Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting your feet wet, our guide Billy Elbert knows all the sweet spots where the fish are biting. So grab your hat and sunscreen, and let's hit the water!

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're cruising across Table Rock Lake, surrounded by the rolling Ozark Mountains, rod in hand, and the anticipation building. Our 4-hour trip is the perfect mix of relaxation and excitement. Billy's got years of experience under his belt, so he'll have you on the fish in no time.

Top Catches This Season

Alright, let's talk fish. Table Rock Lake is teeming with some real fighters, and we're targeting the cream of the crop. Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass are always crowd-pleasers, known for their acrobatics when hooked. If you're after something a bit different, we've got Rainbow and Brown Trout that'll give you a run for your money. And don't overlook the Crappie – these tasty panfish are a blast to catch and even better on the dinner table. Billy knows all the tricks to entice these fish, from the right lures to use to the perfect spots to cast.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"Billy did an amazing job being our guide this trip. My son was experienced in fishing, but I needed assistance more than I care to admit. He was helpful with demonstrating how to cast, was knowledgeable of his trade, and made this an unforgettable experience. He went above and beyond by taking a few pictures so this momma could capture these memories forever! I would highly recommend him." - Patti

"We had a vacation in Branson with our grandchildren. Billy was the best experience of the whole trip. We would highly recommend his fishing charter at anytime. Thank you for the wonderful memories with our grandchildren." - Robert

Species You'll Want to Hook

Let's break down the fish you'll be chasing on this trip. First up, Largemouth Bass. These guys are the kings of the lake, known for their aggressive strikes and powerful fights. They love to hang out near structure like submerged logs or rocky points. Spring and fall are prime times to catch them, but Billy knows how to find them year-round.

Smallmouth Bass, or "smallies" as we call 'em, are pound-for-pound some of the hardest fighting fish in the lake. They prefer cooler, rockier areas and will test your skills with their acrobatic leaps and dives. Early morning or late evening are great times to target these bronze beauties.

Now, let's talk trout. Rainbow Trout are a favorite among fly fishermen, but we can catch them on spinning gear too. They're known for their beautiful colors and tasty flesh. Brown Trout are the lake's shy residents, often lurking in deeper waters. Landing a big Brown is a real trophy, and they put up one heck of a fight.

Last but not least, we've got Crappie. Don't let their size fool you – these little guys are a blast to catch, especially when they're schooling. They're most active in spring during the spawn, but we can find them year-round. And let me tell you, there's nothing better than a plate of fried Crappie after a day on the water!

Time to Book Your Spot

So there you have it, folks. A 4-hour fishing adventure on Table Rock Lake that's got it all – stunning scenery, a variety of fish, and a guide who knows his stuff. Whether you're looking to land that trophy bass or just want to spend a relaxing morning on the water, we've got you covered. Don't let this chance slip away like a big one off the hook. Give us a call at SoMo Fish Co and let's get you out on the water. Trust me, once you've fished Table Rock with Billy, you'll be hooked for life!

Learn more about the species

Brown Trout

Brown trout are the wary giants of cold streams, averaging 2-4 pounds but capable of topping 20. They prefer cooler, deeper holes with plenty of cover. Fall is prime time as they get aggressive before spawning. Anglers prize browns for their size, fighting ability, and the challenge of fooling them. These fish are notoriously shy, so stealth is key. Try drifting a big streamer through deep runs at dusk when browns come out to hunt. When one hits, be ready for a dogged fight - they rarely jump but use their bulk and current to their advantage. Local secret: after a good rain that stains the water, browns let their guard down. That's your chance to target the real monsters hiding under cut banks.

Brown Trout

Crappie

Crappie are fun-sized panfish, usually 7-12 inches and under a pound. You'll find them schooling around brush piles and timber in lakes year-round. Spring is prime time when they move shallow to spawn. Locals love targeting crappie because they're great eating and you can often catch a bunch. Plus, light tackle makes even small ones feel like they put up a good scrap. To get on a hot bite, try drifting small jigs under a bobber near submerged trees. Experiment with depth until you find the school. Once you do, it's often fish after fish. Pro tip: bring plenty of jigs - you might lose a few in the branches, but that's where the crappie live!

Crappie

Largemouth Bass

Largemouth bass are the big dogs of the sunfish family, averaging 1-4 pounds but sometimes topping 10. They love hanging out near structure in shallow, weedy areas of lakes and ponds. Spring and fall are prime times to target them, when they're feeding aggressively in warmer shallows. Anglers go crazy for largemouth because of their acrobatic fights and willingness to smash topwater lures. To up your odds, try working a weedless frog lure slowly across lily pads on a calm summer evening. When a big bucket mouth explodes on it, hold on tight! Just remember, they can be a bit sluggish in the heat of summer, so fish deeper or early/late in the day then.

Largemouth Bass

Rainbow Trout

Rainbow trout are the colorful acrobats of cold mountain streams, usually 1-5 pounds. You'll find them in clear, fast-moving water around riffles and pools. Spring and fall are prime seasons when water temps are ideal. Anglers love 'bows for their beautiful markings and tendency to leap when hooked. For a fun challenge, try drifting a small nymph under an indicator through likely holding spots. When a trout takes, set the hook fast - they're quick to spit out artificial flies. Local trick: on bright days, focus on shaded pockets where trout feel more secure. And don't forget to check your knots - big rainbows have a knack for exposing weak spots in your setup!

Rainbow Trout

Smallmouth Bass

Smallmouth bass are stream-dwelling bruisers, typically 2-4 pounds but capable of pushing 8. They love cool, rocky rivers with plenty of current. Fall is a favorite time to target them as they fatten up before winter. Anglers prize smallies for their acrobatic fights - pound for pound, they're some of the hardest fighting freshwater fish. To hook into one, try working a crawdad-colored crankbait along rocky shorelines or through deeper pools. When a smallmouth hits, be ready for an explosive battle complete with airborne leaps. Local secret: on sunny days, focus on shaded areas under overhanging trees or cliffs where smallies like to ambush prey.
