Creature baits around docks?

[johnsmith]

I see many people only prefer to use this baits to get through cover like laydowns or grass. Does anyone use baits like the rage bug or pit boss in a T rig around docks and other light cover?

I think creature baits could work anywhere. In hot weather, target the shady areas, and throw them up under the docks if you can.

I throw creature baits over here

I throw creature baits over there

I throw creature baits everywhere

 

I throw creature baits far

I throw creature baits near

I throw creature baits without fear

Berkley Maxscent Creature Hawg is darn near the only bait I use on a t-rig any more, other than a stickbait sometimes. Creature baits work excellent around docks, laydowns, weeds, and even open water areas/rock bottoms.

Try fishing it like a swim jig on a 3/16-1/4oz Texas rig near docks.

This works even better.

All the time. Pitching creatures around/under docks is super effective for me. And the Pit Boss is one of my favorites.

I have always liked the Yamamato Kreature for docks and light cover.  For the heavy stuff, Beavers are still king.

Nailed it.

 

If I'm fishing a T-rig, there's probably some kind of creature bait on it. The type might depend on the type of cover.

I killed 'em last year on docks with a Biffle Bug.  Send it!

Be careful, you may have "insulted" creatures, they'll label you a creature racist and you won't be able to sell your books anymore .

Can't think of a place not to throw a smallie beaver?

X2 and yeah they work everywhere, My favorite being the old Berkley Havoc Pitboss, they don't make the havoc line anymore but I still have them.. I did really well last year fishing this around parked pontoon boats and docks at my lake. Here's my pic of the last bag of havoc pit bosses I have left, gonna be a sad day when I run out of these.

I like the Zoom super hog.  They don't get a lot of love, but they do get the job done.
