Like most said. some days the fish just don't bite. We've been at our favorite pond and caught 1lb crappie all day and went back the next day and not get a bite all day long on anything we tried.
But with cats like was said on slow days like that try something unusual. Like a homemade dough bait. You can find recipes everywhere online.
I make one using Oats, Maple Syrup, Flour and some minced up shrimp. I mix it til its not sticky anymore and will dough up on a treble hook. On days when none of the traditional baits are getting even a nibble I've caught a few catfish and even carp on that bait.
Good luck!
