Table Rock, MO. (lower lake area)

Does anyone have any info on fishing this lake? Do you think that walleye would stay in the river arms? What type/colors of baits would you use?--Thanks for any replys.

Not too many "Southern Boys" on this board (if you want to call Missouri "Southern"), I have found. I don't know much about Table Rock Lake, except that my dad used to kill the rainbows there in early spring.

I would recommend you start with the tried and true bottom bouncer setup with a 'crawler this time of year. Ask around the marinas for tips and hotspots, and if there are any good walleye fishing guides around. From personal experience, if you find a good guide, it is a great investment!

Should you decide to come further south to Arkansas, I know where the wallies are biting on Greer's Ferry Lake, and I know a great guide who could help you there, or on Norfork Lake, the White and Norfork Rivers. There are also some nice wallies just south of the Missouri border in the Spring River near Hardy/Mammoth Springs, AR.

Go here on Walleye Central: http://www.walleyecentral.com/centmail.htm

Click on the "Missouri" section of the directory. Not everyone answers their e-mails, but I found my guide (Barry Hardin in the "Arkansas" section) here, and it was well worth it!

Good luck!

Thanks for the info. I went out last saturday and trolled with a stick bait on a three-way, no luck. I think a I will try a crawler next time. I can't get over the structure. I have a under water camera and could not believe the size of rocks down there. It's different then fishing the mississippi. Once again thanks for the reply.

did you see any "eyes" with the camera?
