Default Flathead help

i tried north of Regiellsville last night from 9:30-12:30 with no luck. live blugills of assorted sizes on slip sinker rigs but not even a single runoff. I was fishing pretty deep water with a strange cross-current that dragged my baits upstream. Any suggestions on what im doing wrong?

Try fishing the seam where 2 different currents meet. The fish could be sitting in the slack water right by the fast water. You just got unlucky. Right time and place is all that its about.

No reason to fish deep water this time of the year. Target 2-8ft of water above or below fast sections of water. 2oz-6oz is what I typically use bit have used up to 12oz during extreme high water periods
