Table Rock Lake, Shell Knob, Missouri has been known for being a great lake for bass fishing, but the normal warm-up in March has yet to arrive. Ice, snow and heavy rains had the lake level up to 917' at one point. Levels are slowly going down to prepare for spring rains.
Current water temperature is still in the low 40's, which means that very few bass are being caught. The hardy anglers who have been catching fish are using jigs, grubs and tubes in water 20' to 40'.
Spring must be coming soon. The lake is filled with migrating ducks!

NO CULLING ON TABLE ROCKTable Rock Lake is an excellent bass lake, and therefore a popular Bass Tournament location, where "culling" is often used."Culling" is the practice of releasing a fish that was caught, so a larger one can be kept. This can mean the difference during a tournament of winning or losing. July and August are the months when the no culling rule applies. During these months, as the water heats up, oxygen for the fish gets scarce and mortality rates rise. Tournament bass anglers may cull live bass from September through June. Missouri's limit on black bass is six per (3 comments)
