i'm in the same boat. been fishing since as far i can remember.. freshwater for about 10 years then i switched over and i'm about 10 years on that give or a take a few off seasons in my teens. only two catches worth talking about are a 5 or 6lb largemouth and a 6 1/2lb pickerel.
on good days i lay into those "almost" fish, left and right. maybe i will get one today.. but it could be tainted..

I feel you pain brother. My last three outings I have had busting fish and tons of bait all around me....toying with me, sticking out their little fishy toungues saying "na, na, na na, na.

I have resorted to (b/c I didnt have a cast net) snagging peanut bunker, yes you read it right , snagging peanuts. They are so thick that I had to burn a tandem snag rig through the schools to catch a handleful.

Live lining peanuts I am such a loser.
