It was such a pleasure today to fish with one of Lake of the Ozarks most successful tournament bass fisherman, Bill Davenport. It is amazing to me the wealth of bass fishing knowledge that Bill possesses. Bill shared with me many of his keys to success catching keeper bass on Lake of the Ozarks in the winter time. Bill is an awesome jerkbait fisherman, he likes to fish well off the bank, indicating that fish can be caught shallow, but you will catch more big ones fishing out a bit deeper or away from the banks. He suggests using 8 pound test line for the jerk bait as it will be smoother to cast and get the bait deeper. While today the bite was really not on, I can understand why Bill is such a successful bass fisherman, he pays attention to every little detail, from his equipment, bait, bottom structure, types of rocks, wind speed, etc. It was a pleasure to fish with Bill. He gave me an RC Stick to try and I caught a 4.5 pounder using it and then after I dropped Bill off at PB2, I caught a 3.2 pounder. |
