I use a Navionics app to scout out deep water docks
Mouth of Lick up toward Sugar. I would stay in the river.
My first time shooting docks was OK BUT the 5-10 mph wind was actually 15-20 from the east. We did learn much and caught a few fish. We learned that 4 pound line is not good. Lightwire hooks are a must IF you have 6 pound line. 1/24 hooks worked better than 1/32. Big body jigs worked better for this type fishing. Orange jig heads worked best and color jib body had to have some Chartreuse in it. Wind went down at lunch but trolling motor issues sent us home early. Saw a lot of fish on brush but we did not take a minnow.
Going back Monday and this time I am going to Sinclair just for grins and giggles. Oh yea, taking a few minnows this time for a plan B.
Good job ! Drop some those jigs in da brush they will eat those too!
yes jigs with a little slab sauce . some time they like a smaller jig i always
try them both.

I use Anus Oil also. It comes from the anus of a certain kind of carp. It is a little pricey but it works. Good luck fishing.
Actually I think he meant Anise Oil. I was just kidding.
I am sure glad you didnt say it was home brewed. Sure sounded like it could have been painful :biggrin
You guys are killing me...:Rofl
It’s a real good lubricant for when things (jigs) dry out. Makes them slick as eel in barrel of snot.......
