Eagle Rock

First I wanted to thank all the people that post in here. I have lives in Springfield for a year now and my favorite lake up here is table rock. Didn't have my boat up here last summer so I couldn't get out on TR until late winter/spring of this year. Don't have a clue what the bass here do with these deep lakes. I'm from dallas tx area and the fish there go about 20-35 feet in the summer on points, humps, road beds, and deep trees. We don't have the bluff walls or the 150' deep lakes down there. I'm kind of at a loss right now as to where to go. Gonna try tomorrow from about 5:30-11:00. Been reading a lot about this "big m" place. Did some searching on my navionics app and pinned some locations I wanted to try. Most where humps and points. Never drop shorted before but I do have a set up I could do it with if need be. Gonna mostly try poppers and buzzbaits early. Then switch to jigs, c-rigs, and big worm little later.

Hope I can grab a few tomorrow. Tight Lines

Good luck, I fish that area quite a bit and will be interested to hear how you do.

Yesterday there was a very good shallow bite. For me that is 15' to 25' this time of the year. Caught fish on the short porches or the points that are a little steeper. The long flat runnouts to the channel are just getting hammered in that and most lake sections.

Kept the boat in about 35' and slow rolled a 7/16th. Chompers GP wobblehead with a Yamamoto craw along the bottom chunking and bumping all the way back. Fish were in the above mentioned range. Had 6 very nice SM, 1 15" K and 1 17" LM doing this while my clients used a drop shot to catch Kentucky bass off of these deep chunk rock locations.

I believe due to the cloud cover yesterday and the drop in surface temps the fish were more relating to the bottom. They had really been in the deep tree tops in the 35' range suspended. Not for either me or some of my guide buddies yesterday, they were relating to the bottom.

Most eating shad, but the 8 I caught on the wobbler all were just stuffed with crayfish.

Good Luck

Thank you for sharing. I have learned to always have a wobble head tied on up here. Will report when I return tomorrow. Thanks guys!
