It is especially true in the canal driftin eels. Its like what, is there one f'n fish sittin there just waitin for somethin to go by and then thats it? We race to be the first one with an eel in the water at each spot.
Fish are strange creatures with tails.

If you're lucky I'll have to go potty and leave you unattended for a few minutes.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

A simple change of plugs often negates the one fish wonder spot effect. You may have to rotate several to keep busy.

Why even try.........

I hear ya Flap. Its true with plugs , but if they won't take an eel there's likely nobody(big) home. Have sometimes switched from an eel to plug and taken fish too. Used to rotate rebel-needle-nils master @ chatham inlet and it worked well. Of course you could bounce a single sand eel and hammer them all night if they were there.
