Lake of the Ozarks Fishing Report - Walleye, White Bass, & Spring Bass on the Bite

# Lake of the Ozarks Fishing Report Well folks, it's been an exciting week here at the Ozarks, and I've got some great intel to share with you. **Current Conditions** Water temps are sitting right around 50 degrees across most of the lake—and that's significant because that's what guides call "go time" for walleye and the start of white bass runs. We've had some early spring-like temperatures this week that have fish all confused and activated. The recent rain brought about an inch, so water levels are stable and fishing conditions look solid. **What's Biting** Bass fishing has been really good lately. Both largemouth and spotted bass are holding in deeper sections of creek channel outer bends around 10 to 16 feet deep. On those warm sunny days we've had, you're seeing some male bass roaming the shallows too—classic prespawn behavior. Crappie are slowly moving up and prestaging in brush around the 20-foot range, and striped bass are beginning to run, which means multiple opportunities ahead. **Tackle and Bait That Works** For bass, spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and jigs in shallow water around 3 to 4 feet are producing. Jerkbaits, swimbaits, and Rat-L-Traps work well in 6 to 12 feet. Bladed jigs and tandem willow blade spinnerbaits continue drawing solid reactions from black bass. For crappie, small jigs and minnows in that 20-foot range are your best bet. Stripers are responding to swimbaits, Rat-L-Traps, and spinnerbaits. **Hot Spots** Head to the creek channel bends and points near submerged structure—those areas are holding good populations right now. Secondary points with creek channel access are also prime real estate this time of year. Thanks for tuning in! Don't forget to subscribe for your weekly updates.
