[Gerry Zagorski]

Most catches or lack thereof aside from not fishing in a location where there are fish are driven by conditions. Not sure what your conditions were but the main reasons for not catching aside from location is the drift being too fast, too slow or worst case, in the opposite direction of the tide.

In general, you want to try and have your bait or bucktail moving the same direction and speed as the current. Fluke lay on the bottom pointed into the current looking for it to wash bait fish into them. If your bait is not moving in the same direction as the current your presentation is not natural and you might as well be sitting home of the couch.

As far as speed, if you are drifting 2 plus knots your moving too fast .5 knots or less too slow. If it's too slow you can cast your jig out and retrieve it to give it the movement you need or power drift bumping the engine in and out of gear. If too fast cast it out ahead of the direction of the drift and work it that way....

If the wind direction is against the tide you can try a drift sock to attempt to overcome the wind and get your boat drifting in the same direction of the current or you can try power drifting in the direction of the current to overcome the wind.

So, you either need to try and find a location where the wind is not going to drift your boat against the tide or cast, power drift or use a sock to try and overcome the wind and keep yourself moving in the same direction of the current.
