Center pin help

To start I know I’m not fishing actual steel head but figure this sub would help. I have a center pin rod and reel I’ve been fishing finger lake tributaries for the last 5 years. Out of those 5 years I’ve only caught 2 trout that are about 10 inches. I’m getting very frustrated I’ve tried jigs, beads, soft beads, egg sacs I try to be ticking the bottom. I’ve tried short leaders long leaders. I’m using 4lb leader. Any help last time out I fished for 5 hours without a single bite .
