Deep

Deep water fishing targets bass holding offshore in depths typically greater than 10 feet. It relies on techniques like drop shotting, dragging football jigs, or using deep-diving crankbaits to reach fish near structure or bait schools. Mastering this approach helps anglers find and catch bass that others overlook.
