Dock Shootin for Crappie!!!!
On the main page of Crappie.com is a great article titled
Dock shootin with Terry Blankenship
I read it and watched some videos and I am curious, after fishing with you guys for a couple years now, I have never heard of any of you mention shooting docks. Does it not work as good as they claim? is not as productive as fishing piles? If you do enjoy shooting docks, lets here some stories. What is the best gear, best time of year and so on. if you dont like it, please say why.

Hey man, we fish docks and yes it works. Any lake that has docks will hold crappie. Now not all the docks will have crappie under them but trust me you fish them and you will run across a few. To dock shoot you need a 4-6 ft. Medium action rod. 4 or 6 pound Hi-Vis line and normally some type of action bait (curly tail or a slider grub). Try to get that bait as far under the dock as you can and try different speeds. Some times those crappie are going to be 1 ft. under the water, in the middle or on the bottom. Dock shooting can be done year round especially if your lake has docks in 8-15 ft. of water or docks close to the river or creek channel. I hope this helped.

Thanks Roper!!! I have never tried it, but it sure looks like fun. I am gonna head to Bass Pro this weekend and buy a couple set ups for it and start practicing my aim.

I have a special rod and do shoot them. Problem around here there aren't too many docks.
