Crock-o-Gator Head Knocker Buzz Bait – Awesome Bite Today

Docks around spawning pockets and backs of coves at the 21-22mm of the Osage. The buzz bait was worked slow behind docks and along side of docks and banks leading into and out of spawning areas, the beaver was worked behind docks slowly hopping off the bottom in the shadows of walk ways.

Today I was practicing for a tournament on Sunday. The last couple of tournaments I fished may partners and me fished from the toll bridge to the dam. So, this tournament I thought I would check out the bite from about the 24mm to the mouth of the Glaize. I am still continuing to target spawning pockets and the backs of coves. While it seems that many of the bigger fish have spawned, Wayne Fitzpatrick a Bassing Bob Expert, suggested that many of the already spawned fish will continue to hang around their spawning areas, in particular around the docks in the spawning areas until Ameren starts pulling some water through the dam, at that time the fish will move back to the secondary points and main lake points. I have been throwing the Crock-o-Gator Buzz Bait for about 30 minutes to an hour the past couple of weeks with not many hook ups. But knowing that the buzz bait bite always comes on about this time of year, I continued to give it a try every day. Today it came on good. I had some good fish including a 4 pounder, many shorts and some explosions from big fish but without a hook up. The COG Head Knocker is by far the best buzz bait for Lake of the Ozarks, especially with this clear water, the bass just cannot resist chasing the noise and shadow that they can clearly see from long distances. I watched fish come from out of a dock or from behind a dock from 10+ yards to check out and hit the bait. Fitz Fishing is stocked well on these buzz baits, but get there quick or call Wayne to put some aside for you as last year at this time they got sold out fast.
