If you’re interested in improving your dock-fishing skills, the next three days at Lake Hartwell promise to be a master class on “Bassmaster LIVE.” Angler after angler mentioned docks in lead-up interviews to the Classic, no one more so than Bryan New, who is from nearby Saluda, S.C.
“I’m not a blueback herring expert, but I like fishing docks,” New said Tuesday. “I was born fishing docks. I grew up fishing docks. I’m pretty good at fishing docks, and I’m going to do some dock fishing this week.”
Greg Hackney has mentioned it this morning, saying, “There’s no way to win without docks being part of your deal. The fish there are not easy to catch, but it’s a chance to catch a big one.”
Mark Zona has addressed it as well on “LIVE,” saying, “If you like dock fishing, this tournament is going to be fun for you.”
