Branson: ...more Fishing guides are seeing fish on beds all over the lower end of the lake right now. Several are locked on and more will be locked on by the time the weekend gets here. If you like to sight fish now is the time to come to Table Rock. The best presentations are smaller baits fished with a light weight. Branson fishing guides have been doing well with Tightlines UV green red flake finesse worms and tubes on either a Jewel 3/16 oz. squirrel head or a light weigh Zeka rig. Split shot rigs and Squirrel heads are also working for staging fish on secondary points near spawning coves.
Kimberling City: The spawn is a little further along in the Kimberling City area. Branson fishing guides have been targeting fish with the same Tightlines lures and head combos wherever beds are found. Staging fish have been a little bigger than the spawners, look for them to be holding between 6’ – 15’ deep on secondary points at the mouths of spawning pockets. Jewel Squirrel head jigs with UV finesse worms and beavers have been the best presentation.
James River: The rain over the weekend has added some more color to the James River making sight fishing a little more difficult than in Branson. Fishing guides have been targeting bedding fish with UV baits but have done better with solid colors like UV green or black / blue. If you are having trouble finding beds remember that fish will use rock and wood cover to spawn next to, usually backing up to the cover so they don’t have to protect the full 360 degree area of the nest.
White River: The further up the White River you go the further along in the spawn the fish are. Better fish have locked on from Shell Knob on up while you will still see mostly “cruisers” down to Kimberling City. The same presentations are working for spawning fish on the White. Split shot rigged UV finesse worms and fish doctors have been the ticket to target staging fish, work secondary points from 5’ – 12’ deep near spawning pockets to be successful.
