Now this is interesting – an interesting opinion, anyhow.
Started checking out some old Glen Lau underwater footage, looking for the bass spitting out a crankbait, and found this clip from his Bigmouth movie.
In it he says the best docks are the ones with criss-cross timber under ’em (I’m assuming brush is the same principle). Seems that begs two questions:
1. Bearing in mind that Glen has spent a ton of time underwater, is he right that these docks are that much better than docks without cross-timber?
2. If he is, and there are “15 to 30 fish” under such docks, shouldn’t we all be spending more time fishing docks? I mean, I’m a couple casts and go guy – mostly because I’m not the world’s greatest jig-skipper, but even so I’d give it maybe a dozen casts at most, not a dozen fish….

I was fishing docks today for smallies. I only hit back corner, side, front corner, front, other front corner, other side, other back corner and DONE! Unless it has a floating walkway with at least a few feet of water under it.

Did you happen to come across that crankbait video? I remember seeing it a few years back, but can’t find it anymore.

The way I see it is, the cross timbers offer more ambush points, more light dappling/ shading, and they seemingly promote more plant growth. = MORE BASS.
