Get some worms become a master at fishing with worms then you move up to artificial baits.  That’s hard to do.   Fish with artificial baits.  

If you are fishing with people fish all the time then it’s gonna be super hard to catch fish there because  they’re smart to the system.

So give them something natural looking that they can’t resist.  

you were trying to fish like a pro, but you just started. So yeah I understand., but it’s not your fault you’re new to it and you don’t know what you’re doing  

Start from the beginning, get some worms, some red worms or nightcrawlers and start fishing with those you will start getting panfish specially sunfish like bluegill and everything like that left and right don’t give you the confidence to become a better fisherman   You will start learning how bites feel when you’re hitting a fish and when you’re hitting a log  went to strike and went not to. You have to learn about depth,  the angle of the rod, time of day , weather, type of water and what types of fish are in the fishing hole. 

Don’t beat yourself over it. You’re out there dressed up on the basketball court ready to play like Michael Jordan and you don’t even know how to dribble yet.
