Bass Best Bass Lakes In The Country List

I was surprised to see our local lakes slip down the list as far as they did. They say its from the late starts the past few years

33. Bull Shoals

68. Table Rock

96. Lake of the Ozarks

LOZ was up in the 30's last year ahead of both BS and TR. One standout in the list that surprised me was at 79. Small little Lake Mozingo. They say it consistently gives 20lb+ bags with some up to 30lbs. Didn't know that lake had that quality of bass in it.

Number one was Sturgeon Bay off Lake Michigan in Wisconsin. Supposedly smallmouth heaven.

To be real truthful with you I hope LOZ stays there. Because In know better.

Take it for what it is worth. In my opinion their rating system is very flawed. The last 2 years they sent me a list of lakes & asked me to rank them, very few in MO. & many more in other states that I have never heard of. The lakes I am familiar with I ranked while the ones I was not I did not. If enough people rank lakes they are unfamiliar with just to complete the survey ( WHICH IN MY HUMBLE OPINION IS WHAT HAPPENED ) the rankings can & will be will be useless. A quick example, LOZ 96 out of 100 " REALLY " !!!!!!! I have followed & reviewed their rankings for the last 3 years & it has become more skewed & useless over that time. So this year I removed those pages from the magazine & am keeping them in the bathroom to serve a better purpose. So, again, in my humble opinion there ranking system is " FUBAR " !!!!!!!

The "late start" makes no sense - they rank a lake in northern WI #1 - talk about a late starting lake! I don't have a dog in this fight, so I don't care that much - but I agree the ranking system is messed up.

let them rank missouri lakes low on list, more fish for us locals to catch that way

Yep. Useless. No bass in Mozingo!
