Ill be on vacation from texas at table rock lake around Kimberling city june 19th-25th can anyone recommend a guide for that area?

Thanks

• Glad to hear you are coming to my neck of the woods! I would highly reccomend using John Sappington, who you may also know as one of the FLW cup winners. He is a great guide and did a very job guiding for my mom and I on mothers day. You can check him out at www.fishingguidebranson.com. Good luck and happy fishing!

Give someone a fish and they will eat for a day, teach them how to fish and they will sit in a boat all day and drink beer.

Bill Babler or Bill Beck have forgotten more about Table Rock bass than most others will ever know. 

Pete Wenners is a good one also. He took us out the first morning of our vacation a few years ago and taught us a lot about the lake, helped us catch a lot of fish throughout the week.

Thanks guys..why are most guides catch and release? I want to keep fish for a fish fry.

They depend on those fish to make a living. If every angler kept their 5 and they fish 5 days a week, 100 bass a month taken out, 1,200 a year. Multiply that times several dozen guides. If you go to Table Rock and want fish for a fish fry, get a trout permit and some Powerbait and go down to Taneycomo and catch a bunch of trout.

Or go deep and get some of the big bluegills that everybody talks about, those are right up there with crappie and walleye as far as good eating fish.

Eric Prey www.FocusedFishing.com is a great guy and a better fisherman

If you want to eat the fish then tell the guide up front what you want. If he doesn't want to do that then find someone else. Also, Jerry Snider has a bait shop in Kimberling City and is a guide.
