skipping docks
A form of art that I am yet to master with a baitcaster.

I want to shoot docks at TB soon. Know a guy that kilt them last year. I somewhat did it on a lake in Texas, but I was actually on the dock, so it doesn't count.

I was trying to skip a few docks Tuesday and bent three or four hooks from hitting the beams. I also dug out numerous bird nests. It's safe to say I suck at it

what are these baitcaster open face reels that you speak of?

Tell me how a spinning reel is more "open faced" than a baitcaster

Skipping a bait (usually a creature bait or jig) under the dock as far as you can to catch whats underneath.

quote:Bass fisherman use things like swim jigs and literally skip the lure across the surface to get under a dock. With a baitcaster, you have to deal with at least some professional overrun. In perch fishing, you use the rod as a launcher and shoot the jig under the dock.

Ah. I was picturing skipping it off the top of the dock.

Skipping your bait(jig, soft plastic, etc) on the surface of the water back up under a dock to the deep dark crevices that hold the trophy bug-eyed green trout.

quote:Did anyone say more opened faced? No. Both are open faced. If you ask me which is more open, I'd say spinning easily. There is nothing at all covering the face. Baitcasters at least have the level wind structure.

A task that I have mastered from the front of a boat. I can catch everything from lawn chairs, to tables, to other fishing poles on the dock. If there is a fish on top of someones dock, it will soon be in my livewell

What I was picturing was a very strange strategy indeed. "I guess you can haul the fish back over the dock with a strong enough line."

Some dogs on Cane River have shown a serious desire to bite the dog shite out of me as I approach my hung lure. I cut one off once.

I casted a baby brushhog into someones yard on cane river last year and had a cat (who came out of nowhere) pick it up and run with it.
