Branson Mo. Spring Smallmouth Bass Fishing Table Rock Lake

As the rains fall, Table Rock continues to warm, ever so slightly.  River Arms running in the 60 degree temperature range with water clarity clearing.

River arms are starting to fish good for LM Bass and Spotted Bass with wiggle warts, and spinnerbaits.  Fish these baits on windy chunk rock banks in the Kings, James and Roaring River Arms.

Main Lake Table Rock is still running cool, with Surface temps in the mid-50’s.  Fish suspending stickbaits on bluffends transition banks and windy cove mouths and long points.

3 to 5 inch Ctail grubs are also catching fish lake wide in the clearer water.  Smoke, White, and Salt-in-Pepper seem to be the best colors fished on a 1/4 oz. Ball Jig head.   Same locations as the Stickbaits, only allow the grub to fall to the count of at least 15 before starting the retreve.

White Bass are being taken in very good numbers up all the rivers on Swimming minnows.  Crappie are still slow to start.
