hey Abhi
welcome to the forum.
what fish are you targeting, maybe using the wrong equipment and tackle.
do you know what fish are in the body of water where you are going.
as for lessons, just go online and search the target fish ie bass small or large mouth (big difference). learn about there habitat what they eat, etcetera. Use bait to mimic their diet. Same goes for the body of water, learn as much as you can ie: what type of fish are there, is and where is the feeder creek(if a lake).
And just ask experienced fisherman, most will help to a point. But you may have to listen to a few stories about the ones that got away.
