À propos de cette écoute

 Good morning from Lake of the Ozarks, I’m Artificial Lure with your June 21, 2025 fishing report, straight from the boat ramp and docks we all know and love.

We’re looking at a muggy summer morning with sunrise right at 5:45 a.m. and sunset just after 8:40 p.m. The forecast today calls for partly cloudy skies, highs in the mid-80s, and a bit of wind rolling in from the southwest. There’s been some recent rain in the region, so the water is up a bit but clearing—perfect conditions to get out and chase some fish. No tides to worry about here in central Missouri, just focus on that current—especially when those flood gates are open; the fish are feeding hard on moving water.

Let’s talk bite: Largemouth bass are hot right now. Local anglers have reported multiple keepers over the past week, with several measured at 17 inches and one hawg tipping the tape at 19.5 inches. The bass are transitioning from late spawn to post-spawn, so they’re smashing topwater baits at first light—think Whopper Ploppers, Spooks, or a classic buzzbait. As the sun gets higher, switch to flipping soft plastics like brush hogs or jigs around docks and laydowns, particularly in 3-6 feet of water. Don’t sleep on the chatterbait if there’s a chop on the water.

Crappie remain active, especially on brush piles—check the MDC map for GPS spots or just cruise the Glaize and Niangua arms. Both black and white crappie are running above the 9-inch limit. Small jigs—1/32 to 1/8 ounce in chartreuse or pink—or live minnows are putting limits in the boat.

Catfish action is solid from sundown into the night, especially with cut shad, nightcrawlers, or stink bait. Target channel edges and points with current for the biggest blues and channels.

Don’t forget the walleye—these toothy critters are being picked up by trolling bright crankbaits along steep rocky points and humps, especially early and late in the day.

Hot spots today: try the mouths of Gravois or Little Niangua for bass early, and hit the brush piles near the Grand Glaize bridge for crappie. For catfish, anchor up in the main river channel bends near the 6-Mile Marker.

That’s your boots-on-the-ground report for June 21st from Lake of the Ozarks. Thanks for tuning in—be sure to subscribe so you never miss an update. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
