I think it is realistically time to slow down. I don't think it matters as much as what you throw, whether it be the drop shot, shaky head, jig, or even jerk bait. But as a principle I like to start fast and speed up after I've got onto a pattern. The first step in catching more fish is knowing where they are. You could be throwing what they ordered for lunch, but if they are literally not there, you'll never get bit. Try a wacky or texas rigged senko, 5 inch in a green pumpkin color. leave it non weighted and throw it around. Cast and watch your line. Just remember, slow is the key. Don't move the bait until it's sat there for 10 seconds. It may drive you crazy but you will see your catching rates go up substantially.

Hey buddy! Great that you're just starting to get into it! First off, it sounds like there's a possibility that maybe the fish are active and want that bigger bait. Try throwing a jig with a grub or swimbait trailer. General rule of thumb I have fishing for largemouth in upstate NY (ranked one of the hardest places to fish) is to start big and fast. Then go big and slow, then small and fast, and finally finish with a senko or finesse jig. Just starting out you catch a fish on a few lures and think they're God's gift to you Really try to expand your horizons. EVERY LURE WORKS otherwise they would not be made and distributed anymore! go to the tackle store and load up! Remember good colors are anything you'd eat! (Watermelon, pumpkin, PB&J, Sweet Tator Pie)
