Fishing the Bass Spawn at Lake of the Ozarks

The bass spawn is in full swing here at Lake of the Ozarks, which makes for some fun fishing! Right now the male buck bass are up on the bank protecting their beds. They can be caught on jigs, shaky heads, and weightless plastics. The larger females are hanging back just outside of where the beds are located, and they are much harder to catch. Carolina rigs and big swimbaits such as the Magdraft will occasionally trick one of these trophies. We are still in the very early stages of the spawn, so more and more fish are moving up every day. This trend should continue through the next several weeks!
