That is an outstanding looking dock to shoot. Down here in TX, we have a lot of docks such as that, and they all hold fish. Good luck on your shooting.
Hello,
I am a rookie dock shooter but I really enjoy it thanks to info from fellow crappie.com folks. Anyway, for other folks that are thinking about trying dockshooting, here is a shot of a dock that I caught some fish on a couple of weeks ago. You can get an idea about where you might have to shoot your jig. The fish were about 15 to 20 feet under the dock from the edge. The only place that I could catch any was the one spot shooting from the side of the dock.

I friend of mine from Wichita KS showed me how to shoot many years ago. It's a technique I've used to catch many fish in areas that "most" fishermen can't reach. Welcome to the club! Tight Lines!

Cant get that lucky here. 98% of our docks are floaters with 4-18" to work with side to side and a 12" vertical to get through. Good looking spot with a lot of shade
With pictures like that,Your making it hard for me to go to work you,:D:D
Nice pictures... next step is to shoot some video of you shooting, and we should have everyone up-to-speed. Great post!
Here is a good vid from Mr. Crappie.
I actually learned how to hold the jig while shooting. At least he says to hold onto the head of the jig and not the hook.
Check it out.
