Interesting you should say that. Brown with a little orange is considered
by many to be the "Yuma Color."
Here the channel tends to run stained, but rarely muddy except after a rare
rain storm, and then only for a few days. Occassionaly an algae bloom will
turn the lakes badly stained, but usually they run from very lightly stained
to almost gin clear depending on the traffic in that lake, and the recent
weather.

As a result I tend to throw black with red in muddy conditions, and brown
with orange in clearer conditions. Weird.

my favorite lure for throwing under docks is

whatever is currently tied on the rod in my hand.

If I'm working down a bank fishing stumps or laydowns or a weed edge or
whatever, and I come to a dock that looks inviting, I'm going to throw
whatever I have in my hand or whatever I caught my last fish on, unless
it's totally inappropriate.

A Senko, black, Texas rigged weightless on a EWG Gammi and skipped under
on spinning tackle. Once you get the hang of it, you can skip those babies
all the way to the bank.

It used to be cut and dry for me what I would use to get under a dock, a
Texas rigged 6" Producto tournament worm with a 1/32ounce bullet weight
(pegged).

Now there are so many factors that go into it, like how far off the water
the dock is, how deep of water does the dock sit in, what kind of structure
besides the dock exists around the dock (weeds, rock, wood). How many
angles the dock have (to create shade). So I guess there are many baits to
list. On Boom I caught fish on docks drop shotting, on crankbaits, and on
soft plastic jerkbaits.

I suppose I left more questions than answers :-(

A big fat Powerworm... hopefully, as far back under the dock as I can.

It used to be a Jiglett by Plano until the old boy stopped making
them. It was a very effective extruded silicone craw with a silicone
skirt similar to a spinner bait skirt built in. Molded onto a 1/8,
3/16 or 1/4 ounce size standup style jig with a wire guard loop to
keep it weedless and avoid hangups. The 1/8 was my most effective in
a pumpkinseed/pepper. It caused me quite a bit of frustration to have
my go to bait dissappear like that.

After that I started to use 7" Power worms in red shad or tequela
sunrise. The short tail, not the ribbon tail. These appear to be
getting harder to find in the WI Northwoods. 1/16 to 1/8 weights and
Texas rigged with a Gammie 2/0. Very successful with very high hookup
rate for me. There is the problem of panfish picking it up and trying
to wrap it up in anything they can. I usually just keep enough
tension on it so the can't take it where they want to. The added
advantage to this in my opinion is sometimes a Bass will take it away
from them. I think the Bass that was normally ignoring a bait will
take it from panfish just because of the panfish activities with the
bait. Then again what the hey do I know.

I have started to use a craw bait. I think it came in my NWC package.
It is about 4 1/2", Metallic red - kind of a candy apple, hollow so it
settles real slow and emits bubbles as it goes down. It may be
considered a tube bait. I had some good fish on it at my favorite
local lake. Missed a big Bass the first time I used it because I had
the hook set back in the tail/body. Now I rig it with the hook in the
head. Sometimes I insert a 1/16 weight in it but mostly just the
hook. Appears to be something the local fish like.

All of these baits skip well for me on a spinning set up. Of course
every pier is not a bass haven and being able to read the signs is the
big part in fishing piers. I do enjoy asking cute ladies sun bathing
on a pier if I can fish it. Most times it will be a pier I want to
fish anyway :}
