Shooting docks during the early to midday hours. Docks contain the most prevalent shade & cooler water temps (+ cover & an ambush point for attacking roaming schools of baitfish).

Casting jigs to blowdowns & shoreline cover on shady banks ... from daylight until no shade present over the cover.

Fishing at night, either under lights on your boat or around docks with large lights on the sides & just above the surface of the water.

Fishing bridge pillars ... since they offer shade, draw baitfish, block current, and sometimes collect sunken wood debris at their base (cover/shelter).

In most all of these cases, I also employ a technique that I call "Vertical Casting" ... explained in this article : Crappie Pappy Article
