Change tactics, go bigger or smaller, fish faster or slower, change color, change technique, change baits.
Learning how to type properly never hurt anyone. : lol

Try some different types of worms ex. Needle, Paddle Tail, Trick, Finesse, Curly Tail, sometime it makes a difference
Cast somewhere else. If all you get are dinks, then you're probably casting where the dinks reside. If you're generally casting to the shoreline, then cast 20-30' off depending on the drop offs. Another option is to put your boat up against the shoreline and cast out toward the main lake and fish "up hill" to potentially show it to the bigger fish first.
how do you know the big ones aren't looking at it? seriously guys, he's lacking two periods. you dont have to make up for it by starting yours.
I've actually caught my biggest bass (LM) 8lb-2oz on a 3" grub but have caught a few 6lb'ers on 5" senko's wacky rigged on a Zappu 3/16"
Norcalbassin with good advise,you need to throw to another area and depth.

I would say the typing is fine, the area he is fishing may need to change however. Find big bass areas, you may be where the dinks are at the time of day you are fishing.
This site has a good spell check on the right side if the page, when posting a reply.
The vast majority of bass anglers tend to fish within a casting distance from the bank and use the Texas rigged high production injection molded worms. Sometimes that works, most of the time it doesn't.
What makes bass fishing a great sport is the bass are willing to bite a wide variety of lures. You need to determine what lures and presentation the bass prefer at the time and place.
Learn to fish soft plastic worms using a few techniques like drop shot, Carolina rig, shaky head jig along with the Texas rig.
You will never know what color the bass prefer until you try a few different colors, same for the length and style.
Adult size bass are more experienced then smaller Juvenal bass that are very aggressive. You need to slow down and fish where the larger bass are located.

Some one must have thought it (spelling) was important or they wouldn't have put a "check spelling" function on the site.

Just saying...How can you ridicule someone for their spelling then follow up starting a sentence off with AND???

Although I usually don't pay attention to stupid arguments, this actually gave me a good chuckle.
Back on subject, if you have the means to fish new areas then that would be the first thing that I would do. Second I would up-size my bait to maybe wean out some of the smaller bass.

Sound wisdom.

Now that's funny, right there.
I've been "fishing with worms" for most of my life,
but since I switched meds, I think they're now under control

And so is that!

Bass Resource has a very large library of articles.
Look at the top of the page. You'll see the header for the articles section. I'd suggest starting it the Tips & Tactics section, then look in the lure techniques sections.
There are enough articles, and enough information to keep you occupied all winter.

i did 2 things that improved my worm fishing tremendously.
bigger worms. i never throw a worm <12 inches.
slow down. i use a 3.8:1 curado and it forces me to slow down. you won't get as many bites, but the bites you get are usually better fish.
You are probably not fishing where the bigger fish are.
you need to be in that 10-20 of water thats were all my big bass come from , i will use a bead in dirty water and beadless in clear , i will use 2 retrieves one is shaky on the bottom and then hop it shake again , i will do this right back to the boat ,i also will do a one revolution of the reel and pause 5 seconds then do it again all the way back to the boat (kinda like dragging it ) , for me these 2 ways work very well for catching big bass , if i had to guess you should be fishing where the boat is sitting , my2cents

As a fellow Floridian, I can tell you that before I started using rage tails, I used to use nothing but Culprits, thanks to my father. The 10" worms in Purple and red shad colors were all I needed for big FL bass, just make sure you fish it slow and if that isn't working, go slower. You can also try some megastrike attractant, It works!

One of these days I need to hook up with you to see that. I just can't imagine using a reel that slow. What do you do if a fish starts running right at you? Just crank like all hell?
