The month of April is the start of some of the best bass fishing. When the water temperature starts to reach close to 45-50 degrees, the bass begin to move toward shallow water to spawn. April usually has some strong up and down weather cold fronts that tend to move the bass back toward deeper water. Whenever the water temperature drops 2 or more degrees due to these cold fronts. Some of the larger bass seem to always be caught during April and early May. May and Early June are usually the most productive months for quantity of bass caught. Note that bass can be caught anytime of the year on Table Rock Lake. Our lake never freezes. There is also good Crappie fishing in early spring and winter. There is great trout fishing on TaneyComo or Table Rock just below the dam.
Right now is a great time to start fishing table rock lake!

Personally "due to my age and health" I now fish often with professional guides and friends. If you're not a regular fisherman, I mean one that fishes very often, it would behoove you to .
The guide supplies everything (all rods, tackle, professional bass boat and gas, everythign except food and beverage) The guide also knows how the bass are reacting and what baits they are currently hitting on. There is a guide list at our office and by .
Early in April, the bass were hitting on jerk stick baits, 5/16 brown jigs w/trailers, 3 & 4 inch tubes, carolina rigs, and grubs. Techniques change rapidly as the water warms up more and more that's where the guides daily fishing experience comes into play.

It's April 26th, today was very warm, about 78 degrees, and a very windy day. We had 20 to 30 mph winds on Table Rock Lake and the guide had his hands full controlling the boat all morning. We started out in the Indian point/Indian creek area and caught a couple of short bass throwing a stick jerk bait at the windy banks. After a half hour of that we moved out into the main lake to try to find some banks with fish on them. We fished another two hours or more moving from the long creek arm of the lake and then back to the main lake and only catching a few short bass. We then moved in the area of the old 86 camp ground to try it's cove's. 
Hello, this was sat may 9th and another good four hour morning of fishing on table Rock Lake. During today's fishing from early a.m. "6:30 till 8:30" we raised some nice action on points with under water trees using a red fin top water lure. Later from 8;30 till 10:30 we went to a shallow bar that was about 12 to 15 foot deep and caught some nice sized small mouth, spotted bass and a bunch of goggle eyes " rock bass", on Smokey grubs, tube gitsits and a shaky worm. 
friends and the guides who also have become good friends and fishing partners. The days are getting very hot to be out very long any more especially after 10 am so the Lord willing I probably wont fish very much until late fall again. That doesn't mean you can't catch nice size fish all summer because they are here and can be caught year round.
So come out and take my advice and try going out with a guide for a half day especially if your not acquainted with fishing Table Rock Lake. I guarantee you will have a fun experience and learn a lot about our lake.
