swimabaits and very large jerk/rip type baits gets alot of 2-3 pounders here good luck on the big one under the dock lol i have been trying for a couple of years.

Spliff721. Believe it or not, I caught my largest Largemouth bass of my life under a dock in Manson Bay, up on Lake Chelan a few years back. She was 24" and right at 8 1/2 pounds. (I lip hooked her, took pictures and put her back to spawn)I caught her in ultra clear water using an 8lb flourocarbon leader, a size 1/0 Gamakatsu drop shot/splitsot hook and about a 3" real crawdad. I ran the hook just under the first segment behind the hard thorax shell, and dropped to the bottom and jiggled it. She came out and inhaled my Crawdad! I picked bait along the rocky shore. I wasn't sure if a crawdad is considered a fish for bait or not, (the one I used was dead.) She picked it up anyway. I've caught big non biting Large mouth and Smallies on a whacky rigged Night crawler rigged on a size one Owner wide gap worm hook and no weight. (Wacky riggin' hooks the worm once in the middle, )and you pitch it weightless, and let it's writhing do the rest. Also it's hard to beat a watermelon/gold flake 5" Yammamoto Senko fished weightless for big finicky Bass in clearwater. The Jigmiester
