Spring Bite Happening on Table Rock!

Trip Summary

The Gator Boys from Louisiana came up and put in work on Table Rock today. Water temp at the dam was sitting right at 47–48 degrees, so we had to slow down and grind for them, but they were ready for it. We caught them shaking a minnow and cranking. The bite wasn’t fast, but it was steady when you did things right. Cover some water with the crankbait, then slow it down and shake that minnow around the right areas and they’d load up. The Trika 10X rods and reels were dialed in today. In that cold water, sensitivity makes all the difference, and when they bit, those rods let you feel everything. The Louisiana boys showed out, adjusted to the conditions, and Table Rock rewarded them.

Well shoot… the bass didn’t stand a chance today! Captain Spencer Clark, better known around these parts as “The Hillbilly Hulk” of Breaking Bass Guide Service, took a momma and her two boys all the way from the great state of Mississippi out on Table Rock Lake this afternoon… and let’s just say them fish got whooped! These folks stayed busy reelin’ all afternoon and ended up puttin 25+ bass in the boat! The big show stopper was a 5.03 lb smallmouth hog, along with another chunky 3½ pound smallmouth that tried its best to get away but didn’t have the horsepower. Every one of them fish got wrangled in on Trika rods and reels — tough enough to handle them mean ol’ Table Rock bronzebacks.

Took some good folks from California out on the water today and lemme tell ya… they showed up at the right dang time. The bass are in full prespawn feed mode and they are straight up chewin’. From the first stop this morning it was rod bendin’, drag squealin’, and folks hollerin’ every few minutes. Those prespawn bass are fattenin’ up and they were hammerin’ baits all day long. We bounced around, stayed on ’em, and kept the rods loadin’ up. Just the kind of fishin’ day we like around here. Even caught a turtle. The crew was throwin’ Trika rods and reels and those setups handled them angry prespawn bass like a champ. When a big one tried to dig back down, that gear held strong and kept ’em comin’ to the boat. Check them out at **hidden content** Nothin’ better than a boat full of good folks, bent rods, and big bass tryin’ to yank the rod outta your hands. If you’ve been thinkin’ about goin’ fishin’, now’s the dang time. This prespawn bite is heatin’ up and it’s only gonna get better.
