➡Dock Fishing Mini-Course

Equipment Used:

Luke’s Setup

Joe’s Setup

The purpose for this trip was to test out the new Hoss Football Jigheads on this trip with the Power Prawn USA.

After I hooked into and landed a MONSTER snook that wouldn’t let up until the end, Joe’s drag started screaming!!

Both snook we landed were OVERSLOT!!

Another thing to remember when dock fishing is to properly revive the fish and bring them closer to the dock you originally found them hiding under.

Dolphins have been following fishing boats lately so they can steal released fish that are tired and gaining their strength back.

Power Prawn U.S.A. Artificial Shrimp Lures

The Power Prawn U.S.A. is my most trusted and my go-to lure for dock fishing.

These lures catch not just high quantities of fish, but also high-quality fish.

Additionally, we recently designed new Hoss Football Jigheads to pair with Power Prawn U.S.A. lures.

These jigheads were specifically designed to pair with the Power Prawn U.S.A. and were carefully thought out to anticipate inshore fishing scenarios.

There are a few color options in the Power Prawn U.S.A., however, I caught my overslot snook on the Slam Shady color while Joe was using the Natural color.

Color did not seem to matter on this particular trip, the fish were after the darting action of the shrimp.

Rod, Reel & Line

I used my Value Setup on this trip.

This includes a TFO Professional Medium-Heavy spinning rod and a Daiwa BG 2500 reel.

I usually use Medium power for inshore fishing but when fishing around docks, the added power in a Medium-Heavy assists in pulling those fish out from structure.

I previously thought 2500-sized reels would be overmatched by overslot snook but these BG 2500 reels have proven to pack a punch.

Also, the BG sizing is actually larger than other reels in the same size class.

A BG 2500 is about the same size as a 3000 in other reels.

As far as line goes, I got lucky using 15lb Daiwa J-Braid x8 Grand but I would normally use 20lb.

I had that tipped with 30lb monofilament leader.

Monofilament has proven to be a bit more abrasion-resistant when it comes to dock fishing.

Conclusion

dock fishing positioning lesson

This is one of my favorite setups to use for skipping lures underneath docks and pulling overslot snook out from docks!

Dock positioning and where you cast have a major impact on whether or not you will get any strikes.

Immediately, this fish TOOK OFF the second it felt hooked.

After towing Justin up the river, he was able to see it was a GIANT SNOOK.

But, Justin noticed something odd about how this fish was hooked.

It was barely hooked.

Somehow, the lure had made its way through the gills of the fish out the side and underneath a pectoral fin.

A wild catch to say the least!!!

Skip casting shrimp lures under docks can be extremely rewarding for those of us who like catching redfish and snook.

But it can be super frustrating if the lure you’re using isn’t suited for this type of fishing which requires being able to handle a lot of close contact with hard structure without getting snagged.

This fun fishing report shows how exciting this type of fishing can be because I caught some very nice fish (one of which was my favorite catch in the past 4 years).

And the great results came in spite of seeing very few signs of marine life in the areas I was fishing that day.

Here’s a fun fishing video in which you’ll see how this style of fishing in action.

Equipment Used:

Deeper Zone (more than 4 ft of water)

Conclusion

Skipping shrimp lures under docks is becoming my most trusted type of fishing to do when in need of catching good fish in tough conditions.

The key is to use a great lure that has the following characteristics:

  1. Great action in the water
  2. Weedless
  3. Realistic appearance
  4. Good for skip casting

And our new shrimp lure was designed to have all four of these important characteristics which is why is has quickly become my favorite lure for this type of fishing.

Not only does this lure perform well at drawing strikes when fishing docks, but it seems to fool the bigger fish more frequently given that my average catch size has gone way up since I began using it.

Make sure to get some of these new lures if you haven’t yet done so.

Note: We are so confident in these lures that we offer a guarantee that they’ll be your favorite shrimp lure of all once you give them a shot… if you don’t think they are awesome, just let us know and we’ll refund what you paid for them so you have nothing to lose by given them a try.

Just wanted to share a fun snook catch that took place while skipping our new shrimp lure up under some docks.

During a recent dock fishing trip with light tackle expecting only smaller fish since it was the middle of the day with weak tides, I came across this big snook that inhaled the shrimp lure.

Somehow this snook didn’t get away!!

While recently testing out the NEW Power Prawn USA artificial shrimp lure under some docks, a nice snook couldn’t resist striking this lure.

After skipping this lure underneath docks in search of a bite, this big snook took us for a ride!

The fish immediately darted off and the line began to rub against the dock pilings.

In this situation, you want to keep the line tight and remain patient.

The snook unbelievably behaved and swam underneath the dock to where it could be handled and released.

It’s true…

Finding snook in Texas is not an easy task.

But you CAN catch this unicorn if you know the best tactics for finding and catching them!

So in this new video from Capt. Corey Mock, you’ll learn the best times to target Texas snook, the most effective lures, the best retrieve, and much more.

Targeting Texas Snook

You can start to target snook in Texas in April and May when they leave deeper water and come onto the Texas flats.

And boy do they put on a show in shallow water!!

In the fall you can still find the texas snook on the flats and they will stay there until November and December.

It’s a little tougher to find Texas snook in the winter as they move into deeper water around structure  or sea walls.

If you’re targeting snook in deeper water, you must use a different tactic because you’ll need your lure to get to the bottom fast.

Use a 3/4 oz or 1 oz jig head to get your soft plastic to the bottom quickly.

Make sure you work any drop-offs and potholes in the area too.

And it’s okay if the water is murky.

Murky water is a great place for snook to hold so they can ambush their prey.

At a higher tide, focus on the mangroves (getting as close as you can without spooking the fish).

Best Lures & Retrieve For Texas Snook

The best way to target Texas snook with lures is to use a topwater either early morning or later in the afternoon.

A bone or chartreuse colored topwater lure will do the trick!

Also, a paddletail (like the Slam Shady) or shrimp lure (like the Power Prawn) works really well for targeting snook throughout the day.

Use a 1/8 oz to 1/4 oz jig head for your soft plastic lures.

Finally, the best retrieve for Texas snook is a twitch, twitch, pause!

Happy Texas snook hunting, y’all!!
