  • Summary

  • As of November 3, 2024, the fishing scene at Lake of the Ozarks is showing some promising signs, despite the transitional weather.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. Today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 45 degrees. The wind is light, coming in from the northwest at about 5 mph, which should make for a relatively calm day on the water.

    Sunrise was at 6:43 AM, and sunset is scheduled for 5:04 PM, giving you a good window to get out there and catch some fish.

    For those familiar with Lake of the Ozarks, you know it's a large, man-made lake without tides, so you don't have to worry about tidal changes affecting your fishing.

    Fish activity has been moderate, with reports from yesterday indicating that crappie fishing is starting to pick up. Anglers were able to catch some decent-sized crappie, particularly in the deeper waters around submerged structures and near brush piles. Bass fishing has been a bit tougher, but there are still opportunities to catch some big ones if you're patient and in the right spots.

    Yesterday, several bass were caught during the Big Bass Bash event, with many of these fish coming from the points where the shad schools were active. However, the wind shift affected the shad movement, so you'll need to adjust your strategy accordingly.

    For lures, jigs and crankbaits have been working well for bass. For crappie, try using small jigs tipped with minnows or curly tail grubs. Live bait such as minnows and shad are also effective, especially for crappie.

    Some hot spots to consider include the Glaize Arm and the Osage Arm. The Glaize Arm has been producing some good crappie catches near the submerged humps and drop-offs. The Osage Arm, with its numerous points and rock structures, is a good place to look for bass.

    Overall, it's a good time to get out on the water at Lake of the Ozarks. Just be prepared for the cooler weather and adjust your fishing tactics based on the changing conditions.
