Trouble Finding Fish! (In My Area)

Featured Replies

Sunfish? No problem. Catfish? Tricky but no problem. Anything else? Yea right..

 

I have two bridges i can fish from. Both crossing over the same river which is probably 200ft in width. One has a boat launch right next to it, the other has about 100 ft of shoreline to cast from.

 

I cant seem to find fish! I've been able to reel in a couple bass, all are small ranging 9"-12". Today i went out, it was raining pretty hard so i figured the fish would be more active. I fished for about 3 hours, switching up my lure every 20-30 minutes. I tried some crankbaits, worms (plastic), jigs, and spinners. Only managed to get one bite which popped off as i was pulling it up. I've changed my rhythms, jerks etc and cant seem to find the fish! I understand that shore angling probably isnt very good and i should expect much but d**n 3 hours and 1 bite? It hurts!!

 

I live in Jordan, NY and i was fishing a long river leading into the south side of Cross Lake (you'll be able to see it on Google Earth if you type Cross Lake, NY)

 

Anyone have any tips or spots around my area?
