Hi Callum
you say that you have the right bait and gear, but what is that bait and gear?
Also, what fish are the other anglers catching?

Well it sounds like you are doing things right. Have you tried fishing with a heavier lead or a breakaway lead as this can help to hook the fish when it strikes at your bait?
All of my wrasse have been taken on the float using rag worm as bait and a 1/0 or 2/0 hook so it might be worth trying that.
Next time that you are fishing and you see someone catch a fish why not ask if they can show you what method they are using? (most of us don't bite)

hope this helps

Don't give up on the fishing just yet, give it another couple of years or so and you should of caught some seriously good fish.
