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.

Friday May 3, 2024
Partly sunny
Temp: Hi 75˚ Low 60˚
Wind: ESE 7-12 mph
The water is beginning to drop but the bushes that are in the water are holding fish. Use any of the following weightless options on the outside edges of the bushes in the water. Fluke, wacky rigged Senko or a floating worm. The fluke and Senko seem to work better because they sink a bit faster and the fish are on the deeper ends of the bushes or the old bank line. Just look for areas that have bushes in the water. This bite seems better in the river arms.

Mostly cloudy with a couple of showers and a thunderstorm
Temp: Hi 76˚ Low 57˚
Wind: W 8-12 mph
In the same areas the fluke will work so will a spinnerbait or chatterbait. The chatterbait seems to be a little bit better but the spinnerbait comes through the wood better. Look for bushes in the water or wood cover in the water. With the lake now starting to drop the fish will be on the deeper ends of the wood cover. Cover lots of water doing this and do not for get to throw the bait down the guts of spawning pockets. Use a white and chartreuse colored bait.

Cloudy and not as warm, periods of rain and a thunderstorm.
Temp: Hi 66˚ Low 60˚
Wind: E 7-10 mph
There are still fish that are in all phases of the spawn, but the influx of water and now the dropping of water has them a bit confused. Look for spawning pockets and thrown tube or Ned rig. The famous puke colored tube and green pumpkin Ned seem to be the best colors. Focus on depths of 7’-15’ in gravel spawning pockets. Being a bit deeper is a good thing. The water came up, but the fish probably held to the same areas because the water never stabilized. It is already beginning to drop. Keep the bait on the bottom.
