Next time put a small fly like a red or black chironomid below a Hali jig or small 5 of diamonds.
Lower to the bottom then ultra slowly raise it up to 3 feet from bottom. Tightly jiggle the hook as it is raised. Set on any resistance.
Your motion was not optimal to trigger an escaping prey response.
Think how a chironomid wiggles as it slowly drifts towards the surface. Think like a bug.
