That can get tricky when it’s windy, so sometimes you just have to go with the way the boat is drifting. On very windy days, face into the wind and cast at whatever angle you can find that will get your jig to the bottom, then let the wind help keep your lure moving but always maintain contact with the bottom. You may need to let out line to do that. Once the lure gets too far back it will naturally ride up and lose the bottom so you have to reel in and repeat.

You’re right on the topwater casting, but it’s not as critical that a surface lure move with the current (although it helps). Fish stage at different places around points, but when they’re feeding they’re usually closest to the “rip,” that is the area where either the current or the wind causes the water to start rippling. Try fan casting on either side, but that rip is the best strike zone. If there is cover such as rocks, etc. cast up-current so the lure comes popping downstream very close to the cover.

Good luck!

Topwater: cast upcurrent and work lure downstream? right?
WHen fishing Tolley Point, and the tide is going out, are the fish on the north side of the point, facing upstream/upcurrent like on the BB rocks?
are the rock sitting south of the bar, or just off the bar and over the ledge in deeper water, downstream?
If so, do i position the boat over the deeper edge water, caset upcurrent, and let the jig drop off from the point, into the deeper water?

Thanks,
