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.

Snow and jerkbait are usually a good combination on Table Rock. Fish windblown points and bluff ends. Don’t sit in one spot to long and don’t pause the bait for too long as well. More of a slow steady cadence is best. Key on bluff ends with timber. It seems like a jerkbait with a small amount of bright color help, a little red or chartreuse. If you see fish near the bait using FFS do not stop the bait keep it moving. Use a steady twitch twitch twitch to trigger strikes. Fluorocarbon line is critical so the bait can reach depths of 8’-10’ deep.

The Rock Crawler bite is still solid and might be expanding a bit. This bite is considerably better when they are pulling water and this positioning the fish, especially in the rivers. On the main river fish 45˚ banks that have larger rocks mixed with them. Really key in on the channel swings at the end of the 45˚ banks. If there is a small gut in the 45˚ bank it also seems the fish can be positioned on either of the little points that is created. These fish are consistently in 6’-8’ of water or less. Cloudy and windy days help this bite. Use crawfish-colored Rock Crawlers crankbaits.

The swimbait/Damiki bite is still the most consistent bite on the lake. There are two places to look for fish. In the large creek arms on the main lake. It seems the main lake fish are more catchable but are harder to locate than the creek fish. Look for small groups of fish around groups of shad. Use shad-colored swimbaits and Damiki rigs. The small groups of bass that are higher in the water column are the most catchable fish and most aggressive. Plan on being on the trolling motor and looking at the FFS screen all day.
