Table Rock bound from LOZ

[FishermanTodd]

Hello,

I will be coming down for a week in early July. I am going to be trailering my boat down from Camdenton on lake of the Ozarks. I crappie fish year round here on lake of the Ozarks. I will be staying near Big M Marina. I understand that there is not a great population of crappie where I will be at. What should I be fishing for to keep me entertained for the week? Does anyone troll flicker shads or bandits? Or should I just forget the panfish and bass fish for the week??

Get some nightcrawlers

I have only caught 1 drop shot fish all year, as they just are not positioned for a drop shot either crawler or soft plastic.  At Big M and Eagle Rock that trolling technique will work.  There will be a top water bite early up there and then he can throw small swimbaits or troll.

You can also use some deeper divers on the gravel up there and catch a walleye or two.

Crawler drop shot bite may start soon but for me and all my buddies the fish are just to scattered and remember there is no thermocline to position the deep fish.  They are in every part of the water column and in the bushes to 50' deep with none grouped up except that early top water deal

Good Luck
