Stone County Bassmasters

Imagine gliding across the glassy expanse of Table Rock Lake as dusk settles on Cape Fair Marina—this is the scene for the Stone County Bassmasters’ Friday night derby on July 11, 2025. You’ll launch from the marina’s floating docks in your choice of Phoenix, Nitro, or Triton bass boat, rigged with fluorocarbon lines and pro-favorite War Eagle spinnerbaits. With a $50 entry fee, anglers of every skill level—families, weekend warriors, and tournament regulars—vie for cash payouts totaling $2,000 and premium swag from Yeti, Shimano, and Rapala.

How Do You Hook the Big One?
Start your evening targeting submerged gravel bars and creek mouths with ¼-ounce tungsten jigs tipped with Berkley PowerBait. As twilight deepens, switch to high-contrast ChatterBaits and swim jigs—brands like Z-Man and Strike King—to trigger those late-bite monsters lurking near rip-rap. High-definition Garmin LiveScope or Lowrance HDS Live electronics will reveal active schools beneath the boat, guiding your casts to pinpoint accuracy.
