Thank you all for the recommendations and everything I truly appreciate it! I am definitely bringing some night crawlers with me for my sons and will give the grubs and ned rig setup a try for them too. Thank you very much. If it was just myself I have no problem going to main lake or anywhere with big boats have done it many times with my dad but my 2 haven't been on boats a ton so that is my big worry. That is how I grew up fishing around docks for crappie but when I was younger and my grandparents owned a house down there we knew many of the dock owners we fished and they didn't mind me making a mistake and I fished around my grandparents dock where we had many cedars too. But I didn't want to try dock fishing and having my kids hitting docks or worse down there. I may just try going down to TRL and going into the river arms.

1 is 8 years old and 1 is 7 years old. Both have fished a little with me on ponds and on little rivers. Boat is an 18 foot bass tracker. For table rock it would be anywhere that I can get in and get to good fishing I would be coming from south of St. Louis. LOZ I have always fished around Osage beach my grandparents use to have a house right on the lake there and so I spent a lot of time there but just thinking of trying something different but still hoping to catch fish. I won’t ask where you are catching them at table rock but I really appreciate the report and what you were catching them on!

I am in need of some help. So I have fished for crappie my whole life and just started recently (last year) getting into bass fishing. I have fished Lake of the Ozarks growing up with my dad but again for crappie. In about 2 weeks I am wanting to take a small trip to either Lake of the Ozarks or Table Rock to do some bass fishing with 2 of my sons. I have never been to Table Rock and haven't been to Lake of the Ozarks in probably 5 years so I was wondering which would be better to make the trip to? I still fish been going to Canada mostly the past few summers can't now because of work and I do fish smaller rivers around where I live this is what got me into bass fishing with my father in law so not like its my first time or anything fishing. Was hoping to get some advice on which lake someone else in my position would pick and possibly any tips or certain lures you would use? I do have a boat that I will be bringing and using have been looking at both lakes to find places to put in and everything but thought maybe I could get some advice from anyone that fishes those two lakes. Thanks for any help or advice I appreciate it.

Ok question for anyone. I am just starting to get into Bass fishing and am trying to pick the right line for my needs. I have a baitcaster I will be setting up and a spinning reel to setup. With only 2 reels being used what type of line should I put on each? I have fished crappie my whole life and decided I would like to get into bass fishing more. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.
