Question

[sooners08]

I will be fishing off a dock that is in 20 feet of water. Would shad like baits like the sexee tail shad be good to use or should I stick with tubes? Minnows will also be in use. Thanks.

I'd use all three, and let the fish tell me what was on their menu for the day.

you could try a slip float rig with a double hook set up . Use a minnow on the top and a jig on the bottom. As the minnow struggles it will dance the jig a little. Just keep changing the depth to look for them. You can fish right next to the dock or cast out with a slip float rig. That way you can cover all depths and every where you can cast to.Your presenting two baits at once .

Start out with light jig head 1/32 and 4 lb test ......8 to 10 deep and watch for the line to slack .....drop it a foot at a time until you get bit .....all 3 items you mentioned should work ......gulp brand crappie nibbles on the jig ....tube or sexy shad .....good luck to ya
