Master Dock Fishing with MEGA Live 2 and Flutter Spoons

Wired2fish contributor Will Bates targets under-pressured bass deep underneath floating docks by combining flutter spoons with powerful Humminbird MEGA Live 2 sonar technology. This advanced forward-facing sonar (FFS) application creates a detailed picture of structure and fish under docks with detailed lure tracking for pinpoint lure placement. With bass commonly seeking refuge under deep marina docks, MEGA Live 2 gives you the confidence to target and catch these less-pressured fish with much greater ease and efficiency.

Why MEGA Live 2 Is a Game Changer for Dock Fishing
Traditional dock fishing often relies on blind casting and hoping for a here-and-there strike, but FFS changes the game. MEGA Live 2 paints a clear image of the dock complex, enhanced range, and detailed target separation, allowing you to see and track your bait in real-time. By scanning the area, Bates identifies baitfish schools, distinguishes crappie from bass, and identifies the highest percentage casts.

How Flutter Spoons Trigger Bass in Deep Water
Flutter spoons excel when bass suspend under floating docks, hug vertical structures, or school offshore. These heavy, erratic baits mimic injured baitfish and trigger reaction strikes like few other lures. Using MEGA Live 2, Bates times his spoon’s descent to land directly in the strike zone, forcing bass to react before the bait hits bottom. By monitoring fish behavior, Bates adapts his retrieval style to maximize strikes.

When and Where to Use This Dock Fishing Technique
This method is most effective in post-frontal conditions, turnover periods, during peak fishing pressure, and when bass are holding deep under floating docks. Whether fishing marina docks, deep reservoirs, or clear lakes, MEGA Live 2 helps you unlock new and underutilized bites with newfound effectiveness.
