This is probably a really stupid question, but whenever I am fishing from a boat for bass I tend to fish around cover and near shallow water. Then when watching videos on youtube I often see the person fishing right in the middle of the lake. Is there something I'm really missing out on? What do you use to fish in the middle of a lake and deep water.
I am a primarily shore fisher, so I'm not as educated in boat fishing. Please tell me about why and when to fish deep(middle of a lake) and when to fish shallow.
