Y'all let me know if you turn into LO structure fishing wizards after watching it, or if it just causes you to drive around in circles for weeks without a rod in your hand.  ?

I catch a lot of quality LM while walleye fishing; they can be a real nuisance.

Let me know if you need any help with your nuisance fish ?

I do cuss those "green fish" at times; my point being I'm usually camped out on some deeper structure that 95% of bass fisherman only pass by while on plane.  There is a subset of fish that just prefer to steer clear of the shorelines and gravitate to these open water environs and they typically are not "dinks" .....

Relative of a friend went out catfishing the other day and had a hard time finding shad. Threw the net down a dozen times on what looked like big balls of shad on his electronics but all he brought up were bucketfulls of 4-5" bluegill.  I thought that was interesting.  

I lose faith and confidence too fast in deep water, so I can't stay with it long enough to stay on them.  If I don't get bit right away then I'm back to the shallows where I feel like I know what I'm doing.  The deep fish seem flakier than the shallow fish to me. There one day ànd gone the next for no imaginable reason.

If I were bass fishing I would likely stick to docks on LOZ as most do as the main deal but if I didn't get bit would quickly look deep due to lack of patience.  Likely the opposite pattern as you, but I am much more comfortable deeper and there is MUCH less pressure out there.  Trying to nail down a pattern on a bank I know holds fish while other boats are slipping in fore and aft is something I don't miss too much.

I would like to learn more about your deep water patterns. I enjoy fishing deep structure, just not very good at it. this leads to less confidence.
