Largemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureDocksThis Saturday, we fished OMTT out of PB2. We ran up to the Hurricane Deck area—my partner had been on fish there. The bite was tough, but we started with a bang: he caught a 3.5- to 4-pounder on a creature bait. I followed with a solid 3.5-pounder on a spinnerbait. After a long lull, we headed back toward takeoff and filled our limit on a green pumpkin and B Hite Delight JackHammer chatterbait. The fish were set up behind docks in the back corners, easier to catch in that cleaner water. Most were halfway back on secondary points. We ended with 16.13 pounds, finishing 48th out of 200 boats. We just needed one more kicker fish! If you’re heading to Lake of the Ozarks, you can wind ’em or fish the bottom—trust your confidence.

After a HUGE cold front pushed through, the bite dried up to almost nothing. It wasn't until I picked up a deep KVD 300 that the fish came alive. Fishing main lake and secondary points with chunk rock, a few quick jerks with a 5 sec pause was the deal. I landed a 3.5lb fishing the strobe shad around the edges of docks

Very windy day targeting secondary points leading to spawning pockets. The back dock corners on the rock transitions offered bites throughout the day but with all the fishing pressure of the big bass bash seems the big ones were harder to find.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Walking)SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructurePointsFished mainly in the Big Niangua section of the lake. Caught fish on a glide bait, jig, and topwater. Better fish came on the jig and glide bait. The wind was blowing 20+ mph all day with much higher gust. A cold front was pushing through the area. Better fish were on main lake points and banks.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard Body SwimbaitsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureRip RapMainly fished in the Linn Creek area of the lake. Caught several on the dogma topwater walking bait but those were mainly small keepers. Caught several on a finesse jig behind docks (may have been on beds that I couldn’t see). My better fish for the day came on the glide bait in less than 5ft of water.

Carolina rig main lake points and secondary points with decent size rock on them. Ones with the boat ramps seemed to work better on this day. Flip baits to back corners of docks.

The bigger fish have moved back to the pea gravel mix banks setting up for the spawn.
