Docks
The spots were suspending under docks anywhere from the dirt to around 10-15 feet. I started out with a weightless wacky rig, and they wouldn't eat it until it had hit the bottom. I decided to switch to a neko rig to make getting to the bottom more efficient, and noticed that I got just as many, if not more bites this way. The Xzone True Center stick is a generally slower sinking bait to begin with, so for shallower docks I stuck with a weightless texas rig, and on the deeper docks I would pick up the neko rig. Skipping way up underneath pontoons and boat lifts produced bites on the shallower docks, but when it came to the deeper docks it seemed like they were suspending more on the dock posts themselves.
