The Table Rock Lake Fishing Forecast is designed to help maximize the time you spend on the lake with catching more fish. The fishing forecast is constructed using a mix of historical data, tournament results, weather patterns and general lake conditions. One of the biggest elements is using actual information from recent time on the water. This gives a general snapshot of some of the best ways to catch fish at that current time.

The deep crankbait bite just keeps rolling along. It does change just a little bit but is still good. This bite is defiantly better with water being pulled. Target 15’-25’ of water. Find the roll off or hard spot on the flat in the river arms. This bite is best in the James and Kings river arms. Can’t stress timing enough, if you hit the right spot at the right time, it can be fast action and a lot of fun. Really crank hard and crash the bait around on the bottom.

The jig bite is good right now. There are two different jig bites—one deep and one shallow. Use a Pee Wee football jig on offshore structure in 15’-30’ of water. This bite is better when they are pulling water but it can still be good when they are not. Use a trailer with plenty of action and add some chartreuse to the tail of the trailer. The second jig bite is a Jewel AJ finesse jig in around shallow docks. Key on the back side of the dock in 2’-5’ of water. Brown and purple seem to be the best color and use a trailer that flaps. Add a little chartreuse to the tail.

There is a square bill bite in the river arms. These fish are in 2’-5’ of water and are keying on bluegill. This will require going up the rivers to the some of the most shallow water on the lake. Pick a bank and start cranking. It is common to get several bites quickly then not get a bite for a while. Just keep covering water. Wood cover will also help. Use bluegill imitating color or chartreuse and black back. These seem to be the best colors to catch these fish.
