Well my friends Saturday was nothing to brag about. Put in at Holly Park on Soddy Lake. Water temp in mid to upper 50’s. Only one small blue catfish hitting docks there.
Sunday I finally caught some crappie. Not a large amount by others standards but for me it was great. Total 6 crappie. Two would have been keepers. One very small bass. And one perch.

i didn’t take pics of everything. But had a fun day:fish
Days like that will get you addicted to shooting docks.
I am glad you got into them.
Considering how cloudy it was this weekend those docks should produce more fish on sunny days..
Anyday on the water is good day.
Definitely addicted already. I tried vertical jigging at Wolftever. Had nothing. But then again was very windy today alsoQuote:

A mess of those yellow perch are some good eating. They mix in with crappie at times. If you pulled it fro under a dock it was either on deeper water or really close by deep water
Blue Ice has been a good color for me latelyQuote:

I like sunny days for dock shooting. They concentrate the under the docks in the shadows more. Those same dock should produce well on the bright days. I had gotten a new rod and went to shoot it under the floating dock at the boat launch. I believe the dock was sitting on the mud the water is drawn down so far.
Water is definitely down a lot. Docks that would be deep are in about 1 to 2 fow can def right now. Lots of grass showing to. Can definitely see the downed trees and brush. For me it is all a learning experience anyway. From talking to several people fish were not abundant anywhere today. But I do wonder if I catch the same dock twice does it count as one or two? :Rofl
I say it counts how ever much the fella that is telling the story says
Nice catches and I am diggin them old jungle boots!! :cheers2
I agree with Grainraiser, any day on the water is a good one.
Hey those catfish are Rockstars when you dockshooting for fun rather than a meal. Great day for sure.
