Ham Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 Drive further south or further East. I'd rather spend my time at Lake of the Ozarks or Lake Ouachita. Drive a lot further south and really catch them at Toledo bend. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
Members SD bass hunter Posted December 19, 2007 Members Posted December 19, 2007 Drive further south or further East. I'd rather spend my time at Lake of the Ozarks or Lake Ouachita. Drive a lot further south and really catch them at Toledo bend. I have to disagree. While table Rock can have some of the toughest fishing on it. It can also have the most rewarding. When you find that pattern and start catching them their is no better feeling. I am originally from South Dakota and the things that I learned while I fished table Rock has helped me in every lake that I fish and it has given me an edge over the other guy fishing. (Table Rock is also starting to get their big fish back)
Trav Posted December 19, 2007 Posted December 19, 2007 I fished Lake Fork last spring, and for the hype, I did no better or worse than I would have done if I would have just stayed home and fished Tablerock. I live on Taneycomo. If Tablerock treats ya bad just jump the Dam and catch some trout. Haha "May success follow your every cast." - Trav P. Johnson
techo Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 I hesitate to argue about which lake is better for fishing. Table Rock is not the easiest place I haver ever fished, but I love a challenge. I think the challenge makes it more rewarding. Tim Carpenter
Trav Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Just apples and oranges. I have no more trouble getting a bite in Tablerock than I do anyplace else. "May success follow your every cast." - Trav P. Johnson
focused fishing Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Jerkmybait, Got to agree with Don, top baits in March are shaky head, suspending jerkbait a wiggle wart, Eakins Jig plus add a mojo rig or small carolina rig. Shaky head and mojo with a 4" green pumpkin finesse worm on pea gravel flats and points from 10' - 20' deep, jerkbait around isolated cedar trees in larger creek arms and wiggle warts on channel bends in both the creeks and on the main lake up any of the river arms (King's will be fairly close to where you're staying and it can be fantastic in March). The Eakins jig will work around cedars and brush piles on steeper banks that time of year and if it is dead calm and sunny (not likely in March but what the hey) fish it around deeper boat docks with brush. Good luck and enjoy your trip!

CaptainJoe Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 The only thing that I would add to Don and Eric's list is a wacky worm (green pumpkin or watermelon)and hit secondary points in 8' to 15'. If the the point has wood, all the better. Good luck and have a great trip! Captain Joe Hreha Owner of MO Fenchbulldogs.com; Captain Joe's Guide Service (Retired); OAF Contributor; & Captain, U. S.
