Largemouth Bass love to hang out around boat docks. For them, this is a good place to hide in the cover, get shade from the sun, and to find bait fish when the dinner bell rings.

So it stands to reason that this is good place to fish for them. The problem is getting your bait to them. The overhand cast will usually send your fishing lure to the top of the boat dock, potentially lodging in the boards and such that the dock is made of.

The best way to do this is to use an sidearm cast or an underhand cast. Pitching and flipping are good methods. This article is not designed to cover the 'how to' of casting, but to let you know the best way to fish a boat dock.

Fishing gear. That's a pretty general term, huh? The term fishing gear could encompass almost anything, seeing as how there are literally millions of different types of fishing gear. In this article, I'm going to discuss some of the most important types of fishing gear that the average anglers should be using. Some will fall into the tackle category, some in the equipment category, and some simply in the efficiency category. Let's all keep in mind what Steven Wright Said of us anglers, "There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot." Many times I feel as if Mr. Wright hit the nail on the head with that quote.
