If you are in waters that are much less than 10 feet, it is likely that the fish will be spooked from beneath the boat.
In such cases, it makes more sense to anchor away from the structure and cast to the shallow strucutre.

p.s.
If you are drifting a river, especially with current, you can often catch fish beneath the boat, much shallower - if the current is relatively swift.

Howevr, in the relatively calm of inland lakes, the presence of a large strucutre, like a boat - intruding on the shallow domain of your neighborhood walleye, will likley have him packing his bags and scooting off down the lake.

Take care
