Dock lights are utter fish-magnets. Some are better than others with dim, yellowish lights usually holding a bit of promise, bright white ones often plugged with fish, and those with green underwater lights at the top of the heap. No matter what inshore predator you have in your sights, fishing these areas is a prime way to get ’em. If, that is, you fish those dock lights in the right way.
Remember, the water is public and no one can tell you not to cast into “their” light. However, a proper measure of respect to pier owners is also in order. Never step onto or tie off on a private pier without permission, and if you snag the pier or something attached to it, you have to accept the fact that your lure or rig is gone. That said, dock fishing under lights is an awesome way to turn an otherwise boring evening into fish-filled fun.
