Docks

[ocf]

how do you guys hit the docks i normally use a floating rapala or an xrap, i go to either cast at the side, shadow, or ocassionaly skip it under the dock. i am also about half a cast away from the docks im just trying to improve my chances when hitting the docks

i tried walking the dog around the docks because i heard this was an effective way to catch fish around the docks but it didnt catch me a fish and i was using it for about 1 and a half hours

I usually pitch jigs or tubes, and also skip senkos under and around docks. I'll also toss a spinnerbait, horny toad, or fluke to show them something thats a little different. You can be as creative as you when it comes to what you want to fish around docks.

If you look on the front page of this HSOforum there is a very informative article about fishing docks that may also help.

u can also throw crankbaits as rapala dt series and bombers along the dock...

I like tossing spinner baits at all the corners and then move in closer and flip worms to hit the backside corners and up under the dock and boats. In the evening instead of a spinner bait I will toss top waters and just let them sit and twitch. Some of my biggest bass have come from this attack

OCF, sounds like you already have most of the concept down. Just like your doing now, use a crank,jerk-bait,spinner-bait to work out-side the dock, sides front and the water in-between docks. Then use a bait that you can skip to work under the docks,lifts and pontoons. Good luck, and hold on, we all know that docks will produce a piggie now and then.

[federline]

Oh man - weightless Comida's all the way. Skip em under, and get that fish out before he wraps!

Some 20-25 years ago a 6 or 7 inch purple plastic worm(Mann's, Fliptails, or Mister Twister Phenoms) unweighted & cast under docks were my ticket to hammering the big bass.Now we have all kinds of lures to do this. I can't wait to try out the Comidas I just bought for this type of fishing.

Yes it's true Deitz out fished me in my own boat. Then he made me sign a dollar bill telling the world. I really thought it would show up by now But I want the world to know we were fishing for bullheads and Deitz caught the most... ya that's it, and Rick was there to witness it also
