Tablerock, Spring Branch is just downstream from Kimberling City about 2 miles or so.

Posted 56 minutes ago · Report post I was fishing back in Spring Branch this morning, just got started and had caught one keeper smally when all of a sudden this guy about 35, all in black with the Ranger clothes, and in a big Ranger boat with a 250 on it, came roaring by and pulled in right in front of me, not more than 50 to 75 feet, right on the bank where I was fishing. Pulled out his rods and started into fish, I think he had spotted a big fish there before and was trying to catch her, he was doing some flipping, but never did see him catch the fish. Had a few words with him that were not pleasant, told him it was a really big lake and that surely he could find another place to fish rather that within 50 feet of me. I think he was a pro because of the way he was dressed and the big black Ranger boat with twin poles on the back, I don't know if there is a practice session going on down there and a tournament tomorrow or not, don't keep up with that stuff. Just wanted to let everyone know how this guy acted, I sure hope he had no luck at all. If that is how all the pros fish, may they have motor trouble all the time.

Thanks for the info!

If you are going to talk about a new location, maybe you should put in where! I have no idea where, so where is it?

Thanks for the info.

Does anyone know if you can launch at Indian Point Marina? hoping to go down on Wednesday when it cools down.

Does anyone know if you can launch your boat at Indian Point yet? thinking about going down there on Wednesday when it cools down.

I went down to Indian Point to camp and fish for a few nights, but that just didn't work out very well. The Indian Point Marina will not let you luanch your boat there. The launch area is closed by the Corp and they will not let you lauch your boat. Talked to the Marina guy and asked if they let campers launch and he told me that no one could launch, so I left and came home. Cancelled my three remaining nights down there and came home. I know I could have gone to Moonshine Beach, and I did go to Aunts Creek for the afternoon, water really didn't look good in color, a brownish color to it. Did have one nice bass on in one of the cuts but it got off just before I was to lift it into the boat Had one other keeper follow the jig right up to the boat, but he never hit the bait at all.

We need more responses such as this on this forum! You really hit the nail on the head with that statement. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks for the info, guys! I have some spoons and will try them this week while down there, maybe get into them like Bill did. Thanks again for the info.

Bill, would you explain the "Dixie Jet" , checked Bass Pro, and they don't have anything with that name listed, what is it? I am spending a week at Indian Point campround, starting Sunday, and would like to catch a few. Thanks for the info.

I made it down to Piney fairly early for me this morning, I was fishing by about 7 a.m. and didn't get a bite until about 9 or so. The water has a lot of color in it, visibility only about a foot or so at the most. My day was not good at all, only caught two shorts and that was it, left around noon for cooler places.

Thanks for the info, I will be down there fairly early in the morning giving it a try. Hope it works out for a good day.

Anyone got a report on the water conditions and how the fish are biting at Cape Fair and Piney Creek? Planning on a trip down there tomorrow and would like some info on that area, if it is available. Thanks for the help.
