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.

6 - 10 fish all caught up shallow. Pre-cold front conditions and fairly clean water. Biggest was a 3.5lb on the shakey head. Fishing the worm slow followed with crankbait of some kind. Everything was catching fish!

CrappieTechniqueCrappie Sniping (Casting/Single Poling)SeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureDocksFound smaller males up on the banks in good numbers, larger females are still out deeper staging. Caught males casting to pea gravel banks. Females could be caught shooting docks under floats or could be found out roaming with FFS. Darker colors seemed to work the best for the mid lake area we were in.

Water temps were 58-60 degrees and water clarity was lightly stained to heavy stain. We targeted 45 degree chunk rock points with wind blowing directly on them. The most productive points were near channel swings on the main lake or just off the main lake. Key baits were 3/4 ounce tandem willow with large white blades. I used a Big Bitebaits Swimon in white and dipped the tail chartreuse. I slow rolled this around points that had docks on them. If there Were no docks present in the point I threw a Spro RK crawler. Either red craw or burnt craw were the main producers.
