43,000-acre Ozark highland reservoir; deep clear water, bass on points and timber. The lake tops out around 218 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
On the chart, Table Rock Lake draws 39,368 acres inside 650.9 miles of shoreline — 16 islands included. An index of 23.4 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 17% of this chart. Call it 25.4 mi long by 21.6 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Stone County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lake Taneycomo, 20 mi east of here.
In spring, largemouth bass run shallow here, mostly 2 to 10 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 20 ft, and winter fish settle into 15 to 35 ft. Shoreline point is the standout, a point at roughly 13 ft, rated prime for fall largemouth bass. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait most summer days.

A drop shot (goby/minnow) or a ned rig covers the summer program.
