Table Rock Lake (Vac) Report 6.4-6.9

[TritonCarl]

I spent all of last week on vaction right on Table Rock Lake and fished it all week long. First off wanted to thank everyone for the information they provided me before I went. Overall, I had an enjoyable week of fishing, just not used to sitting in 9 foot of water and being to see EVERY peeble that is on the bottom.

I fished every morning and started off with sammy or a popper style bait with calm water and changed to a splash tail in windy conditions. First of the week, I caught mostly kentuckys and finally found some smallmouth later on in the week(just all small fish). After the topwater died down, I had success on a dd22 and a baby bass dt-16 (and i was WORN after 2 days of this even with the ol' faithful 3.8:1 curado). I threw a crig, grub, finesse worm with no success. The one that got away came on friday on the sammy, est. 3-4 lb smallmouth got off at the boat, didn't have the net out and tried to bring him over the boat and he wasn't having anything to do with that!!!

Wednesday, I made a nice run to Kimberling City and saw a Toyota wrapped boat with a Yamaha motor, never got close enough, but from the pics I've seen on BASS's homepage that was Mike Iaconelli. boat. Also, got my picture made with Denny Brauer and Rick Clunn at the grand opening of the new Bass Pro Shop in Branson (don't waste your time if you are there, drive an hour to THE one in Springfield.)

Sorry for the long post(esp. since Table Rock is not close to Chattanooga!!) Carl

Oh, I envy you...I would love to spend a vacation fishing a lake I've never been to. If you enjoyed Table Rock, you should check out Parksville.

Well thanks for the report! Nice to get one from away! I kinda like Table Rock, I've been there before, thats because I used to live closer, in Memphis!

Carl,

Great report buddy... Glad you had a good time, how did that Triton hold up??? I bet it did alright. That lake sounds alot like Parksville that CFF fished this past weekend... good job man.

You need to sign up for CFF Guntersville, check it out on Forum Event.

Lets wet a line soon,
Brandon

glad you had a good vacation and got to spend lots of time on the water. It is a tough lake if you are there after the fish come off the bed. Did you get to eat at the lodge? I forgot to tell you about that place. neat. Did you get to see the trout below the dam???? a beautiful placeemoAngel
