The flathead I was catching were in the back of the cove and pretty shallow about 4 feet deep using perch for bait. Jugging is pretty easy it is usually done on the the mud flats around 10 to 15 feet of water and the bait about 4 to 5 foot deep, if your using live bait I would use a sinker on the line to keep the bait at the right depth. Using jugs in coves works pretty well on cut shad but when using live bait they will find the nearest tree to wrap your line around and get snagged. Hope this helps, anymore stuff you want to know you can PM me. Have a nice day!
