Skipping baits under docks requires practice to become good. One of the best baits to skip is the Senko. These can be easily skipped across the water with the correct setup. Use a spinning reel with 10 pound test line. Tie on a 4/0 hook with a 5” senko. Pull your boat up parallel to the dock, not perpendicular. Parallel allows you to get a straight line cast under the dock with little interference from your boat. Pick the darkest spot on the dock, early morning it will be the west side of the dock, mid day it will be the middle of the dock, and late day it will be the east side of the dock. Hold the line with your find, pull back the bail and bring the rod tip back. Snap the rod forward while releasing the line from you finger. Try to let the bait hit the water 2ft in front of the dock. Don’t touch the line as the bait skips under the water. It should come to a rest well under the darkest spot on the dock. With a Yamamoto Senko the best method is count to ten and let the bait settle to the bottom. If you don’t have a fish, reel in and make another cast. Make multiple cast to the same dock, even if you catch a fish. Many bass live under one dock.
