Things You'll Need:
- Long fishing rod with heavier line
- Long-handled net
- Garbage bag
-
Step 1
Safety comes first. Make sure you choose a stable dock or pier. Check for wood rot or a rickety structure. Look for a guard rail around the perimeter and make sure the dock is soundly attached to the bulkhead.
-
Step 2
Bring the proper equipment, including a longer rod with heavier line to help haul in the catch from a higher level. A long-handled net can be utilized to scoop the fish from the water if they are too heavy to hoist. This prevents back injury, fishing pole damage or the line breaking.
-
Step 3
Choose a pier or dock that extends far out into the body of water. The further out, the deeper the water and the better the fish supply.
-
Step 4
Bring whatever you will need once you begin fishing. It can be a long walk back to the car, especially from a pier. Bring a garbage bag to clean up afterwards. Thoroughly clean the area of the dock or pier that you fished from. Don't leave hooks, bait, discarded fishing lines or other trash.
