My first guess is that you have an air bubble trapped on the bottom
plate, disrupting the current flow around that region of the gel.
What kind of a gel setup do you use? The older ones that formed the
bottom by putting a spacer inside the plates were prone to this. In the
"olden days" we used to keep either a syringe with a bent needle or a
"bent" pasteur pipet around so that we could squirt buffer up into that
space after putting the gel in the tank in order to flush the bubbles
away.
