This time of year, one factor that makes a lot of difference, is the length of leader... water plants are growing fast in the warm water and sunshine, so you need to get a floating bait above the weed tops. A leader length of 5' to even 7' or 8' is often necessary to get the bait above the weeds. If you use worms, marshmallows will get them off the bottom, or I sometimes use corkies, pinned with a toothpick or plastic "wedgie" above the hook. Sounds like you are on the right track... don't give up... fishing is such a wonderful sport. Good luck! PTL!
