You could get a bight as soon as the hook hits the water.
Check out the best bait to use and have a ball, just be aware that if you are like me you will probably be sitting there for hours with no bite he he he
Lucky guy may get strike at the first cast.
If you know how to fish the little 1/16 – 1/8th oz. jigs or small in line spinners, you won’t have to wait long at all. These fish love these lures. Catch a bunch!
For bass, try surface lures, live bait, and imitation bait in the morning and evening in the shallows where they feed, while using spinners, buzzbaits, and floating plugs that dive on retrieve, along with other deep diving lures in the afternoon. Throw these to the deeper part of the pond, where bass take cover in the afternoon. Make sure that your artificial bait has scent in it, usually pork fat and salt. Texas and Carolina rigs work well. Using the right lures and baits at the right times, the fish should hit pretty quickly.
For trout, salmon eggs, worms, and good ‘ol fly fishing should do the trick.

It varies. You might get a fish on your first cast as soon as the bait hits the water, or you might fish all day (or longer) without a bite. Or somewhere in between.
As for tips — if there are people there who are catching fish, ask questions and copy what they’re doing. Or ask questions at a local tackle shop before you go there. Not knowing anything more about where you’re fishing, it’s hard to give specific answers.
It all depends on the wheather conditions and the time of day. Usually the biting is better in the mornings, then it slows off in the afternoon, then fish go feeding again in the evening. And the time of day also changes how deep the fish are, which would change the type of lure ur using. With wheather conditions, ive found that bass are more aggressive on windy days bc they look for food from trees blowing and that kind of thing. Also, the type of lure u use depends on the water clarity, if its clear water, then fish use their detail sight, so they can spot flaws in ur lures easier, and when the waters cloudy they go more by shape! If ur fishing from a boat then i would try the wacky worm, (google it), and i would also us a buzzbait or a crankbait, i would also use a buzzbait if i was fishing from ground!
