i've gotten results doin it bassakwards.. but i really only do it in narrow water, mostly under bridges.

i would plop it as close to me as possible and then let the crrent just take it.. when i felt it was far enough i would stop it, and let the current work it in that one spot for a while. if anything was gonna take it, it would scoop it up right after i stopped it. caught a few with this method on shads. i think it resembles a fish that got over powered and rested, thus being swept down current. and (if there is a fish there) looks like it got spooked and decided to try and make a swim for it. under a bridge i try and stop it right on the other side of the bridge. hoping fish are waiting on the outer edges for anything being washed through.

i spend alot of time watching small bait fish, and noticed they LOVE swimming against the current while feeding. they just swim and swim and pick off any little treats (krill and such) that gets swept at them. much like bass do. i figure bass know this and wait for one to get to tired and swept away from the pack.
