Does anyone knows what I'm doing wrong if I walk to a pond full of Bluegills and Large Mouth swimming in front of me and I try all different lure and bait such as worm and they still won't bite...any suggestion?

Try lighter line like 6 or 8 lb test and no weight with the worms.

Redworms under a bobber with some light mono or fluoro. If you can't get a bluegill to bight on that I don't know what to tell you. If the water's that clear that you can see them swimming around that means that they can see you to. Keep a low profile and don't wear bright colors. Try not to look like a blue heron, they're pretty much onto those guys.

Hey Dthon if you click on quote reply we'll know who you are answering. As far as bait sent you can get it at most bait shops or online. crappie sauce is a Good one.

D please hit "quote reply" before you answer someone, then we'll all know who you're talking to. Do you smoke? I used to and I always carried a hanky or rag soaked in either peppermint or anise. I still carry the hanky even tho I don't smoke. My grandpa smoked a pipe and he always used the peppermint oil and he always caught bunches of fishes.
Now this is no chit.

He sneezed out on the lake once, sneezed so hard his dentures flew out and ended up at the bottom. He broke out his bacon and egg samich which he had brought for lunch and baited his hook with some of that bacon. Let that sink to the bottom and he loved bacon so much his teeth latched onto it and he saved his dentures.

Exactly why they wouldn't bite, keep your distance, hide behind a bush and flip a bait at them. I've done that on small farm ponds for shellcrackers
