Well, tell us what you did so the rest of us won't do that.

Me and the wife got skunked also. On Ray Hubbard. I think our problem was bait. I couldn't find any shad. ;

Today was a ZIP day on my Catfish Calendar. That means to the most part, sometimes nothing caught, or very few caught. But then there are occasions you do find a rogue that does not follow in line with the majority. The Calendar concerns the patterns of YellowCats, BlueCats, and Gator Gars.
You might try next (following) two weekends after the 7/8 (of May)- 14/15 & 21/22 are BlueCat (BC) days. The 28/29 weekend are YellowCat (YC) days, of which the Blues also bite pretty well on.
On this year's thread, I think on page 1, I shared some comments/testimonies of those who use it.

Just got on. Does not look good. You may have to work hard. Sometimes though a "rogue" one may cross your path. Best to take a variety of baits. If you have a scope, better plant it right into their midst & hope some don't follow the "norm". I have shared that in my estimate, some 66% to 75% follow the patterns of my Catfish Calendar (as to Blues & Yellows). It seems to be a sort of programmed instinct I refer to as a "roam-feed circuit". In other words, it is as if some sort of switch goes off to make them go roam & feed.
The 2016 Lynn's Catfish Calendar [LCC] thread is here on TFF Catfishing page 1 or 2 currently. May was just posted early morning of the 3rd.
Wish you the Best! Remember two basic keys, Patience & Endurance!

To find out more of the Calendar & items related, it is best to comb thru the links to the Catfish Calendar threads of each year to pool together the info.

Same here on the Guadalupe. Bank fished and only ended up with 2 about pound 1/2 each. Only a couple of good hard bites but no hookups on them. Bait would disappear and never see a bite.
My personal best is still swimming out there just getting bigger. One of these days I will quit feeding it.

Any day on the water with family is a WIN all in it's self. Side Note: Getting skunked makes the good days a whole lot better!
