The bass fishing on Table Rock has been great the past couple of weeks. In the Dam area to Kimberling City, the bass have been stacking up on the main lake pea gravel points. Most of them have been Kentucky's and Smallmouth with a few Largemouth mixed in. The fish seem to be holding in 14-20ft. of water in the morning until about 10:00 in the morning, and as the sun gets out they tend to move out to 22-28ft. of water on the same points. Look for main lake pea gravel points, the ones with brush piles or submerged timber seem to be holding the better fish. The best baits to use are Eakins jigs in brown and purple tipped with Chompers twin tail grubs in cinnamon purple, or green pumpkin finesse worms on a shaky head. Just cover lots of water until you find the fish, this bite will get better as the summer progresses on.
The upper end of the lake in Cricket Creek and Long Creek still have some shallow fish. The best bite is in the early morning when the fish are up shallow. Try using a Zara Spook or spinnerbait around any shallow cover or laydowns. As the sun gets out, move out to the main lake points and humps and use a jig or DD22. I have been catching some nice Largemouth doing this in the past couple of weeks.
