Of course, Missouri's Table Rock Lake is a heavily trafficked fishery. And it's the site of the final Bassmaster Elite Series event of the season, where the Elite Series Angler of the Year title will be decided.
BassFans who want a preview of what the fishing will be like should keep an eye on the Heartland Trails Elite Tour Championship, which takes place at Table Rock the Friday and Saturday before official Elite Series practice begins. Heartland is one of the top Missouri circuits, and a number of hardcore Table Rock sticks will be fishing it.
