I pretty much agree with Rob here. Everyone is an expert at catching fish from 0-10 feet of water, so that's where the big fish are caught.

And although a lot of people do fish deep, they always seem to be throwing small fish baits. Drop shotting, dragging a split shot, etc... For example, at Calero my standard strategy is to drag a 4 inch worm in 20 ft for numbers of small bass and throw jigs up shallow for quality. But I almost never throw jigs down at 20 feet or the split shot rig in 3 feet. Now that I think of it, the few times I do throw jigs deep at Calero I catch quality fish.

Learning how to catch quality fish deep is a constant goal of mine. It shouldn't be so hard. Heck, 20 feet is only the length of your average bass boat.
