I shoot docks regularly once the specks move out after the spawn. A great tactic to use from these types of watercraft. Whereas skipping can be tough from kayaks, canoes, etc, due to sitting so low and having the hull/body of the craft right next to you, shooting docks and overhanging trees is very easy. Nothing to interfere with trying to cast a low swinging cast as you might when skipping. just pull up in front of the dock sitting perpendicular to the end or side of the dock to which you want to shoot you lure. Pull it back and let er go. I use shooting for lures from 1/80oz up to 1/32 and it works. Works great all summer for me.
It is not about the equipment you have to use,
It is about how you use the equipment you have. :D
