Largemouth Bass
Lake of the Ozarks near McCord Bend is a premier destination for largemouth bass fishing in Missouri. The lake's diverse structure, including submerged timber, rocky bluffs, and numerous coves, provides excellent habitat for bass of all sizes. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target largemouth, as they move into shallower waters to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. During the summer months, focus on deeper structure and early morning or late evening fishing. A local tip is to pay attention to the thermocline and fish just above it. The Gravois Arm and the Osage River arm near McCord Bend are particularly productive. Be aware that the lake can get crowded, especially on weekends, so arriving early or fishing during the week can improve your experience. Largemouth in Lake of the Ozarks are known for their size and fight, making it a rewarding experience for anglers of all skill levels. Consider using crankbaits and jigs around structure.
