Scott, that might be a good place to go weightless. You may be getting hung up on guy wires, brush that has washed in there, any number of things. A weightless bait like a Senko may come through it better.

SCOTT,

Not trying to tell you how to run your business, but why are you fishing a worm with a 1/4 oz weight? Try downsizing to a 1/8 if you can cast it. You will get a slower fall on the worm and it will hang up less.
I know that the opinion is split on this, but I always peg my weights, no matter what I am fishing. I find that I get hung up a lot less with a pegged weight.

You might try Drop shotting it also. That way the only thing you will be out is the sinker. But as was said before, I wouldn't use that big of a sinker. Also with drop shotting, you will keep the lure in the bass's Zone better.

skip a senko or a fluke under there as far back as you can get

dead stick it for approx 30 seconds
if you do land a bass
skip it right back under there
we were fishing docks the other night at a lake
and we ended up taking 13 bass off 3 docks in about 20 minutes

so do not leave a dock just because you landed 1 bass off it,,

[/quote]

pegging a weight is holding it in place on the line with an object
the simplest to use is a rubber band
set the lure and weight where you want them
then just tie the rubber band above the weight,
then clip off the excess
OR you can use a toothpic, or the many commercial pegging systems out there
but a rubber band can peg a lot of weights for a really low cost
and you usually get them free with your morning news paper
;D
