Why can't i catch any fish?

When fishing I have found that 10-15 minutes in one spot without a bite means it is time to move. 10% of fisherman catch 90% of the fish by fishing around structure and going a little off the beaten path when you fish. Don't fish where everyone goes.

If You Are Not Catching Fish, No Matter What You Try,Your Not Holding Your Mouth Right,With Practice You Will. Watch,Listen. And Don't Give Up. But If You Keep Coming Home With No Fish, Your Wife May Think Your Fishing For Something Else. Then Go To The Fish Market. LOL! Good Luck.

If you’re fishing from the beach try a heaver weight, maybe a 2 ounce. You need to cast further out. And use a high low rig with either cut up real bait such as bunker or you can try gulp 4 inch minnow. That usually works for me. I hope this helps. Good luck!!

Take a trip to the skyway pier on either side of Tampa bay. Visit and watch! Don't ask too many questions …. just learn... then assume a similar posture.
Also for a great beach fishing experience, go all the way to long boat key inlet at the south end of coquina beach....use small hooks and some fresh live shrimp with a little weight while the current is flowing and have some pan fish fun. Feed the extra to the pelicans and the fish god will reward you with good karma.

Well I'm not much of a salt water fisherman but I have seen cases where guys just can't seem to get a bite and found out that they need to wash their hands with a soap that leaves no scent some scents that are some people repel fish and they find if they clean there hands as your handlin the baits it makes a big difference.

on pier 60 use a small, cheap walmart spinning rod, a 2 hook drop rig with really small hooks and a really small pinch of fresh shrimp on each hook with a smallish to medium sized pyramid sinker. drop this straight down near one of the support posts of the pier, reel all slack out of the line, hold line between index finger and thumb and wait to feel the tap-tap-tap. next just reel in any slack, if any, set the hook and reel in the fish. this ought to work.
