Ed Franko Posted April 29, 2017 Author Posted April 29, 2017 It is a darn shame I said a darn shame.....I don't blame you for fishing it I probably would if I could.. However it just needs to be held earlier in the year. Relocation of the bigger bass has to have a effect on the fishery. But really what can we do I will have to say I spent several hours at Point Randall and all of the fish that were brought in were released alive and swam away to be caught agaIn. The staff at Point Randall were on it for sure.

Ed Franko Posted May 3, 2017 Author Posted May 3, 2017 Water Color Stained Water Temp 59 to 62 The lake has dropped from 660 to 657 in the past couple of days after the monsoon., The water color on my end is good to great with some areas 4 to 6 feet of visibility. To a brother and sister out today and they really had a good day. Rookie fisherman but willing to listen and learn. the first place we stopped at they caught about a dozen bass got broke off by a couple of good ones and lost others at the boat. They caught fish on a wacky worm and a topwater bait.. Good time for all. The fish were relating to the winter pool banks and previous spawning spots and pretty protective of they old homes. Got a new storm coming tomorrow no telling what that will do......

Ed Franko Posted May 22, 2017 Author Posted May 22, 2017 Fell off the charts for a while been fishing everyday and when I get in I have been painting lures and not posting.. The fishing here at he lake is really good I mean really good. You can catch them on crankbaits until the cows come home. The fish are shallow because of the muddy water an eager to eat.. I The water temp is in the low 70s and the lake has about a foot of visibility. Time to get out and go fishing ...... See you more on this later .
Members Yakalong Posted May 22, 2017 Members Posted May 22, 2017 I agree, the fishing was great, most of the fish are shallow. The water is very dirty but they are biting.
Ed Franko Posted May 25, 2017 Author Posted May 25, 2017 Biting like CRAZY all sizes all kinds. I have had a mixed bag week I have caught Largemouth, Kentucky's, Whites, Walleye, Big Flatheads,Blue Cats, and Crappie All on A Square bill crankbait . Good time for sure..... Come on down to the lake and lets go fishing.
slothman Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Ed, I I fished your bank today and did pretty well. Caught bass on everything. Spook, Texas rigged creature, wacky rigged senko, crankbait.
Ed Franko Posted May 29, 2017 Author Posted May 29, 2017 It has been real good this is a outstanding cove. I fish it when I am by myself but when I have clients I only fish it sometimes at the end of a day. I have a few pet fish that I can usually get to pull somebodys string you know... Lake ozark fishing is Good...... How good you ask.... Well you need a Chatterbait a Zara Spook , Red Crankbait or crankbait of choice and of course a bunch of shaker heads attached to some Zoom finesse worms and bingo you are off to the races. Once you cut through the muddy water and figure out it is the best thing since slice bread be prepared to catch bass.. Big ones little ones white ones black ones spotted ones you just never know.. It is really like fishing when I was a kid yes they had fishing back then. The lake is normal pool the lake is muddy to real stained and the water temp is in the low 70s. They are running water like crazy and I understand it is going to be like that for some time. Truman lake is way high and they are lowering it thur Lake of the Ozarks. Good time for sure to be had here now except for the holiday weekends... Then you have to fish at first light until probably 9:30. Pleasure boaters have a right to use the lake I just wish they wouldn't... Good luck to all of you be safe out there... I propose to ban all boats on Lake of the Ozark that does not have a butt seat and a trolling motor. Can I Get a AMEN redshad and slothman 2
