I would guess a castnet, but those things are hard to shoot under a dock.

I'd guess trolling a road runner has seem to have caught more than a few of us....

I think spearfishing is out. Too much filet damage.

I've lost interest. I like my old techniques. :p

i have lost interest too. my ways catch enough fish for me .

Don't loose interest yet. Give me some feedback on the questions on page 1. Pictures or Video would certain stir this NEW Technique.

More Questions:

3.What do the crappie do when you add a scent to the water around them?? Do they come to it or do they scatter from the area.

4.What happens when you hit the dock with your boat? Does that ring the dinner bell because one might expect small insects to be dislodged from the dock, which in turn fall into the water. OR do the fish scatter and become weary.

More to Come!!!!!! Remember Patience !!!!!!!!!!

cb327,

Dude, what are you selling? I'll enjoy watching you get flamed if you're spamming this BB. This ought to be interesting.

That's a good one Jig!

Well

are you gonna cough it up soon?!?!

It can't be a trained Crappie, I have the only one...look below and see Her picture.

CB327 ain't got nutin nu, but just is just an attention seeker!

My .02 for the following questions:
1. Is it neccessary to shoot or skip a jig under the docks to catch fish? Yes, skip it under the dock on the shady side.

2.Is there another technique that does not require that much skill. I guess there could be...if you can think of one let us all know.

3.Which way do you think a crappie positions itself on a piece of structure like a dock? My answer to this would be...any way the fish wants to...I do not think fish have any certain way of "hanging out"

4. Crappie facing the shore and when you shoot a jig under a dock the jig comes to the fish in a natural presentation from the shore....My answer would be this: crappie feed looking up and can usually see aprox 5 foot in front of them...depending on the clarity of the water. So I think as long as you present the jig in a manner the crappie can see it it should not matter what direction you cast or shoot your bait.

5. Crappie facing horizontal to a depth contour under the dock and they notice the bait as it swings by....see above.

6. Crappie facing the vertical or horizontal structure on a dock or bridge....see above.

7. What do the crappie do when you add a scent to the water around them?? Do they come to it or do they scatter from the area?
....my 02...I would have to say they would come to it, as crappie are curious creatures by nature, but if the scent stinks I don't think they would want to smell it. Catfish on the other hand like things that smell bad as they are the clean up crew and eat things that are dead or dying. Crappie tend to like clean live looking bugs or bait fish and such.

8. What happens when you hit the dock with your boat? It makes noise with little to no affect on the fish.

9.Does that ring the dinner bell because one might expect small insects to be dislodged from the dock, which in turn fall into the water. Yes.

10. Do the fish scatter and become weary. No, not for long...they come back to their comfort zone.
