You should slow your roll a bit. A simple post search of yours show you have not been bass fishing long at all. No need to crack on other guys.

I used straight hooks, jig hooks, flipping hooks, circle hooks, trokars, eagle claws,gamagatsus, wide gaps, offsets, #2,#3,#4,#5,#6, circle hooks, swim bait hooks, weighted and unweighted, and treble hooks.....
Since you asked.....

Some lakes fish that way at certain times for certain anglers, I know I've had my dry spell on my home lake before.

Fish docks with a wacky worm or senko near points and drainage pipes you will catch some fish I like to use junebug .

That pattern works great for one guy. No so good for 50 guys over 3 days.

The quote from one pro was
"Fished 2000 docks and not a bite.....they all look the same"
Working docks is tough.....

Yeah definitely works better when the winds aren't steady at 25 and you don't have 52 pros with 200 boats following them along with the normal crowd.

Very good point, not all docks on Lake Conroe hold fish, i know where there are several that meet all the requirements to be quality docks, and have never caught a fish off of them...mind you i am no pro, but can skip a bait pretty well with a baitcaster or spinning rod, to no avail. I'm sure the amount of fishing pressure the lake has seen in the last 3 months didn't help either!
