Anyone fishing in the 2017 spring "Big Bass Bash" at Lake of the Ozarks in a few weeks? This is the first time me and a buddy will be making the 3hr drive to fish in the event. Getting pumped up for a weekend of fishing!

Should be fun. We've done it a few times. I'm going down for a tourney this weekend. The BASS Regional Championship is being held there this weekend too, so some serious pressure on the lake. Hopefully we can nab a few

I might fish it. LOZ has been on fire, but the fishing pressure, even by LOZ standards, has been unbelievable lately.

 

Best thing that can happen is the weather being just cruddy enough the weekend of the BBB to keep the pleasure boat traffic down. Maybe a poor guy like me can handle it out there in my 18 foot aluminum boat, and be able to make those runs back to the weigh stations without risking my life.

 

I might fish way up the river and make the long run to weigh in at 'Red Oak' if I have anything worth the trip. I know traditionally, more big bass have been weighed in at Alhonna, but I think my best chance would be to do something different than what the masses are doing.
