Lake of the Ozarks Fishing Report: Umbrella Rigs, Ned Rigs & Prime Bite Times

# Lake of the Ozarks Fishing Report - November 29, 2025 Well folks, it's Artificial Lure here with your Saturday morning fishing report for Lake of the Ozarks. We're looking at a First Quarter Moon today, and visibility is sitting at about 50%, which means conditions are decent for getting out on the water. **Current Conditions & Timing** The major bite window is firing up right now from 6:20 to 8:20 AM, which is perfect timing since you're listening to this report. We've got another minor bite period hitting around 1:35 to 3:35 PM, and then major bites returning this evening from 6:36 to 8:36 PM. If you're planning an afternoon or evening session, mark those times on your calendar. **What's Working** Based on recent tournament results from the Toyota Series here at the Ozarks, umbrella rigs absolutely dominated the competition. We're talking forward-facing sonar setups with YUM Umbrella Flash Mob Jr. rigs paired with 3.25 to 3.8-inch swimbaits in pro blue, red pearl, and black shad colors. The winning anglers like Brock Reinkemeyer were throwing these on the Gravois arm and mixing in Megabass Vision 110 crankbaits in Kameyama ghost pearl for those power presentations. If you want a finesse approach, don't sleep on Ned rigs with Z-Man Ned Ochos or TRD CrawZ—these little baits are absolutely magic in clear water with rocky bottoms. Motion Fishing Finesse Jigs with Zoom Ultra Vibe Speed Craws also produced clutch fish recently. **Hot Spots to Hit** Head to the Gravois arm where the locals have been shining, or target brush and rock piles with your sonar. Jennings Branch Cove is just over half a kilometer from the main lake area and should be worth checking out this morning during that prime bite window. **Final Thoughts** December's just around the corner, so these November bites are some of your best. Get out there and make it happen. Thanks for tuning in to this fishing report! Make sure to subscribe for daily updates on Lake of the Ozarks conditions and tactics.
