Hey everyone, first post.

I am traveling to the Springfield/Branson area for business next week and have a half day to myself. Often carry my travel spinning road in my luggage as I will for this trip. Looking for recommendations on where to go with limited tackle and resources. Wondering if I should rent a kayak and hit table rock or do a float trip down one of the local rivers? Most important to me is catching bass and nice scenery, remember on spin tackle and soft plastics. Recommendations on where to go and outfitters appreciated,

Thanks!

I'm going up to Big Cedar next week. There are some good tips on Table Rock about 5 topics down in this forum. I'll post my results in about 4-5 days. I'm planning on kayak fishing down by the dam and in the arm by the resort.

Thanks this is a great site.

Thanks for the reply wookie, I did read your previous post. Pretty certain big cedar only rents to guests. Look forward to your report though.

Big Cedar no longer offers kayaks, and they don't allow fishing from the canoes. I called ahead to ask about boats, so I knew to bring my own. A little silly for a BPS-promoted resort, if you ask me. I'll post my fishing results in the other thread.
