Warbird Outdoors "Team Tournament Series"

 I've been watching the pros on tv fishing deeper water.  I'm looking for some spots near occoquan or leesylvania that are worth giving a shot because I don't have faith in my depthfinder when it comes to showing me whether or not there are fish in the area. I have the GMCO maps so if i could get some help I'd really appreciate it. Also, can you just fish them like you would fish the bank? Texas rig a lizard or drop shot? Thanks.
