re: Deep water bass fishing

Growing up, I spent many weekends there at a friends camp, which, if I remember the local nomenclature, was in the "Plum Orchard" area.
One time we were there, and this guys whole family was pretty much there, and there were a BUNCH of them - maybe 40-50 people or so. None of them were great fisherman/had never caught much out there. They spent ALOT more time swimming/skiing that kinda thing (that they were great at...bunch of them could barefoot, and REALLY slalom), as that was their thing.
Anyway, I was just farting around off the dock, throwing a little chrome rattle trap, and caught three bass - I'm talking turds right, MAYBE 10 inches long - in less than 5 minutes. I'd catch one, do the old "hold it up and yell back to the folks up on the deck/hold the fish up/do a little brag pose", then flip him back into the lake.
I had to give up my hot spot though, because within 2 minutes of catching that third bass, I must have have had 10 kids, all under the age of 10, beating the water off the end of that boat dock to death. There we kids EVERYWHERE, lures and rods flying everywhere, couple of kids whacked in the head with a fishing pole, which meant a couple of kids crying at all times, several of them were throwing H and H's with the hooks taken out for obvious safety reason, so that should tell you how old these kids were. Was freakin chaos. Good times though.

Carolina rig a worm and use the naked rage.

Where we fish I like to used a Tiger Stipe Bandit 200. It good for 7 to 8 feet deep.

Shakey head worm fished on the shakey head stand up jig hooks. Absolutely deadly in the deep water I fish.

Don't be afraid to try a single blade spinner bait. You will need it to be heavy, at least 1/2 if not 3/4 oz.

Just cause its deep doesn't mean thats where they are at. The must (usually) need to be by some structure or cover by creek channels, ditches, drains, humps, ridges. Unless is a giant grass bed but that probably wouldnt grow in more than 15ft of water depending on water clarity.
I'd definitely idle around with some electronics or if you can get a topo map that would work too. Find some of these spots.
Dropshot is killer if you find them. I would use a C-rig to find them or a large crankbait, but you need to find structure first.
You can try some topwater early morning or late evening depending on what the banks looks like.

Killer grass flats on Bistineau.
One of my favorite lakes to fish around here.

If you head northwest you will run into a cove named Titus's crotch, Stay to the east as you will want to be in the far right finger of the bayou. This is where you will find a shallow hump of grass leading to a deeper channel. You can thank me later.
