Well with a watermelon red flk senko, 4 inches, on a 3-4/o hook with melted weight in the middle, bleeding color, I basically skip docks and fish just about every square inch of shade.
To be successful in doing what I do you have to be very accurate and in tone with your presentation. I get to the point where I can feel the most remote things. By how limp the line is I can tell if I have one, if Im snagged, or if it skipped over a support under the dock, which is key to making more casts.
