Salmo makes a lure called a Giant Chubby. Might be of some interest if you need a lure that gets down deep.Alot of play on words here

Dont waste your money on the night stalkers. Try to get yourself some cowboys like Z said.

lurch, i also would highly recommend tattoo's diving swimmer. i fished it last year to the point where i never left w/o one or 2 in my bag. that's how confident i was in that lure. i fished it in a 4-8' heave late last fall, was kicking stones up to 6" of the shoreline, and had to pull the lure from the water it dug in that well. i was getting down 6'+ easily. how? bend the eye of the lure up as much as you need to get the desired results. you will not be disappointed. even stock out of the package, the diving swimmer goes down about 3-5' depending on the surf conditions.

I think for most surfcasting scenarios a tattoo swimmer will work great but I am thinking of certain locations in the canal where I want to get down quick. The problem is with a medium swimmer, the current will take the lure before it gets down to the depth I feel the fish are at.

I bought some tattoo divers and have not used them yet but with lure adjustments I should be able to get them down far enough.

On a swimmer bend the eyelet up an the lip up this will make it dig good u want more depth add a heavier front treble like a heavy owner.A bottle plug will get u to those dephts ur lookin for also.Worked well for me in similar scenario to the canal.

I don't think you'll find a deep diver that will hang in the current at the ditch and still come back to you in one piece. With the current and the lip... that plug would get down and very likely snag as you pulled it up the embankment.... I could be wrong... but isn't that why we have storms and the like?
