Just make sure us dock shooters can get a clear shot at the fish under your dock. I hate snagging my jigs on your hanging stuff.

Yea, I was having a lot of trouble with dock shooters tearing my mooring lines and had one tear a hole in my high pressure gas line to the motor. Also had problems with them ripping holes in my pontoon cover. Got very tired of having to buy new mooring lines every six months. After the gas line was holed I hung a dog chain across my slip, about 10' from the rear of the slip, three foot deep so my pontoon logs would pass over it. I seldom needed to replace mooring ropes after that. I also received some nice jigs and lures every few months when I would pull it out to check it.
My current slip has a lift in it which works better than a dog chain. It's extremely had to get through the lift without hanging up so most dock shooters only fish the slip one time
