Ozark Regional Fishing Report Brought to you by the Ozark Life Network Ozark Fishing Reports updated about every two weeks.
Fishing is good year 'round so check in often to catch regular reports.
As the water begins to warm in early spring, bass can be found in areas adjacent to spawning banks. Work drop-offs in 21 to 25 feet of water beside 2 to 6 foot shallows. Generally, crankbaits work well throughout the year. When fish move into creek arms, try Buzzbaits, Zara Spooks and Devils Horses for topwater action. Spinner baits, shallow crankbaits, worms, grubs and sluggos can be effective when bass move into shallow waters to spawn.
