Artificial Lure here with your November 2nd fishing report for Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri. A crisp start to November has really put the bite on, and local anglers are seeing some classic late-fall action.
Sunrise this morning came at 7:37 AM, with sunset due at 6:06 PM. No tides to report naturally, but weather is the big story. A freeze warning was in effect overnight per KRMS Radio, with lows around 28°F, so bundle up if you’re heading out early. Daytime highs should reach the lower 40s; the skies are mostly clear and a light wind is stirring around the coves. The chilly snap is pushing fish into traditional fall patterns, especially on main lake points and dock pilings.
Fishing activity’s picking up as water temps drop into the low to mid 50s. Bass have been biting well around brush piles and dock corners, often holding tight to cover as they fatten up for winter. Lately, anglers have been boating solid limits of largemouths, with many in the 2 to 4-pound range. Last week’s Toyota Series event crowned some serious champions here, and recent reports suggest plenty of healthy fish swimming in these waters.
Crappie anglers are finding hungry fish suspended 10-15 feet down over deeper brush, with several stringers coming in over a dozen keepers each, best fish measuring 12-13 inches. White bass are hitting around creek channel bends; they chase shad as the sun warms the shallows midday.
Top baits right now? For bass, locals favor a ½ or ¾ ounce pitching jig like the E-Factor, tipped with a McCarty Baits Raptor, or a Swimbait Garage Hyper Shad for covering open water. Crankbaits are also dynamite—try a Berkley Choppo or similar in shad and natural colors, burning them along dock edges or slow-rolling in deeper water. Fall’s also prime time for buzzbaits, frogs, and toads, especially early or late, as Major League Fishing’s bass pros proved this season.
For crappie, hit brush piles and docks with a small chartreuse-and-white tube jig on a light jighead, or tip it with a minnow for extra appeal. Don’t ignore live bait; a small shiner will often out-fish artificials as temps drop.
If you’re after numbers, Osage Beach is a solid bet—Fish Hatchery Cove and Watson Hollow Cove have been turning out steady fish. For bigger bass, head out to the Grandglaize Arm or Miller Hollow Cove, where tournament anglers hammered them last week. Crappie fans should zero in on deeper brush at Pogue Hollow Cove and Woods Hollow Cove near Camdenton.
The best windows for bites today will be mid-morning and mid-afternoon, right after the water starts warming a touch. According to FishingReminder, overall activity dips a bit with the cold snap, but the solunar table shows a bump around midday—watch for that!
No major sunfish or catfish catches reported lately, but that’s typical for the post-turnover lull. If you’re itching to bank some bonus fish, throw a chunk of nightcrawler or cut shad off gravel banks at dusk.
With fall colors peaking and the air brisk, it’s a perfect time to cast from the dock or take the boat out even if the bite slows. As always, check local regs and bundle up against that November chill.
