Teach me how to fish
Hello Everybody! I’ll get straight to the point, no one taught me how to fish. I have kinda just been out there watching and asking questions as well as using social media and YouTube. . . My older brother went to the military and left his fishing gear with me, so I went to a spot off the side of Pulaski Highway (the sign said Bush River) and casted some rigs he had or some rigs I’ve seen and wanted to try. I’ve seen fish jump out the water, I hear them splash etc. but I never even get a nibble. I have attached photos of the spot I was at and tackle I have (yes there are some fly fishing lures). If someone could be kind enough to tell me what I’m doing wrong, what lures to use, what rigs to try and use etc. all the help is needed and appreciated! I am taking notes to share with others like me.

Throw any of those lures out and see how they move in the water and then try to figure out how a fish would want it to move and then set the hook when it bites. Reel in and repeat. We can tell you about how to specifically use those lures all day but actually going and using them is going to be the best and fastest way to learn.
You have a great selection of baits by the way just experiment and you’ll figure it out
That spot looks awesome jump on that dock if you can and throw those jigs under the bridge
Worm on a hook with a sinker. Maybe a bobber if you’re feeling spicy
