The amount of sunlight/lack of water clarity definitely plays a role in a fish's colorization. An example of this is there is a couple farm ponds that I fish. When the water is dirty the largemouth turn a real light color with hardly any darker lateral line to them. When the water is clear (see 6-8 foot clarity) the largemouth will get really colored up with a dark lateral line. They can change back and forth colorwise in as little as 3 weeks or so.

That looks interesting Bry. I will have to give that a try. Thanks for posting it.

Looks like a heck of a catch and some good eating!!

Thanks a bunch!!

The wife and I are going to be picking up some Red Fins to bring along on our trip. My question is; what size do you all prefer?

Thanks again everyone!! This has been a big help in us finding things to look into doing. We are really getting anxious to head that way!

I have been plunking around on the computer some more and was wondering what you all think of the Branson Belle dinner/show cruise? Thank you all again very much for your input. It is greatly appreciated!!

Thank you all very much!! Looks like there are some great ideas here. Trying to find time to do them all is going to be tuff with fishing most of the day first. We may have to make it a habit to get down that way more often.

We are planning on mostly fishing but wanted some things to do at night. We are staying in a cabin on the lake around Kimberling City.

Wife and I are going to Table Rock the first week of June for our 10th anniversary. We honeymooned on Table Rock and are staying on the lake again and doing a lot of fishing. We have a guide hired for the first day to help point us in the right direction on the fishing. We are going to the Dixie Stampede for sure one night. We will be fishing most of the day all week so we are looking for things to do mostly in the evenings. We would not be totally against taking one day off from fishing to sight see though. With that said; what all else would you recommend seeing/doing in and around the Branson area? What are the better steak houses in or around Branson/Kimberling City? When it gets closer any tips on the fishing in the Kimberling City area would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks for any and all ideas guys!!
