hey fellow arkansans,

I went up to degrey lake and fished from about 12:45 pm to 5 pm. nothing, not even a bite. I tried 3 different spots. I tried several different things. Was wondering if someone could help me out.

I tried fishing with worms on a #4 hook using a slipstick bobber. Set it at variations of lengths from 1 foot to 4 feet.

I tried using a jig ( my first time using a jig) same thing with no worm and then with a worm on there.

Then I started to try with other things to just catch a fish...

roostertail...
fake shad...
double hooked worm...


nothing.. no bites... nadda thing, I then came to the conclusion that there is no fish in that lake until a guys showed up caught 10 crappie and left... made me wanna cry. So any advice would be helpfull... I am fishing from the bank, and do not have access to a boat so that is my only option.

any ideas?
