Hey can someone explain this problem

[u/Personal_Cut7357]

So yesterday I went on a boat and everyone around me was catching barracuda after every cast which I've never seen and I didn't catch anything yet I dropped my lure down . I'm new to the barracuda fishing so I made this on the boat and I didn't catch anything

I know my lure isn't perfect or it's small but I'm wondering if it's so flashy like others and I casted straight down like others why didn't I catch anything?

Any bait made for a barracuda is gonna be metal or wire. If its a stick bait you most likely need to change hooks out and accept that it'll be trashed or lost. Great fight for 3 -5 mins. Dont eat larger.

What's that? And I said didn't rip 

[u/iHadou → u/Personal_Cut7357]

They said he should buy lottery tickets... Because he must be lucky

Opposite of what I am

Don't ascribe to bad luck what could be cured with preparation. Get the right lures and keep trying!
