Promising Fishing at Lake of the Ozarks with Crappie, Bass, and Fall Conditions - November 8, 2024

  • Summary

  • As of November 8, 2024, the fishing scene at Lake of the Ozarks is looking promising, especially with the crisp fall conditions.

    ### Weather and Time
    The sunrise today is at about 6:30 AM, and sunset will be around 4:45 PM. The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 45 degrees Fahrenheit. There is no significant tidal activity to report since Lake of the Ozarks is a freshwater lake.

    ### Fish Activity
    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, along with a few bass. The bass bite has been steady, particularly around brush piles and structure.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    Yesterday, anglers reported catching crappie in the 10-12 inch range, with some larger ones up to 14 inches. Bass catches included both largemouth and smallmouth, with sizes ranging from 2-4 pounds. The crappie are starting to move into shallower waters as the water temperature cools down.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For bass, topwater lures such as poppers and spoons are working well, especially in the early morning and late afternoon. Jigs and soft plastics are also effective when targeting bass around brush piles and submerged structures. For crappie, jigs tipped with minnows or small curly tail grubs are producing good results. Live bait like minnows and crickets are also highly effective.

    ### Hot Spots
    Some of the best places to fish right now include the mid-lake area around the 50-mile marker, where several brush piles and sunken logs are attracting both bass and crappie. Another hot spot is the Grand Glaize Arm, where the crappie are congregating around submerged trees and rocky points.

    Overall, it's a great time to be out on the water at Lake of the Ozarks, with plenty of fish to be caught and beautiful fall scenery to enjoy.
