shooting dancers at erie.....

Made it out to east harbor today, did some dock shooting w/the crappie dancers, on a 1/80th head under a small ice fishing float.....was using a 2 tone green snake river sent me....caught about 20 crappie, several good gills, & a bass.....was an extreemly fun day, gonna go "perching" again tomorrow and saturday, may try and get to shoot docks once more if time allows....the dancers are awesome dock shooting plastics, hold up very well also, def an idea shooting plastic .....hope every ones doing great weekend, God bless.

nice report jeep

I have been dock shooting for about 12-14 yrs and just recently tried with a float, man if the dock isnt 6ft off the water I dont stand a chance, float seems to "fly" up. sometimes I feel I can hit a keyhole with my 1/32 ozers but I give up with a float.

thank you Jeep report by know the dancer is awesome it looks terrific in the water is such smallmouth Bass I cut the other evening hit it like a ton of bricks so I know they are definitely fish producers we will be getting more these made up in definitely send you some more looking forward in hearing more on the dancer.

Great report. Glad you had fun.

@ justanothjoe......I don't get to dock shoot a lot, my home lake has no docks on it & most lakes I frequent have none either.....so when I get the chance I jump....I have honestly always shot them with a very small float & a 80th head, but I'm still learning....I enjoy shooting docks when I get the chance.....

James sounds like youve had fun!!!!

man that would be awesome.....Id like to fish w/some one who actually knows how to shoot docks, im a hack at it honestly.....but wait...no floats :eek:........ha ha ha, we may head south in the spring if things go right....would love to put jr (and my self) on some of them southern slabs

we went out today and did somthing we NEVER do......we took one box with slip floats, split shots & hooks, 2 fishing rods and a bucket of minnows....no trolling rods/racks.....no cranks...no jigs/jig heads....just the basics....we sat on some brush and caught the heck out of them, nothing huge but we had some solid fish.....was a nice change of pace from the usual for us....back to the basics I guess....but was pretty fun to watch the ole slip float slowly head for the deeps.....was fun to watch jr having such a good time....he kept me out way past my bed time (midnights), but he didnt have to twist my arm to bad ha ha ha....any how sorry SNAKE no plastic reports ha ha , but we sure did have a good time, have a great one all, God bless!!

if your gonna be close to Bama I would be glad to take yall anytime. spring would be prime time

@justanothjoe....man that would be awesome, if its looking good in the spring I will pm you a few weeks ahead of time and we will see what we can do, what lakes you close to??

Logan Martin, Lay lake, lake Mitchell, and Alabama River about an hour away

awesome....will pm you when times closer if it works out for us, your the man
