Dock fishing tips needed!?

Question

I have not fished off a dock in a while so now I have forgotten what kind of artificial bait to use! Is it the same as inshore fishing off a boat? Oh and the dock is in the bay.

Answer 1

When you say bay, Im thinking saltwater, so use fiddler crabs, or mullet minnows, for drum,sheepshead,& flounder. Catchem up!!!!!

Answer 2

I've used a white bucktail/red head with some luck and different kinds of spoons - letting them flutter down then jerking them back up - repeat

also various jigs work depending on what kind of fish you're after... you can check the fishing reports for that area alot of times they will tell you what they are hitting on.

There is always frozen or cut bait too...
