Coming down this weekend with my wife for 3 days of fishing and checking out the area. I'll be fishing for bass and wonder if you guys could answer a couple of questions?

Do prespawn fish stage on brush piles?

If so, what types of baits do you fish brush piles with? I'm thinking that a fellar could lose a few baits in these if he didn't know what he was doing (like me). We don't have brush piles up here in Minnesocold so I never get a chance to fish 'em. As a matter of fact, I don't get much of a chance to fish for prespawn bass either.

Do they stage around docks?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
