Table Rock Lake is located in southwestern Missouri. It is an artificial body of water which is stocked and managed by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers which also constructed Table Rock Dam on the White River. The surface are is over 43,000 acres. Numerous resorts, marinas, and parks are sited on the lake shore. A carefully managed program to build the fish population in the waters has resulted in one of this country's best locations for a range of angling opportunities.

When you retain the services of a professional guide, you are more likely to find the species of fish that you are seeking. You can be successful throughout the entire year, as there is no limitation by fishing season. You just have to know where the quarry is most likely to be found and which bait is the best option.

If you like Bass, there are various types available. You can choose White Bass, Small Mouth Bass, Spotted Bass, Kentucky Bass or Large Mouth. You don't have to be highly experienced when you go after Black or White Crappies, Green or Long Ear Sunfish, Walleyes or Spoonbills. There are also Bluegills and Flathead Catfish in the waters.

Fishing the relatively warm waters is different than the type of fishing that is done in cold water lakes or fast moving streams. Taking advantage of knowledge accrued by the experienced anglers in the area is the best way to ensure that you have a successful catch. Contacting the people at the guide services, bait shops, marinas and resorts is a good starting point for learning about the anglers' opportunities.

It is important to choose the appropriate bait for the season of the year and for the species you are targeting. In large part, the type of bait is related to the cycle of the seasons. Bass choose their favored locations depending upon the temperature of the water and their location. Some of the favorite equipment and bait for the spring season includes spinners, crank bait and jig-and-frog. As the water warms, anglers should use chuggers and top water tackle, as well as crawfish and light nightcrawlers. The latter also works in the colder months of the year, but Bass are likely to move to different locations in the lake.

Understanding where to find the bass at any given time of the year is something learned with experience. It is also possible if you retain the services of an experienced guide. These are usually local people who may have fished the waters for many years. The key elements in filling a creel include being at the right place, at the right time, and with the right bait and tackle.

Preparing for a visit to fish at Table Rock is easy when you use the internet. You can obtain your license online and even check out the guide services available. Planning an angler's dream getaway should include a visit to the Branson area of Missouri.
