We found a few rig fish practicing for a college derby at Lake of the Ozarks. We caught most of our bass on larger brush piles off of dock corners and secondary points. They didn't show up in the same fashion for the tourney, but we caught several bass over 5 during practice. I will try to post a more in depth video about what we did and our main takeaways from the event on my youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtpYNuW00uebSY4fQPw5z4A

Fish were very few and far between. The best luck I had was drop shotting a biospawn plasma tail near and around docks/points. There was no real pattern to be found. I heard of some people killing it on slow sinking jerkbaits off of bush piles, some people were having luck throwing A-rigs off of wind blown points, some were throwing Carolina rigs so there was no true pattern to be found. In the main areas in the Gravois arm the water temp was 45-46° where as in the river sections of the Gravois it was 48-49°.
