Fishing Boats Docks

April 3, 2007 |



Tip! As time pass by, expect more innovations and developments in the bass fishing boats. All of these are for one purpose—to help the anglers catch their prey in an easier and convenient way.

When I was a kid, a way long time ago, there was this old man who fished Buckeye Lake and caught more bass than anyone I knew at the time. His bass fishing technique was to fish boat docks. His lures were all beat up, most of them missing paint and some were even bare wood from hitting them on the docks so many times. His bass fishing tip to me was to fish boat docks and to fish them thoroughly.

Boat docks produce shade and bass feel secure in low light areas. Docks also provide a place for bass to ambush their prey. Sometimes when you see rod holders and lights at a dock there’s a chance there’s some kind of structure there too. Maybe a brushpile or rocks that the owner has produced. Use your trolling motor to get close to the dock or just drift up to it and flip or pitch your lure.

Tip! All-Purpose Fishing Boats These boats are intended for those who fish for just about everything. They can be made of aluminum, wood, or fiberglass and sizes usually range from 15 to 20 feet (4.

Some good lures for fishing for bass at boat docks are a jig, worm, crankbait and spinnerbait. Of course, you want to throw as far back under the dock as you can but make sure on the retrieve that the lure bumps the dock’s post as it goes by them. The erratic behavior of the lure sometimes produces a strike. If you’re using a crankbait, you can bend the eye and make it run under the dock or use a coffin-bill lure. While the lure doesn’t run true it does get farther under the boat dock where the bass are.

Boat docks are one of my favorite places to bass fish and apparently the bass like them too.

Charles E. White has fished for bass for over 50 years. In that amount of time he has caught more than 6,000 bass with his biggest one weighing in at 12 pounds 14 ounces. The most he has caught was 76 bass in 3 hours at a lake he has fished many times. Nothing like that ever happened before or since at that lake.
