  1. Hey all, Got into bass fishing a few months back, and am seriously considering giving it up. I fish local lakes in the Elgin area of Illinois. I've been waking up early and getting to the lakes as soon as the park opens, fishing for 6+ hours at a go. I move around the lake, change lures, and get skunked. Since I started, I've caught a total of 4 bass. I spend about 10 hours a week fishing at a minimum. It's not that I'm failing to hook or land, I literally get no bites. A non exhaustive list of baits/lures I've tried: bladed jig, buzzbait, whopper plopper, frog, spinnerbait, in line spinner, all sorts of jigs, Texas rigged worms/creatures/etc, wacky rig, ned rig, jerkbaits, swimbaits, and more. The vast majority of my time is spent walking and casting. I don't get bites, and get even less fish. Any advice would be wonderful.
