My Table Rock MO trip was during the coldest April weather on record. Oh well, I was there so lets see what happens?? The week before I arrived it was 80+ degrees and the fish were on the beds everywhere. When I got there there had been a cold front which lowered the temps to a high of 45 the first day, 25 at night and a high of 37 after that with winds of 15 out of the North with spitting snow. I targeted Smallies as I thought they would tolerate the colder temps better. A watermelon pepper lizard TX rigged was the ticket and the first day the fish were still on the beds, after that they pulled off to the deeper water. Nothing huge but steady action, I was surprised to catch anything especially catching several decent hard fighting smallies and largemouth. It was sad to see the perch demolish the beds without the buck bass there to protect it. After three days of these cold temps the largemouth bass were almost white and such light biters it was quite an education, once hooked they fought rather hard but it was the lightest bite I ever felt. I was the only one in our party to catch anything and I credit my Loomis GLX's and Vanish Transition with the sensitivity to feel the soft bites. Table Rock was good to me even though the weather was very harsh, even miserable.  I have been to Lake Fork when the slightest cold front would shut off the shallow bite, guess MO bass are more adaptable. Can't wait to try it again soon with better conditions. 8-)

I'll be looking forward to your posts on Table Rock. I am heading there this July to fish for the first time. Keep us posted

Except for the weather doesn't sound like a bad trip to the rock.In the best of condisions the rock is a very hard lake to fish.Heard alot of nightmares about it.
