Area 51 in Our Own Backyard?

There is an alien invasion going on all around us! Now these aren’t the aliens that you see in the movies, but they are certainly just as scary if you enjoy spending time on the water. Asian Carp pose a great threat to our waterways here in in the United States, and are knocking on our backdoor here at the Lake of the Ozarks. What Are Asian Carp? Big Head, Silver, Black, and Grass Carp are all collectively known as Asian Carp, with the most prolific being Big Head and Silver Carp. They were introduced to the U.S. in the 1970’s to control plankton and other nuisance populations in southern ponds. Flooding allowed these fish to escape their confined ponds and make their way into the Mississippi River. These non-native invaders have since been able to bulldoze their way up the Mississippi river. According to a 2013 study by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, they can now be found in over 23 state’s waterways. Why Are They a Problem? Asian Carp are a non-native species, with Blue

-

Point Review Resort recently created a new fishing haven on Lake of the Ozarks by installing innovative artificial fish habitat structures for fish to congregate. Designed and developed by Fishiding.com of Wonder Lake, Illinois, the environmentally friendly complex, one of the largest of its kind, is comprised of dozens of structures intended to provide cover and protection for many species of fish. Colossal Fish Habitat Fishiding.com has been developing and building fish habitats for over a decade and this will be the first placement of their newest patent pending models, which are the largest modular artificial fish habitats anyone has designed to date.

Don't Overlook Your Hooks!

-
Image
Hook selection can often be challenging for the beginning bass angler, especially when looking at the giant wall of different hooks and jig heads in your local tackle store. Anglers will often take their time to select the right plastic worm or creature bait, but then when it comes time to grab some hooks, they will grab whatever they think might work without putting much thought into it. Here are a few basic tips to help you select the right hooks for fishing at Lake of the Ozarks . Variables of Fishing in June There are many variables to consider when choosing the right hook to use. To choose the size of the hook, the most important things to keep in mind are the size and shape of the bait, the type of cover you are fishing, and the time of year, which will dictate the aggressiveness of the fish. June is normally considered a transition month for bass. The transition we're referring to is the movement of bass from their spawning flats to their deep-water summer hangouts.
