Nice one, Phil! Phil was one of the high finishers in our benefit tournament last weekend, and has the fish patterned! As long as the water isnt “hard”, Lake of the Ozarks produces great fishing year-round. Getting access to launch is usually the biggest challenge, not the cold temps (air or water). Slow down and stay at it… For leadmacdog, several patterns have been producing: spinnerbaits, jerkbaits and small jigs, If windy, throw the blade (white/chrome blades) or jerkbait (Rogue, Megabass or Pointer). Small jigs like Eakins in Brown or Green with matching trailer. Shakey head worm also. Check-in when you get down here; weather should be nice by Tues-Wed of next week… Gary Hollander
