I am new to bass fishing, but thought I was doing everything correct when on the water. I have read a lot on the Internet on different techniques  on catching bass and the gear used. I see a lot of my friends do it and it looks really fun.  I thought I’d also get in the fun, but so far not one single bass caught. The places I’ve been fishing is Little Seneca Lake, Clopper Lake, and Triadelphia Reservoir, all supposed good bass fishing lakes? I have even tried fishing from a boat, near shore but not too close, anywhere between 8-25 feet deep, trying to go for places with vegetation and fallen logs and such. I have been using Texas Rigged plastic worms, 5 inch Watermelon rigged to a 2/0 offset shank, 7 inch Black-red on a 3/0, and a 10 inch Purple on a 4/0, with a sinker attached. I cast them away from the boat, let them sink to the bottom, and then slowly reel them in and shake it around a bit, etc. I have also been using a few crankbaits, a crawdad and a minnow. So far I have not even hooked anything, I don’t even think I have even got any bites! What am I doing wrong?? HELP
