A client caught a 10-pound, 2-ounce bass in July. In my 20 years of guiding, the largest bass I've caught was 8 pounds 4 ounces. "My personal opinion is that Lake of the Ozarks is one of the best bass lakes in the country for 3-, 4-, and 5-pound fish, with a few 9- and 10-pound fish caught every year. I asked Enlow to explain Lake of the Ozarks' producing so many large bass and its providing such great bass fishing. Bass will take the worm and just thump the rod. In June, there is no mistaking the post-spawn bite. There I'll jump up to a 7- or 10-inch Berkley Power worm. "Once males get off the nests and leave off guarding fry, I look to the main-lake points - the deeper main lake points. If I want to go to something with more finesse, I'll go with Chompers. I use what they call a canary color - blue and chartreuse with a white belly - or Norman's pearl and purple, whitish with a pearl tinge. "During this period I like Norman's crankbaits. "When females finish, they head out to the main lake, stopping on the first large main-lake point, where they really go to feeding," he said. I also talked to Enlow about where he fishes for post spawn bass. I throw Chompers and lizards religiously, because I catch so many fish on them." I like the colors in root beer green, watermelon red, or just plan watermelon. "Right now," he offered, "I use nothing but a Chompers Hula grub fished on an 1/8-ounce grubhead or a 4- or 6-inch Zoom Lizard. Enlow has a certain set of lures he uses during the spawn.
