# Lake of the Ozarks Fishing Report – November 30, 2025
Hey there, this is Artificial Lure with your Sunday morning fishing report for Lake of the Ozarks.
We're looking at a First Quarter Moon today, which means you've got major bite windows firing from 6:20 to 8:20 in the morning, 1:35 to 3:35 in the afternoon, and again from 6:36 to 8:36 tonight. Sunrise is around 6:40, and we'll see sunset just after 5 PM, so get out there early if you can.
**The Bite**
Word from the water recently has been solid. Consistency is key right now—anglers are putting together decent limits fishing the docks. The lake's 70,000-plus docks are absolutely prime this time of year. Recent tournament results show pros pulling keeper-sized bass throughout the week, with fish holding in 12 to 55 feet depending on structure. You're not looking for monsters right now, but steady action on quality fish.
**Best Baits and Lures**
Here's what's working: jerkbaits in suspending patterns are deadly—specifically the Berkley Stunna 112 series in worn Table Rock colors. Fish them on 6-foot 10-inch medium-light rods with 10-pound fluoro. If you want to mix it up, bring a float-and-fly setup with a homemade jig on a slip bobber—this produced key bass recently.
Dock fishing? You'll want swim jigs in blue magic with white craw trailers, flipping jigs in brown, and ChatterBaits with white-gold blades. Don't overlook a simple Zoom Magnum Trick Worm on a shaky head either—it's a producer.
**Hot Spots**
Target the main lake docks on points first—bigger docks are typically better. Work isolated docks you find on your electronics rather than hitting every structure. Creek mouths are also holding fish in 4 to 14 feet right now.
