955 . There are basically two seasons when fish start to set up in the deeper water. That's summer and winter and I think I would typically put the Ned down at this time (Maybe, it's proven to me it's a wonderful lure.) Though this year has been a very unique year when we talk about table rock bass sitting up in the deeper water. However, When they start the deep pattern is when I will start hitting the docks with the spoon.  Not only are docks great spoon locations, but I have several bluff walls and bluff ends that I really hit with spoons. When the fish are on the spoon bite, it's a great time! I have caught a lot of really nice ones on the spoon.As far as low light, if you mean night time I don't get out much at night. I'm sure it would work and I'm sure someone else may have a better answer in that regard. If you are just simply asking about low light as it relates to cloud cover? It's those days especially when you may not have to get as far back into the slips.

Great answer bassenforcer. This is why i like reading this site.  Can i ask when you would go to the spoon around docs vs say throwing a ned? Do you need a lot of daylight? Is low light better?

Spoons start working around docks as soon as you start seeing them suspended in slips. Usually late April, when there is a move into the docks as a staging spot to go shallow and spawn. Lasts well into fall, usually November. 

Sun puts them under the docks, low light makes them roam. 

I will put a spoon in docks when I want to fish faster, or when I have seen fish working bait in the middle of deep coves with docks. Ned is probably a little more reliable, spoon is faster, and can be a big fish bait.

Yowzers!!!!  two spoon threads at once?!?!  That is neat!  Although....my boss would frown if i spend anymore work time typing up a book on how to fish with a chunk of lead. :/
