Lake of the Ozarks was showing out on Wednesday. Bob and I launched in the Grand Glaize arm and connected with fish almost immediately. Early in the day, a deep-diving crankbait was the deal. The current wasn’t moving very hard, and the bass seemed more spread out, setting up on points and roaming enough that covering water with a crankbait was the fastest way to get bites. As the day went on, we worked our way toward the Shawnee Bend area, and that’s when things got really fun. Big swimbaits took over, and we caught more fish than we could count. The bass were relating to main lake and secondary points, and if that point had brush on it, it seemed to reload with fish all day long. On one spot, we literally caught around 20 fish in a row, getting bit on nearly every cast before finally deciding to move on and look for another group. Bob and I decided to stick around and fish the Wednesday nighter. During practice, we had put together roughly a 20-pound limit, but as the evening progressed, the quality seemed to fade and the fish got a little smaller. Since it was a four-fish limit, we ended up with four that weighed 10.81 pounds on my scales before releasing them and heading home. It was one of the best fishing days I’ve had all year, and spending it on the water with my buddy Bob made it even better. If you’re headed to Lake of the Ozarks soon, the baits listed below should put you around plenty of fish. Be sure to use code LUKE10 at Omnia Fishing to save 10% on your order.

Deep docks were the way to go. Found the cleanest water we could and skipped into the darkest part of the dock. It was slow going at first but eventually we figured out that the docks on points were way higher percentage and were able to point hop around and ended up catching close to 18 pounds for our best 5

Normally, Lake of the Ozarks in June is all about the current. Fish should be schooled up on main lake points and biting a variety of lures. However, due to lack of rain this year, we don’t have the current needed to position these fish. This causes them to spread out and suspend, especially under docks. I have been catching quality bass flipping a 1/2 oz Crock-O-Gator Zapper Jig in green pumpkin with a Zoom Speed Craw trailer. I am targeting docks from the mouth to 1/2 way back in the coves and flipping the back walkways and corners. Most bites are coming on the fall, so remember to watch your line!
