It was a crazy busy Memorial Day weekend but we were able to get on fish every day! We were taking our clients fishing on a Tritoon as Bass Boat fishing would put one in a chiropractor office in the rough seas we had all weekend. This great family caught some nice fish today!

Catfish anyone? This one weighed 42 pounds. We’re truly blessed to have such a great fishery at Lake of the Ozarks!

The fish are biting, let’s go fishing! My daughters caught a few on jigs this evening around a Marina dock on the lower end of the lake.

04/05/2024

Caught a few Crappie for dinner last evening. The Sandy Minnow colored Slapper jig by Ol Blue Tackle (https://www.olbluetackle.com/ )worked well once again! Fish were caught around condo docks in 40-50’ of water. Still very large schools of crappie around a lot of the condo docks on the lower end of the lake.

Went out for a couple hours this evening with a buddy after the wind laid down. A couple quick limits! Let’s go fishing soon!

Fun but very windy day of crappie fishing on Lake Ozark!

The winter Crappie bite is great right now! Shout out to Ol Blue Tackle, a local Lake Ozark company that makes the 2” plastic white squid jig I used paired with 1/16 oz. Chartreuse and pink jig heads. I also used pink Crappie niblets and Hawg Jam on the jig body. Give us a call and let’s go fishing! Captain Chris Barber

The water needs to be shut off at Timberlake and Forest Point condos as the pipes froze and busted on 3 of the fish cleaning stations. I took these pictures this evening around 5pm. Water spraying high in the air.

Our clients caught some good ones this week! Most were 10-30 feet deep. Put some warm clothes on and let’s go fishing!

Anyone wanting to fish a fun amateur crappie tournament this Saturday, October 14, check out the Traffic Jam Pub and Grub sponsored tournament. It’s very affordable and a lot of fun. There’s also a fish fry following the weigh in and awards presentation. You can learn more about the tournament via the Traffic Jam page. I hope to see you there!

Nice crappie outing this evening! Deep brush was the ticket. Let’s go fishing!

Hey fellow anglers, I tested one of the “Ol Blue Tackle” jig models this morning on deep brush piles on Lake of the Ozarks. Their jigs are quite durable and I like the unique look and design of several of their jigs. I believe throwing something different at the fish is not only fun but quite often productive. I’ve had good results with their flat tail slapper jigs and the squid model jigs in clear and monkey milk color this week. Most importantly, I’m happy to report the fish like them! I also caught fish yesterday on their pink and chartreuse miniature split tail jigs. I don’t make many product endorsements and when I do they’re genuine and non-compensated. Check out their website and give them a try, I think you’ll like them too.
