Mastering Dock Fishing: A Seasonal Guide Dock fishing holds a special place in the hearts of many anglers. The thrill of casting under the shade of a dock, anticipating the strike of a lurking bass, is unparalleled. However, understanding the nuances of dock fishing across seasons is key to maximizing success. Let's embark on a journey through the seasons, unraveling the secrets of dock selection at different times of the year.

It’s probably happened to most anglers while fishing in mid to late autumn.  Walleyes, crappies, perch and smallmouth are in deeper water than usual.  Every now and then we see on the sonar what we think is a fish.  Then it bites.  It is a fish!  It’s then that we realize:  Fishing in mid to late fall and early winter can be a bit like ice fishing.  Here’s how you can take advantage of that realization.

The 2022 fishing season is in the books. In conversations with anglers over the past few weeks, several observations have been presented more often than others. Some of these probably can’t be answered with any degree of accuracy, but to this angler, they’re interesting and worthy of some thought. Following are a couple of those observations.

The sport of fishing, including the lures we use and the way we present them, are constantly changing.  Two of my personal favorite ways to catch fish over the years involved vertical presentations, one for  walleyes and the other for bass.  Recently, however, I have made adjustments to those presentations and seem to be catching more fish as a result of those adaptations.  Here is a look at those changes.

It is certainly no secret to most anglers that largemouth bass during fall become very susceptible to moving baits.  As weed cover starts to die and dwindle, moving baits become easier to work along and through fish holding areas and their aggressive nature keys in on the fall feeding binge bass go on.  Here is a look at one of my favorite fall moving baits and good ways to fish it.

Fall is my favorite time of year for lots of reasons.  Hunting seasons are starting, football teams are playing, and, of course, the fishing can be top notch now too!
