Fish are biting!
Attention fisherman! If you're wanting to catch some crappie for the freezer, nows a good time. Get a jump on the fair weather spring fishermen while there is less fishing pressure. A black with yellow jig seems to be the bait of choice, or live minnows are always a reliable favorite.

Where are the fish?
Where are the fish? It's a common question for anglers, and knowing the answer can mean the difference between a frustrating day and catching your limit. For the technologically impaired, a little trial-and-error may reveal whether the fish are shallow, suspended or deep, but local fishing expert Jim Dill says if you have an electronic fishfinder, just follow the shad.
Shad are a favorite meal for bass, and Dill says schools of the tiny fish should be visible on fishfinder electronics. Where the shad will be, there the bass will be.
There are typically three zones that anglers use when talking about fish location. They can either be on the bottom, on the top, or "suspended" – somewhere in between. Suspended bass are the most difficult to catch, he says, and for such scenarios, Dill recommends using a stick bait. Lucky Craft or Mega Bass stick baits are his preference.
When shad – and bass – are deep, Dill recommends using a "Green Pumpkin Candy" color swamp bug rig on a 1/4-oz Crock-O-Gator football shaker head jig. "That's been my most consistent lure," he says. He also suggests using Zapper jigs, in Ozark Craw color, with a Green Pumpkin Candy color ring craw.
Such will be the case for main lake fish. But when you begin fishing in old creek channels, the bass will typically stick to the channel swing banks – here, the old creek channel comes right up to the bank. The bank drops steeply beyond the waterline, and bass like those areas in the winter, since they can change elevation and still stay on a bank, without having to travel very far. "[For fish], it's all about expending less energy this time of year," Dill says.
The weather stations are forecasting clear, sunny skies for at least a week; expect bass to hold tighter to dark banks and dark rocks in that kind of weather. The crawfish are active there, he says, and the sun warms the water, which attracts the fish.
Keep a crappie lure on your second rod, Dill says, because they are biting quite a bit. They will typically be about eight feet deep, over 12-foot-deep brush piles. But, on bright, sunny days, they will move to the docks and congregate under the shady areas around dock foam to soak up the heat. There they can tend to be pretty shallow – sometimes only three feet deep. A 1/8-oz crappie jig head in Blue Ice color is the lure to use in those conditions.
Main lake water is clear and water temperature is between 40 and 42 degrees. Creeks are hovering at 39-41 degrees with clear or slightly stained water.

Lake of the Ozarks Welcome Sign Dedicated
LAKE OF THE OZARKS, Mo. – The man and the organization that spearheaded the project to erect a Hollywood-style “Lake of the Ozarks” sign dedicated the landmark on Tuesday morning.
Joe Roeger, representing the Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, showed praise and appreciation to all of the monetary contributors and the local businesses donating materials and labor to make the project come to fruition.
“The Chamber is taking this opportunity to formally dedicate the Lake’s newest landmark to the people of the great state of Missouri and the millions of out-of-state visitors that will view our iconic monument each and every year,” Roeger said. “Everyone involved in this project should be proud of their participation. It is our belief that the welcoming monument will be a must-see landmark and create quite an interest in Lake of the Ozarks.”
Roeger stresses that the project is not yet complete. So far, 49 donors have contributed $42,000 to get the sign erected. However, another $8,000-$10,000 is needed to finish the multi-colored LED lighting to illuminate the sign in the evening – “possibly even red, white and blue for the Fourth of July,” Roeger said.
A local Boy Scout, Garrett Lynch, has taken on the responsibility of erecting a 40-foot flag pole and flag to accompany the landmark as part of his Eagle Scout project. He will handle the fundraising for the flag pole and see the project to completion.
Garrett stepped to the podium during the dedication ceremony. “For the past seven years I have been with the Scouting organization in Lake Ozark and over the last three years have been a Boy Scout with Troop 21,” Lynch said. “I selected this flag pole as my project to assist the Lake Area Chamber of Commerce and provide an enhanced feature for the welcome sign. I believe this flag will convey our community support of our Veterans and those who are currently serving in the military, as well as symbolize our patriotic spirit.”
Lynch’s Eagle project will also include a time capsule to be opened in the year 2081 to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the opening of the Bagnell Dam.
Contributors to the flag-pole project will be allowed to designate an item to be included in the time capsule. If you would like to donate to Lynch’s project, call 573-365-5548.
If fundraising and progress allow, Roeger would like to see a lighting and flag-raising ceremony by the Labor Day Weekend.
The following contributors have already embraced the welcome-sign vision, stepping forward with cash, materials and labor:
