Table Rock late March

[judecca]

We will be in the area on March 26-27 and would like to get out on TR and catch a few bass. Never been so I'd really appreciate a depth or general area we could start looking... don't want anyone's secret honey hole or best spot lol, just some general knowledge would be awesome.
Also, any areas to avoid/hazards etc? (Will have Navionics Charts onboard.)

Thanks in advance!

all I can tell you is... get ready for clearer water than your use to.

You might get some information by watching reports from a couple of guides, Pete Wenners and Eric Prey report pretty regularly. The lake is large enough for conditions to vary depending on what part of the lake you will be on. You can travel close to 50 miles from the dam up some of the tributaries.

Also check the reports on Ozarkanglers.com forum. You can scroll back to last March to see what was happening that time last year.

Weather will dictate a lot! It can be 70 and 50+ degree water or 40 and 43 degree water.....if it’s nice, and you’re down by the damn, find islands and humps with electronics and swim a 4” inch grub on a 1/4 oz jig in natural shad or baby bass color. Monster smallmouth can be caught in numbers at this end of the lake using this technique. Usually in 15-25 ft of water make long casts with 7ft med action spinning rod and 8lb flouro for line. Count jig down a bit and slow roll it back with ocaissiobal twitch.

Or the water could be 10 - 30 feet above normal, and you'll be flipping trees, buck brush, and furniture in people's yards.

I love the lake, but water levels can get crazy in March.
