Omnia Fishing Report: Table Rock Lake Pre-Spawn Action So here’s the lowdown from Table Rock. Got a little late start,yeah, had to snap some glam shots of the boat since she’s about to hit the market. Finally launched and rigged up, and by 8:30 I made that first cast. Of course, the fish decided to play heartbreaker right out of the gate, missed a couple on the minnow, but hey, that’s fishing. Spent the next chunk of the morning doing a little detective work for those jig fish. We combed through main lake points, secondary points, even those sneaky little points tucked in the back of creeks. Honestly, it was a bit of a ghost town in some spots. But persistence paid off, by the afternoon, we got dialed in and nailed a nice 5 pounder on a Motion Fishing Flash Mob football jig. That got the momentum rolling. Found a few more areas with fish pushing over three pounds and got into a groove. Secondary rocky points seemed to be the ticket for these nice sized bass. Foot By the time the wind picked up, we switched to a Spro Rock Crawler and started pulling them in that 6-10 foot range on rocky banks. Basically, Table Rock’s shaping up for a sweet pre-spawn bite. If you’re heading out, check out the hot baits I mentioned and don’t forget to use code Luke10 to save yourself 10% on all your Omnia Fishing gear.

Caught a bunch of fish up shallow around flooded bushes. Some were on beds, and some were just cruising. The bigger fish seemed to be out deeper on the old shore line.

You could catch all three species of bass doing this technique. The smallies were on flatter points with gravel/chunk rock mix. Large mouth and spots came on steeper banks with bigger chunk rock. We had 15lbs in just a couple hours once the sun got up. Stay in the wind if possible. 4.30 smallie and 4.27 largemouth 2.40 spot. I had the best luck on Norman NXS but they aren’t listed on Omnia right now.
