whats your favorite baits to fish laydowns and docks from the bank? 

Strike King Rage Tail Structure Bug 

Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver

Culprit Incredi Craw 

Keitech Crazy Flapper 

Keitech Swing Impact FAT 

 

To name a few

A topwater along docks for me in the morning..popper or a buzzbait

Any top water to start with. Then the reliable wacky rigged 5" Senko. I'll dabble with other things from time to time, but being as restricted (location wise) as I am when bank fishing, I must make every cast count.

Wacky Rigged Thin senkos.

Pit Boss or a jig. Or both.

A pop r or a strike king shaky head with a trick worm or finesse worm. Or a light texas rig with a lizard.

jigs, topwater, wacky rig worms in no particular order.

4" senko wacky rigged or 4.8" flick shake wacky with a 1/8 jighead with weedguard, I Like the Jackal small wacky hooks with tungsten....

 

I also like to work a swim jig or pitch a jig this time of year, and I always have a shallow wake and floating Rapala ready to go, I find banging the small mann's wake bait off docks or buzzing the posts quickly and then throwing the worm gets them fired up for some reason....If I feel fish are still available, drop shot something made by Gulp or trigger x, or a Damiki Hydra tube soaked in megastrike, I put scent on everything including line.

a texas rig. 

Hula Popper

4-inch finesse worm

5-inch senko

3/8 oz. jig

Zoom trick worms on a shaky head plus a wacky rigged unweighted Senko or YUM Dinger.

 

A jig and pig can work wonders but that is a slow presentation.

 

A drop shot for the fun of it.

 

A Texas rigged finesse worm with a 1/8 sinker.

 

Don't forget your Rage Tail's, especially the crawfish.

 

Smear MegaStrike on all plastics to improve your hook setting ratio.

 

All on a spinning rig so it is easier to pitch, flip and skip the plastics.

Super fluke 

Senko

1/4 oz jig

Pegged pit boss for skipping docks

Frog (duh!)

5 Inch Green Pumpkin w/ flake (gold, black, red) GYCB-T-Rigged

Either Jig or Crankbait

Flipping jigs and spinnerbait and squarebills. The usual.

Lay downs sticking out of the water?

Work a rubber mouse in white or gray off the wood. Like it slipped into the water. Just be ready I find the biggest bass around the cover of lay downs.
