Alpine Lodge Fishing? Looking For Good Bass Areas!

[DJspinner]

Hey guys, I'm actually from Iowa, but my family is taking a trip down to Branson late July/early August and we are staying at Alpine Lodge. I will probably do a ton of bass fishing down there. Is there anywhere close to Alpine with good bass fishing from the bank or will we have to travel a little bit? Thanks in advance!

If it helps I usually stay with topwater or bottom. No cranks, rattles, etc.

Anyone have any insight?

I'm always fishing out of a boat, but I think it will be tough to find good bass fishing from the bank in late July/August at Table Rock. There might be other lakes/rivers nearby that will offer bank access, maybe one of the other guys will chime in with some recommendations.

I've always been a quiet observer on here as I'm just learning to fish "The Rock" myself, but I stayed at Alpine Lodge last fall and thought I might be able to help you out. If I remember correctly they have a canoe and maybe a small jon boat that they will let you take out whenever you want for free. That should help you get off the bank and into some of the better "fishy" spots. Being able to fish from the bank will greatly have to deal with what the water level is at when you come down. Right now with the lake being at full pool, it might be difficult to get around. If it drops like it did last late summer/fall during the drought, you should have no problems getting around to some good spots. There is a nice little arm right next to their dock with some timber that should hold some fish. They are located on Indian Point, so do some searching for posts that relate to that area by some of the great contributor's here. Check back to this site regularly between now and when you come down to see what things are currently working. Take anything Mr. Babler says as gospel, because he definitely knows his stuff. Even better yet, hire him for half or full day to show you around. Worth EVERY penny!
