New to fishing

[kevan]

Hi guys, I've been fishing for 3 days now in Toronto - from Humber Bay to Tommy Thompson Park and only got one bite at TTP! Often times we see the fishes jump in the middle of the river/pond, where it's beyond our reach. Are we simply unlucky? We fish along the shores with plastic worms, so we're wondering if we're using the wrong bait.

Any ideas on how to fish on the shore?

Thanks
