As of October 17, 2024, the fishing scene at Lake of the Ozarks is buzzing with activity, especially with the Big Bass Bash tournament having just concluded. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Weather and Time
The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 68 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 50 degrees. Sunrise is at 7:23 AM, and sunset will be at 6:23 PM. Given the lake's location in a landlocked area, there are no tidal changes to consider.
### Fish Activity
Fishing has been challenging but rewarding, with many anglers reporting catches of significant size. The lake is healthy, and the fish are spread out from the fronts of the creeks to the back, making it essential to follow the baitfish, particularly the abundant shad population.
### Catches
Yesterday saw a variety of fish caught, including several four and five-pound bass. The tournament participants weighed in numerous big fish, with at least a four-pounder needed to secure a check. Expect to catch bass ranging from 13 to 17 inches, with the occasional larger fish.
### Best Lures and Bait
For this time of year, jigs are highly recommended, especially the Pro jig from Trophy Bass Company. Topwater baits like Buzzbaits and walking baits such as the Spook or Pop-R are effective, especially early in the morning and late in the afternoon. Soft plastics like brush hogs and beaver-style baits work well around docks, visible cover, and brush piles. Deep crankbaits on points and ledges can also produce big fish.
### Hot Spots
Focus on the backs of the creeks where shad are migrating, and around boat docks and shoreline cover. Isolated laydowns off the bank and shallow brush piles near docks are excellent targets. The main lake points and ledges are also productive, especially with deep crankbaits.
In summary, get out early with topwater baits, transition to jigs and soft plastics as the sun rises, and consider deep crankbaits for those bigger fish. With the right strategy and lures, you should have a successful day at Lake of the Ozarks.
