Instead of under the docks, I would buzz a zoom toad or speedworm along side
the dock and in front first. I have had really good luck using that method
first before disturbing the water underneath. Casting to the shoreline
instead of in the water, and work it in slowly. If possible drop it on the
dock and plop it in the water. I love when bass explode on that presentation

Eric,

Actually there is a couple problems with thinking those fish will be out
moving around. If you are referring to overcast skies and rain will have
the fish roaming . The problem with that is , if the temperature change
wasn't subtle and and the pressure changed dramatically (rising) it could
push those fish even tighter to cover overcast or not. 50 degrees is
really not all that cold, but if the water went from 60 to 50 in a short
period of time it could shut those fish off.
Also, if you have a lot of wind and those fish are roaming and a soft
plastic jerkbait is to hard to fish , I would switch to a suspending rogue
or maybe a husky jerk (or Long-A). At least you could keep constant
tension on the bait as you work it.
Then again I could be totally F.O.S because I have never seen your body of
water, and what kind of structure you have available, or what the primary
forage is, or anything else, except that you have docks :-)

just a few thoughts

Chris

OK, it's a cold day, and the water up here has already cooled into the
50's anyway. The wind is making boat control difficult and the use of
lightweight plastics damn near impossible. I'll be tossing a jig and
pig, probably a 3/8 oz to start. Since it looks like a crappy day, the
fish should be roaming out from the cover a bit, so I won't have to work
at skipping it too much on this pesky levelwind.
