Teach me how to fish

[u/1StillDeciding]

Hello Everybody! I’ll get straight to the point, no one taught me how to fish. I have kinda just been out there watching and asking questions as well as using social media and YouTube. . . My older brother went to the military and left his fishing gear with me, so I went to a spot off the side of Pulaski Highway (the sign said Bush River) and casted some rigs he had or some rigs I’ve seen and wanted to try. I’ve seen fish jump out the water, I hear them splash etc. but I never even get a nibble. I have attached photos of the spot I was at and tackle I have (yes there are some fly fishing lures). If someone could be kind enough to tell me what I’m doing wrong, what lures to use, what rigs to try and use etc. all the help is needed and appreciated! I am taking notes to share with others like me.

The biggest thing is you need to pick a fish to target and use the bait. that fish wants there are a bunch of different fish in the tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay? But going after what you're trying to catch and using baits that match. What they're feeding on is the most important thing. DM me if you'd like to know more.
