Anybody have any tips for me on catching largemouth bass? I know for a fact they are in my pond. The water has maybe a foot of visibility, at least on the shore. I've seen them hit them top and I've heard they'll strike a senko, but I've had no luck. I've tried texas rigs, wacky worms, a top water walker, a frog, and buzz bait and I've not even had a strike in the 7 days I've been out fishing there. What am I doing wrong??

Are you trying different depths consistently? If the fish are there, you need to find them. That might take a while but when you know where they will be and when, you might have more luck? It might be worth taking the hooks off for a few casts to feel out the bottom so you know what structures are there. You might still get snagged but if you don't know the water at all and go in with hooks, you might lose quite a bit of equipment getting used to it!
