I don't have alot of patience for deep water fishing either. When I get to a ledge or drop I will throw a c-rig and a dd-22.for a little bit and then move on. I guess I am more of a shallow water target fisher 0-10feet deep. I like to see the structure, then I can visualize how the fish are positioned. It would be nice to find someone who is strong at deep water fishing an go with them fo a couple days to learn first hand how to do it and how much time to invest itno a spot.
