Started off around 7:30am looking for some schooling/top water action to no real avail. Hit the jig early around some docks and never put it down. Had a nice limit by 9:15am, about 11 pounds, picking up about 10 fish total before getting off the water at 10am. Nice to see the fish cooperating for a change. Most of the fish seemed to be keying on big rock.

I'll ditto the BIG rock thing, Ed. That is what has been paying off for me out there as well.

Nice catch... I went out on Sat and blew it. Just alot of dinks and never could established a pattern in the gale force winds from the south. I have been catching fish on the docks later in the day on jigs. Usually they are keepers to 3 lbs; however occaionally I'll catch a 10 inch Gaud on big jig. Did lose about 3-4 lbs fish at the end of the trip on a jig nearly a lighted dock. The deeper docks are a good pattern on Travis.

When ya'll fish docks and then mention deeper docks -- are ya'll pitching under and letting it go all the way down? There are some really deep docks in Travis, have a hard time getting my brain to say let it go all the way down.

Just getting into Jig fishing and looking for some pointers..

Thx

Deep docks - I have caught bass down to 50 feet in travis. 30-35 feet is not unusual. try pulling up to dock and work around slow just jiging up and down on bottom around the dock - they are there. worm or jig

You can never really be quite sure what guys mean when they say they are catching fish on a jig under deep docks. While you can catch them on the bottom in some really deep water 45, 50, even 60+ft, I'm sure there are a number of guys who are swimming their jig to get suspended fish under the dock...they just decide to omit that small detail in their report . I catch more fish suspended on docks at Travis than I do on the bottom. Mostly because of the fact that the docks on Travis are floating docks and they don't have supports that go all the way to the bottom.
