I have to agree that deeper is better most times for larger fish. I was reminded last fall when early one morning fishing the canal at dawn, fish were breaking and I had some decent fish hitting pencils, not many and not better than 20 pound range, but then I hooked a bass and as it sounded and fought, it became unbuttoned, so I just popped the pencil a few times while it was down deep, and it got a nice whack and hooked a better fish high 20's low 30's, my largest to date on one of my own pencils and best plug fish for me in the canal.

Gotta have sharp hooks!
