DrNip are you shooting under the dock or just in the slips? I love shooting under docks but I didn't think any of the marinas had large enough gaps under them. when they first built that covered fishing dock at little axe and the park was closed for renovations I would shoot under it in the small gaps and just wore out the crappie for a few months during the summer but once it was open to the public I haven't gone back cuz there is always someone on it. there is nothing like shooting a jig all the way under a dock and not even feeling the bite, just seeing the line jump, and then working the fish out. so much fun

I was shooting anywhere I could get my jig. Mostly between the boats and the dock and all the way to the inside of the dock under the lip, towards the bow of the boats. I would let the jig fall for a bit and then gradually reel it back. I would either get a thump immediately or on the reel back. I wasn't there that long but next time I go back I will be there 1st thing.

I've shot the Little Axe dock too but you have to get there early on a Wednesday or else it is crowded!

Here is a pic of the 1st one I got off the marina.

how deep of water are the slips you are fishing? ill be out there tomorrow and might swing by there and check it out

I want to say in the neighborhood of 20' or so on both marinas.

good deal. I appreciate it

Talking to the "regulars" at Little River Marina the last couple of days, the only dock producing any fish to speak of is the outer most dock. I know I haven't had a nibble in my slip since before last weeks temperature roller coaster.

I did not know that could be done, and can't seem to figure out how. Care to share ?

I have it circled in red where you can roll back time.

I tried to go back to April of 07 when it was about 2 ft lower than 11 but of course, no picture for that time.

Anyone ever tried pulling cranks at the bird?
