1) Since early May I've been to 8 different locations, all excellent for fishing and caught no fish or ones so small they had to be released.
2) I've tried worms, different sized minnows and artificial lures. None have worked.
3) I've fished early morning and evening with zero results.
4) I've adjusted my bobber to different depths and my presentation of the bait.
5) I've talked to local bait shops and followed their suggestions with little to zero results.
6) My friend Bear bought a Fish Finder which apparently does everything but find fish.
7) I upgraded from 4lb test to 10lb test. Yesterday, something snapped my 10lb test line in about 3 seconds. (The drag was adjusted).
8.) I've fished up and down the shoreline at many locations with zero results.
9.)I've fished in cool and hot weather with no results.
10.)I haven't fished regularly in 40 years and just started two months ago which may prove I have no clue what I'm doing.
Despite the results, I do enjoy what goes with it.

Apparently, there are no fish in TN. 😉😂
Those who told you the spots were excellent…lied to you 😡
There is a huge difference between fishing…and catching 😉
Whatever snapped your line will be easily identifiable as it still should be attached to whatever you were using!
Keep at it and good luck!

Can’t wait to see Ben’s version as it may be based on a story I told about a golf pro struggling with a student?

Hadn't thought of that. Tongue out or in? Michael Jordan kept his out a lot. Seemed to work for him.

Not sure. That could be the difference.

Try throwing some chewing tobacco in the water and net them when they come up to spit….
