    Default Weiss dock shooting


    I got to spend time this weekend trying to learn the technique it took a humbling learning curve practice practice practice.
    when I figured out the right distance the jig had to be the. Bingo the light bulb went off! Here is a picture of two 12+" fish had a 14"'and one wrapped me was maybe the fish of the weekend! I stoked over this dock shooting ! Sorry for the upside down pic . Can't figure out this new fangled I phone!

    12, 14 and above are nice slabs! Congrats. (Suggestion: upload to photobucket.com and edit / rotate.)
    Looked like a beautiful day to be fishing.

    Good deal on the trip. Extra tough catching them standing on your head I bet.

    Something else I forgot to mention.... The Hi vis. Line...when I sprayed line conditioner on it it rally made a difference ...I was experiencing some line twist and the spray really relaxed the line. I stuck with 6 lb. started to go to 4lb on the 1/32 heads but the 1/24th head was the head weight that worked best...when jig stopped and sank, I would count to 3 and start reeling... Some fish flat thumped it some were sleepers...were just there...maybe a mushy feeling and the line would move! One would be on ! I had more misses high and wide than anything...but as the day went on and my confidence grew I could go through tiny little openings in the cross bracing! I would picture where I though a fish might be...and if I hit the spot ...1 out of three...but was improving as the day went on, I would catch a fish...one more thing early in the morning the fish were in front of most docks with brush...as the sun got up they would move back! Later. LB
