I fished in the PB2 area and up toward the Dam all day. Early morning bite was ok with a-rig, jerk bait and jig type baits, but as the temps warmed up and the sun, clear blue sky and NO wind, came out the bite became very difficult. Water was clear down to about 3ft. Coves had moss junk floating in several places.

The lake was fishing tough due to blue bird skies and. I wind. Water clarity was about 3-4ft visibility. The morning bite was much better than the afternoon. Slow rolling the a-rig around big rock was the key. Largemouth and spotted bass were the two targeted species.

We all know the A Rig and Jerkbait are hot right now at LOZ. with temps from 39 to 42 and falling, it leaves us with little options. The jig is player. I love the old reliable Jewel Eakins jig in Missouri Craw, and of course Dirks Jig, but! dont forget that the lake is wide open right now. Without much rain we have clear water up the rivers. A flatside crankbait and a Norman Deep little N can be deadly. The strike King Chick Magnet is MONEY! Dont forget the Rapala shad rap too. The A rig is still king, but its not the only thing working. Fish are really starting to get shy of the rig. If the jig is not working. The Chomper is a player as well. dont forget a crock a gator swamp but as well. Channel Swings are working but I like the rocky secondary points from now till april. Good luck and go out there!
