I'm new to fishing (as in just started this week). I thought I'd try catching some bream at West Lakes to get started but haven't had any luck these past 3 days.
I've tried everything I can think of; baiting with bread and pilchard chunks, soft plastic lure, running sinker and no sinker, different methods of retrieving the lure, cast close to the bank and far away, however I can't seem to get any fish to bite.
I can see the bream in the water but the big ones just stare at my bait or lure for a while then swim away while the little ones crowd it and take nibbles out
