How do I fish this bass?

Here's the scenario...  I'm fishing on a dock this afternoon, and I see a monster bass sneak under it.  I take a quick peek under the dock and there are two lunkers hanging out.  I have very little knowledge/success with catching bass.

It's about mid-day, water is green but visibility is about 8 feet.  The bass were hovering about 3ft under the dock.

We had a box of Senkos with us and I wacky wormed the hell outta baby bass, watermelon, green pumpkin, pumpkin, and natural shad.  Then we Texas-rigged and cast from the opposite end of the dock and tried working it along the edge of the dock.  My wife even tried jigging a Kastmaster off the forehead of one of them... it just turned and leisurely swam back under the dock

Any other ideas that might have produced a bite? 

Location was... Shadow Cliffs

Night crawler or a minnow.

Hit him really early or real late and he will bite. The high sun makes him pretty lazy.

Minnow.
A lot of times they will corner the minnow between them and just stare at it.
Give it a twitch and see which one hits first.

You can try a trolling fly on a drop shot rig.  Deadly on skiddish bass.  Has just enough movement to get their attention with out spooking them.

Downsize, go weightless and use a white or silver laminate color.  4 inch worm, wacky, no weight.

I used to fish shadow cliffs a lot and what those bass are doing is waiting for trout. They'll take trout right off someone's someone's line as they reel it in. the water there is pretty clear and just about everybody sees those fish and drops something on their heads making them ignore pretty much all regular tackle. They're looking for big meals to fuel them up for the spawn

he's right. those bass sit under those docks all the time and see a dozen different lures a week, they're pretty much focused on just small live trout by now.  you can see them during the later spring just sitting there, and they won't even chase baby bass or bluegill.  thing is you can try to throw a trout pattern swimbait, but its hard to get the right angle on them because of where they're located on Dock 1 and 2, just hanging on the edge.  they are very specifically targeting the trout in the lake, which swim in a very specific manner and are kind of stupid. 

Could potentially take a shot at them early or late, but off the docks.  I think they just use the docks to hang out for shade and cover and move off them for feeding.

Looks like these two gal's are in spawning mode looking to nest with a male. When they get like this they can be hard to catch eating is not the priority, but they still can be caught you have to wear them down and basically get them pissed off that they will bite in anger. Its a little easer if they are on a nest and you invade there space. Please if you hook one up please release her so she can spawn.

These can be infuriating, wait till they nest. Then drop a big jig on it. She will pick it up to move it away then you got her. If you can feel it. Either ignore them or wait. I wasted whole days as a youngster trying to get these to bite. I would usually end up with the idea of snagging one just to get it in. But this is a terrible idea.
Catch and release these awesome breeders.

I've heard those big Shadow Cliff bass can be tough.  Like others have said, they've seen it all and only want what they want.  Also, bass get spooked easily so if it hears and see stuff all day long on the docks, it may reluctant to eat something thrown in its face, especially those bigguns.

Reelfish is right once there in spawn mode they'll ignore everything

I've had one of those fat bass inhale my medium sized trout as I was reeling it in, there at SC.  It spat my trout out just before I could get it in net range.  I've tried everything there, including Huddlestons but couldn't get those things to bite.  I hear the fly fishermen have had better success catching those pigs.

A huddleston looks nothing like a mt lassen trout 

you need a hudd-type lure that has a beat up tail, a bevel cut top tail, tiny mutated pectoral fins, about 2x the girth of a normal shaped trout, and a few cigarette butts and rocks occasionally spewing from the mouth, gill rakers or vent.  also, it has to swim in a lazy zigzag pattern with no apparent idea where its going.

Extra points if the peduncle is crooked or misshapen in some fashion.

Duh... Banjo Minnow!
