What are you doing? Are you using a Hula Popper? No one can answer your question unless you are more specific. Explain your technique and baits etc and people can help

I havnt been able to find them this year either. Usually fish from Sherman's point cause it's closest to me. Tried from anywhere between 18-25 feet of water using Jiggin raps and rattle raps tipped with minnow heads.

Come on guy's, he didn't ask to be made fun of. The question may not have been specific but it was sincere.
It can be really frustrating not catching fish.

They maybe poking a bit of fun at him but they will also give him some feedback once they know more.

Roblin, we really can't help someone out too much without knowing what their approach is. He might be doing everything right and be in a bad location or might be in the best location and not using proven techniques or lures. We're here to help just give us a little more info.
That's why I asked him to be more specific.

Brian,. Maybe try a spoon like a buckshot tipped with a couple minnows through the head. Are ya marking them ? If you are using a flasher just stay off the bottom with your bait and then keep teasing them and pulling it away. At some point they will charge up as you pull it away. The further you get them off the bottom the more likely they are to crush it because it means that fish turned agressive

I have Lowrance I just got that doubles as an Ice flasher/graph. But can't seem to get the settings right to mark my lure. Had a guy help me change some last night so hopefully that helps. I'll try a buckshot/pimple next time I'm out. Never fished with spoons what's a good size/colour?

Gold sidewinder with one minnows has worked well

usually its just a matter of messing with the sensitivity on your flasher.., soon as you get it dialed in you wont leave home without it. I thought they were a waste of money until I used one. Almost makes it too easy.. When theres fish that is.. Give lipless rattle baits a go been having good luck this year so far with them..
