Freshwater Missouri In search of a hot bass lake (see what we did there)? Look no further than Table Rock Lake in Branson. This lake does not discriminate – there are plenty of bass to go around, from spotted to largemouth. With clear, calm water, it is no wonder why so many people want to get out on this lake for their chance to reel in a trophy. Get into a kayak and sneak through the water as smoothly as possible, then let the sun work for you by casting shadows on your bait. The rest is history. pro tip Stick with live bait, or in a pinch, something small and natural-looking.
