the other rod & reel not too far away, and would see my whole fishing outfit go in the water, (probably a catfish or carp). This has happened to me 5 or 6 times. I couldn't make it back in time to grab the outfit. Kinda funny if you think about it. That fish dragging my outfit around in the lake.

like fish dancer said it could be your scent,, I was fishing with my best friend after a hard days working,, I was getting g fish after fish and he was right beside me not getting a bite,, he asked me to bait up his hook and "pitch it out there" I did and less than 2 minutes later he caught the biggest fish of the day and continued to catch fish as long as I baited his hook !!

Sad. Very sad. How are you still walking upright? Not even losing the worms? A. Knock that kid aside and fish his spot. B. See First exactly how he hooks the worm. C. Take his fish.

Got that one right - the infamous ‘DUPONT’. As kids we would use M-80’s. Always got our fish!

I think this is a great idea. The others are as well but just getting on some fish with a guide can do wonders for your confidence as well as teach you plenty. Confidence is key, get your mojo back!

Me thinks you might have been a fish in another life. Lol! Or a world renowned fisherman thats filled his quota! But, it sounds like you have the right approach keep up chasing the sun and good luck breaking your slump this year. Maybe a lawn chair and go share a story or two with a kid!

You ARE using a hook, right? I'm sorry I don't live near you. I would love to just come and watch.
