Dock Bass Con't  Boat
control will also be key to fishing docks. Use the wind to your advantage and slowly drift
up to docks, paying careful attention not to bump into them. I try not to use the electric
motor too much if I am close to the structure as I have found that the noise and vibration
will spook these shy fish. If you must use your electric, make sure it is on the lowest
setting you can get by with. Casting a shadow across the area you intend to fish should be
avoided, as should making loud noises or clattering around in the boat.
 Tools of the Trade
Flipping gear is the route to go for most dock situations. Use stout rods
and heavy lines in order to horse the fish out of this heavy cover quickly. The one time I
scale down my equipment is under severe cold fronts. During these tough times I prefer to
use spinning gear with light line to trigger these negative fish.
The baits to use for docks are universal and common. My preference
is to throw flipping jigs, lizards or tubes for most applications. If the fish are
aggressive then I choose heavier baits with a faster drop and lighten up for the more
finicky fish. Small twister tails and grubs have been my "go to" bait for
severely inactive fish for the past few years.
Try knocking on docks this year for big old bass. The technique is simple
and the fish are plentiful - what better way to put a smile on an anglers face? |
