Comment: Although bass can be caught year-round, the best times are spring and fall. Fish points, brush, and docks. The best producing lures are topwater baits (low light periods), plastic worms, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits. Winter is also an excellent time to fish for bass by slowly fishing jerkbaits off points. Crappie fishing should be excellent this spring as many fish from the large 1999 year class are now 10-inches or greater in length. In addition, a very large year class was produced in 2001. Pending survival of these young fish through the 2001/2002 winter, they should enter the harvest by fall of 2003. Concentrate on brushpiles, especially those located on or near points. The ability to locate good structure is the key to successful crappie fishing on Lake of the Ozarks. Small jigs (1/32 to 1/16 ounce) and minnows are the best baits. Catfish action should be similar to the past few years. The best months are April through September. Drifting and fishing live or cut shad on the bottom on days with a light breeze consistently produces the best catch. White bass fishing in 2002 should be normal. White bass up to 16 inches are available. Fish windy points, submerged islands and long, sloping points using either artificial lures or shad. Opportunities for catching hybrid white bass are good in the Truman Dam tailwater and, during the summer and winter months, in spring-fed areas of the lake. Walleye are now well established in Lake of the Ozarks after 10 years consistent stocking. Several of these fish are being caught on steep points on crankbaits, jigs, and minnows. The lake also offers good fishing for a number of other species including paddlefish, sunfish, gar, and carp. Remember to use proper handling techniques when releasing sublegal (or legal) fish back to the water to ensure their survival.
