lake ozark 2-20-16 / great day to be out

caught some dandy's today

we drove to shawnee bend again this morning, and the place was packed out- that will teach me to post a good report the day before. haha

turned around and went on the up river side- I'm not saying WHERE until i get done fishing tomorrow .

several nice slabs- one 2 1/2 lb sow and several more right at the 2 lb mark.
caught the bigger ones over a rockpile that i put a bunch of brush and pvc beds on last year.
rigging 10-12 over 15-18ft ft,half way back in the deep coves, silver/chart double jigs seemed to be the ticket again today, no minnows were harmed today

water temps 42-50 and murky

I hope the cold front and north wind doesn't shut them off tomorrow
.
good luck and Tight lines

Darn nice fish!

alright that's it...next week I'm going

I'd say those are some dandies. congrats

SWEET!

bet them boats already knew the fish were biting, word travels fast in the coffee shops and bars. congrats. on the fishing.

Looks like it was a good choice to change areas. Congrats.

them are some nice ones for sure.

You sure got some good ones congrats.

Nice fish !!

What a hawg!

rough start to the day,
dead battery in the truck( door not closed all the way and dome light ran it dead) quick charge and hooked the boat up.
got to water about 9 am left at 12pm (due to technical difficulties.)

dropped some more pvc/wood beds in a new spot before we got started.

a weak cold front moved in overnight 45 degrees this morn and got nice quickly in the low 60's, clear blue bird skies with a north wind,
the fish didn't seem to care

went up the big river to the rock pile were we caught some slabs at yesterday. caught 5 good fish 1 1/2 to 2 lbs before the trolling motor decided to mess up and floated of the spot. (the variable switch went bad i assume and would only work on high if i jumped the wires)

as soon as we get fired back up to get back on it, a bass boat pulled right on top of it a camped out for over 2 hours (the b@st@rds), they did catch some nice bass and i assume they were in a tournament. They were still there when we left. i knew i should have brought a grenade launcher i bet they would have left quickly!

we managed to catch 6 more smaller fish drifting with the wind before we got disgusted and headed home.


same pattern and colors as yesterday, i just wish things would have went a little smoother.
i have no complaints for being able to fish the last several days in 60-70 degree weather, in February and catch a bunch of fish
calling for snow Wednesday haha, it aint pronounced Missouri its pronounced misery.
good luck and tight lines

Excellent job and a great weekend , should get better for next couple of months

Loz fish don't get any better than that.....nice work.

Those blacks are as nice as you can catch anywhere.
