FishingMN

I've noticed that too lately. I am new to offshore deep water fishing, but a few weeks ago on some rock humps and points I managed to squeak out a fish or two or 3 per outing using either a dropshot or a deep diving crankbait. Now the last 4 outings, as hard as I've tried, I haven't hardly had anything. 20+ hours of fishing and really only 2 fish to show for it is hard work. I tried carolina rigs, and football jigs, too. Also nothing. The depth I am targeting is 12 to 22 probably, with rock, in a lake that has some fairly heavy green color to the water. My baits disappear from visibility within 2-3 feet of the surface of the water. Have they moved or is my presentation bad? I am getting frequent nibbles from smaller fish biting off the tails of the roboworms/dreamshot. Even the occasional crappie. I am just so new to this deep water fishing my confidence isn't high enough to know if the issue is presentation, bait, or location. Punch, does that mean the bass are suspended or that they are coming up off the 10' bottom to bite your bait at 4'? I've had real trouble lately getting a bite. Maybe I am fishing too low? Also what is your water clarity and when you say 10' of water mid lake humps, is that the highest point on the hump that you are fishing, or partway down the side? Grass edge or rock? The deep water bite is still a mystery to me.
