Put some time in on the water and learn were the fish are and they will come!
Also have you ever thought for a second that there are other fish in he water besides bass?? Lots of great table fish out there if you learn were they are!!

Oh yeah, believe me, after fishing the barren waters of Maine I was ready for catching anything. Whenever I headed out, I had poles rigged for bottom or surface fishing, bait, lures, everything I figured I'd need (except experience). I sailed all over the upper Bay rarely marking fish or seeing any bird or feeding action. I tried to spot and observe other fishermen out there but they were few and far between, and no one looked to have much going on. I caught a couple of small fluke off Newport, but that's it. I hear the tautog fishing is good but if you get out too late, all the reliable spots have dried up. I'm a little bummed to learn that I have to chug down to the Newport bridges or offshore for the best fishing spots. I really need to hook up with someone who knows the area, though. I'm flying blind most of the time.
