So I sit on here every few nights and read and look at all the fish you guys are catching wondering what I'm doing wrong. I've been fishing Harris, Durham lake, Tull's Mill(most recently), Jordan, Cherry Hospital, Falls lake. I try to use lures only but now I've been bringing my old rod as a bait rod just so I can actually catch something!
. A lot of the fish I've caught this year (10 max, all under 3 lbs) have been on a pumpkin or purple rubber worm texas rigged with no weight.
A good majority of my fish have been caught as Durham and a two at Harris. Nothing at Falls lake, Jordan or Tull's. I see a lot of guys on here talking about pulling 30 fish from harris in a day and I think I either really have bad luck or I'm not doing something right. My girlfriend and I go out on our kayaks almost every weekend atleast once to one of these places and if we're lucky we catch 1. Now I love fishing and will never stop but this dry spell a long with all the time invested traveling etc is getting a little depressing. If anyone has a second to give some tips it would be greatly appreciated!
A little background history on myself...I started fishing at 5 years old and all the way through now. I'm originally from Rhode Island where the water is really clear and catching fish was no problem at all. Ever since I've moved to the south here I've had a major dry spell fishing. I've adopted a few new lures used down here vs what I used up north like jigs, different top water lures and worm setups. I'm also a new kayak fisherman as I just bought one for this season and can't afford a sweet bass boat like I see most of you zipping by me on and almost capsizing me

Thanks for the help in advance guys, and maybe I'll meet some of you out there!
