So rat him out. How does he do it?

Seems to me that unless fish are breaking on top, almost all the fish I get are at a single sweet spot where the plug or jig approaches 2 o'clock. That might be OK in the canal, but plenty of other places I fish have specific structure that is not at that sweet spot.

My sense is that I am passing over fish, but my plug or jig is ineffective except when it hits that one sweet spot. Likewise, holding a plug and letting it work against current nabs an occasional fish, but the plug covers very little ground. I'm curious if people do better dropping back slowly, or pulling fast against the current.
