fishinwrench Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Even if you don't find a single White bass you'll be better off than suffering through a day at SDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoman Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Even if you don't find a single White bass you'll be better off than suffering through a day at SDC - Amen brother......bring a rod and wave it like a magic wand if you have too!......yah never know, some magical forces may allow you on the water......whites or not......if you're that close to The Rock......come prepared!:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Essary Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Have not seen or heard of a single white for almost a month, but I would tell the family they are tearing it up if it keeps me out of SDC.

Hog Wally Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Well crap. I guess I'll try for the early morning top water bite then wade through the crowds of unhappy hot people in OPP(old people paradise) Why can't every lake be like Truman where locals and out of towners alike can catch fish at the drop of a hat. My family has been going to 86 campground for 25 years and I can count all the fish I've caught in those years on my own digits. I know you guys think this lake is the greatest thing since sliced bread but it hasn't been exactly nice to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billfo Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Id rather be on the water than on a rollercoaster anyday !!! Email me Red-Right-Returning is for quitters ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoman Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Ahh yes, ole lady table rock can be a harsh mistress. She is truly beautiful; but humbles the most seasoned anglers.....that's what keeps ME coming back. I love trying to figure 'em out.:-) - Table Rock seems to me, to be the kinda lake that stumps most bass anglers from far and wide. Seems most guys fishing for bass are on shallow; stained water. Come to The Rock and it's a whole other ball game. But don't despair; knowledge is power! - Be sure and read ever word of the most recent fishing reports here; and that will help immensely. Even better; hire one of the great guides down there, it is worth every penny! Even just a half day trip can offer a wealth of information to get you a step closer to looking like a hero.;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abkeenan Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Id rather be on the water than on a rollercoaster anyday !!! Go out on the water around 11AM-5PM and you will have both at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckcreekmike Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I was at Table Rock over the 4th of July and didn't bring the boat this time, but I did bring a few rods. I fished in the evening about 45 minutes before sunset until dark. I caught probably 6 fish in 2 nights fishing near a marina dock, not on the dock, but along the walkways, as close as possible to the walkway. I used a 3/8oz football jig with twin tail trailer and a shakey head. I figured it was the only form of structure that I could get to from shore, and I probably casted as far as I could an got it to maybe 12' deep. You might be able to catch in the morning on a topwater on a point or something too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckcreekmike Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I'm sorry, I should clarify that I caught a few kentuckies and smallmouth, not whites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
