Lake of the Ozarks Fishing Report: Fall Bite Strong, Crappie and Bass Feeding on Craw Baits, Topwater Lures Crushing It

Folks, it's Artificial Lure here with your Lake of the Ozarks fishing report for October 21, 2025. The fall bite is strong, with crappie and bass feeding on craw baits, squarebills, and topwater. Phil Meyer recently won big at the Big Bass Bash using the Sleeper Craw, so that's a lure to keep in mind. Weather-wise, expect cooler temperatures with highs in the 60s and 70s, similar to nearby areas like Lake Taneycomo. There's a chance of rain on Friday and Saturday. Sunrise today is about 7:26 AM, with sunset around 6:04 PM. Hot spots include the lake's numerous rocky points and coves. For lures, try the Megabass SUPER-Z for cranking, and don't forget topwater for early morning and late evening bites. Thanks for tuning in Don't forget to subscribe for more updates.
