Going for one day with my 10 year old daughter. Is general parking fine or is it better to do shuttle? Shuttle parking is at the mall it sounds like?

I’ve been learning how to fish for about three years with no prior experience, mostly because my son wanted to go but I’m hooked too. Prior to this though I never held a fish or hooked a worm. I’ve learned how to tie knots, rig all the popular rigs like Texas, ned, wacky, chatter etc. and use the techniques I see on YouTube. I try to understand fish behavior and by season and where to try to find them. I go to ponds and lakes that are stocked and have seen others catch fish. I have every plastic and lure you can think of. I have ugly stiks because they are easy and the kids use them too so I know they are unlikely to break. I’d say 99% of the time I don’t catch anything. My son has caught multiple blue gill and he finally caught a bass last week which is what he wants to catch. I was so happy for him because he learns from me and I spend so much time trying to learn how to be successful so I can teach him correctly and give him a chance to catch something. When I fish with the kids I mostly focus on them so I don’t fish much, when I go out on my own I’ve never I mean never have caught a fish, and I’ve gone out many many times. There have been many outings with the kids with no catch. I enjoy fishing and I don’t really get too down on myself because it’s nice to be out there and share a hobby with the kids. It’d be nice to catch a bass one day though. What could I be missing? Am I expecting too much because all I see on social media is people catching fish all the time? I just had AI map out every place that has record of bass and the best criteria for being a good lake or pond in hopes I go to better places to try.
