Table Rock Fishing

[MstStudent10]

A lot of people have been wondering why Table Rock has been fishing extremely bad lately... Here's something to consider, Maybe Mother Nature just has to balance herself out, like EVERY other thing out there in the world you have up swings, down swings, and sometimes a few outlyers on the extreme ends of both sides...

So the fall fishing is bad, let's not forget what everybody was reporting earlier this spring. I believe I remember Mr Bablers word saying In all his years on the Rock he had NEVER seen it as good for catching Smallmouth. We were all going out everyday and dragging that tube around and it was almost hard not to catch a Smallie over 15".

Reason I bring this up, A lot of times we as people, especially Americans, forget what we truly have. Its tough out there, but not that long ago it was amazing as ever, and it's going to get back to that point.

I just recently had to move away from the Ozarks to the East Coast for a job. At 23 yrs old, I've spent my whole life around the Springfield/Branson area growing up fishing Table Rock, Bull, Stockton, etc and have an undescribing love for my home waters... This has been one of the hardest times of my life leaving home and my family and Even with this Horrible fishing at Table Rock, I feel like I'd do anything to be out on that water again.

You have my sympathy leaving this beautiful area for the east coast. I was wondering why I haven't seen your post recently. Hopefully, a great job will open up for you to return to this area. I've fished this beautiful lake for over forty years and have loved every minute of it. You are "right on" how we get spoiled in this country and take so much for granted. I thank the Lord every day for living in such a beautiful part of the world. Even my worst trip on the Rock is wonderful!!!!
