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 football jig starting to improve but is best early in the day and when they are pulling water. These fish on main lake and secondary points, throughout the lake. The fish are in 10’-20’ of water and if there is any kind of wood they are holding to that wood. Use a 5/16oz Pee Wee football jig in Hail Mary or PB&J. Keep the bait compact so use a trailer that is not too long. Try to really focus on the wood cover unless they are pulling water. Plan on fishing a lot of points during the day to get the bites.

Temp: Hi 80˚ Low 64˚
Wind: SSW 6-15 mph
There is Wart/Crawler bite happening. Use what you prefer, a wiggle wart or a rock crawler. Target channel swing banks that have ledge rock mixed in with them. The mixed rock near the ledges is an important detail. Make long casts and fish the bait with a steady retrieve. The fish are in 6’-12’ of water. Fish your favorite crawfish color but having a little splash of orange on the bait seems to help. Don’t just fish down a bank key on channel swings and ledge banks with large rocks mixed in.

Fish are really getting to the wood cover in the backs of creeks. With the water beginning to fall a little faster than it has for the last month it could slow this bite down. Plan on going in and out of creeks and pockets to find laydowns and wood cover. Use a spinnerbait, chatterbait, buzzbait, spook or jig to get bites. It can be slow, but the quality is better. You will find that one of the baits will work better than others on any given day. Bet on the jig most of the time.
