Real good question.
With many of the places I've frequented in my fishing career I've observed resident fish as your question suggests. I typically experience this during the summer months when seasonal fish show up and hang out in an area. Many times I've taken a large fish on the first or second cast in a spot, then nothing for the rest of the night. Come back the next night and same thing. When I did a lot of boat fishing on the outer cape in the shallows, large single fish would sit on specific pieces of bottom such as mussels or pronounced humps . You could drift over the spot, see the single fish on patrol and then catch it. After the fish was taken off the piece of structure another one would take its place within two or three tide changes. Usually they were very large fish too. 40 plus pound stuff.
