Lake of the Ozarks (May 2) a chilly but beautiful May morning, I targeted both spawning fish behind docks and post-spawn fish off main lake points. Early on, I skipped a hollow-belly Berkley Swamp Lord Frog behind docks. Despite a slow start, a few blow-ups helped fill the boat. Transitioning offshore, I found my biggest fish—a 4.5-pounder—schooling on bait and caught it on a Megabass Magdraft the frog to round out a limit, though no other big bites came. In the afternoon, boat traffic picked up. I tried offshore points again, landing one on a minnow but facing finicky fish. Late in the day, I caught a few more around takeoff, but they didn’t upgrade the bag. I ended up with just over 12 pounds, finishing 30th. One more solid frog bite would’ve made the difference! If you’re heading to Lake of the Ozarks, stay versatile—from points to behind-the-dock shade lines. And for tackle, don’t forget to use code LUKE10 at Omnia Fishing to save 10%!

Most of our fish came on the backside of docks or under cable floats and walkway structures. Skipping and pitching. Docks on main lake points were most productive. Secondary points also produced some

Fished for 3 hours at the 34-mile marker. Caught 4 keeper largemouth bass, three 17-inch, and one 19.5-inch. All were caught behind docks on the main lake in 1 to 4 feet of water.
