How To Fish Docks (Everything You Need To Know)
From which docks hold all the fish, to which baits you should you throw, we're covering everything you need to know about dock fishing! Don't waste time fishing the wrong docks. Don't fish the pilings in the wrong order and catch less fish! Dock fishing is full of subtle nuances that really matter and today we're going to help you eliminate all the guess work.
The next time you're going to fish around docks remember the fine details in today's video. Fish older docks. Fish corner docks and docks at the ends of long runs of similar structures. Focus on docks that are up off the water so you can skip back under them. When it comes to pilings, focus on the closest pilings to you first, then work your way to the farthest pilings.
Fishing docks requires some very unique gear. Below you'll find links to the exact baits we recommend. We've also included details like our favorite sizes, colors, and any rigging components you'll need. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
