You would think the bait would do so but many, many, times I find the bait is working against the current and moving in that direction. Back in the herring fishing days we always would want to be on the downside of the herring run. The side where the herring would have to work against the tide to get into the run. It was always way more productive and when the tide switched we would move to the other side.
I have other situations where I prefer to work against the current. I luv to work spooks and pencils when I am in the boat drifting or especially when anchored up against the current. When fishing top water in the canal you are quite often fishing them against the current unless something hits it quick out in the middle.
