I love shooting docks. It is my favorite way to catch crappie. The only problem with that is that nobody else that fishes with me can do it. It has really been a difference maker on several trips in the past two years on whether you caught fish or not. On two trips this spring, I caught quite a few crappie shooting docks while the others in the boat literally caught nothing because they could only fish the edges. I would have rather them catch the fish instead of me but I really didn't know of any other way to put fish in the boat those days.
