Old man rattling-got shooting docks learned. Ugly Stick Light (ultra light action), Bobby Garland pull tabs, 4lb high vis line, small / light weight reel (lime green Lews). Practice, practice, practice be for going to lake. Pull tabs work great for me. Use same anchor point every time. One of the most important things is hold the line barely on side of index finger, I also waxed the chrome at reel seat, allows smother release / didtance & accuracy. Good shooting, Old Man Style

I've been practicing and have shot a few docks on the lake. Technique is improving but haven't caught anything yet. Maybe it's the wrong time of year for crappie under docks? I'm guessing that they have moved to deeper water.

In GA they are active under docks. The lake I fish is Wedowee Alabama, about 20 miles west of GA line.

Looked up "B.G. pull tabs", having no idea what they were... now I know..... for folks who can't keep from snagging their fingers !
Guess "crutches" come in all forms, huh ?

I usually wait till something is broken before trying to fix it, thanks anyway. If it helps you, that's what matters.
