I know lots of you are dock shoots, that's the reason I came here...lol I'm wanting to learn to shoot docks. I have two rods that came from Walmart made by Shakeseare they are Mico Graphite 5'6'' light action, 4 to 8 pound line. The reel I have on it is a Pflueger Trion also a 4 to 8 pound.
I can't hit squat with this rig. I set a 3 gallon bucket on it's side about 15 feet or so from me while I'm sitting in a chair.
I've shot like this for two evening about a hour each time, and I might have hit the bucket 3 times...lol. I've read every thing about how to do it, but I can't get the timing down on the release with line and jig. The jig always hit the ground in front of me. Can someone help me? The rod seems to limber and whippy to me, but what do I know. Any help would be appreciated very much....
