This is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Lake of the Ozarks fishing report for Tuesday, October 28, 2025. Folks, it’s a cool and crisp fall morning—around 54 degrees before sunrise, warming to the upper 60s by the afternoon, with mostly sunny skies and just a light northwest breeze. Sunrise hit at 7:29 AM, and sunset will roll in just after 6:18 PM. No tide to speak of here in the Midwest, but that cooler overnight snap’s got the fish on the move and the baitfish schooling up tight along main lake points.
Water’s clear in most parts, with pockets of stain from last week’s showers. According to local guides and reports, bass are pushing up from deeper summer haunts and relating tight to structure—think brush piles, chunk rock, and of course, classic bridge points. The fall shad run is in full swing, and matching that hatch is the key.
Best action the past couple days has been early and late—right around the major feeding windows at dawn and dusk, as reported by FishingReminder.com. Anglers are catching quality largemouth and spots, with the occasional white bass blitz if you stumble on a bait ball. A few good crappie clusters are being found suspended off docks and brush in 15-20 feet, but you’ll need to be patient; the bite’s on, but it’s not a flat-out slugfest.
Bass are hitting moving baits hard—no surprise this time of year. ChatterBaits, spinnerbaits, and shad-colored jerkbaits like the Mooch Minnow are doing real work right now, just like Major League Fishing noted earlier this month. If the sun’s up high and the fish start to sulk, you can’t beat a finesse approach—try a shaky head, Ned rig, or drop shot. Chartreuse-white and natural shad colors are best, and don’t forget to bump those spinnerbaits around any submerged brush or dock posts.
Crappie anglers are finding success using small jigs tipped with minnows or even a micro tube; the bite comes up as the sun gets low, especially around submerged timber or deeper docks.
For catfish, cut shad or stink bait fished on the bottom is the ticket in the channel swings, and they’ve been real active this past week due to cooler water temps and a recent uptick in current from Bagnell Dam releases.
For hot spots, you can’t go wrong with
- **Gravois Arm**: Good bass and white bass around main lake points and transition banks.
- **Niangua Arm**: Known for crappie right now—look for brush piles off secondary points in 15-18 feet.
- **Under the Grand Glaize Bridge**: Solid bass action around the pylons, and don’t overlook the nearby docks for an afternoon crappie bite.
Recent tournament talk says several five-bass limits topped 15 pounds, with most largemouth caught shallow early before moving deeper as the sun rose. Spinnerbaits and ChatterBaits nabbed the bigger bites, especially when slow-rolled.
If you’re out today, keep an eye on your electronics for bait balls, but don’t overthink it—sometimes the best spot is right on top of obvious structure, and confidence and patience land the best fish when the bite is tough, just like Dustin Connell recommends.
That’ll do it for today. Thanks for tuning in to your local Lake of the Ozarks fishing report with Artificial Lure. Don’t forget to subscribe, and until next time, tight lines out there!
