Late Winter Shoreline Bass Fishing Mozingo Lake
A few days ago, I posted another general article about early spring bass shoreline fishing opportunities as the ice cover melts away. Since we were blessed with the first significant late winter warm-up over the past several days, I decided to head over to Mozingo Lake and check out the ice conditions.
As I approached the Mozingo Lake dam area on the south end of the reservoir, a smile quickly flashed across my face!
Why? …
Simple, when I caught the first glimpse of the lake’s surface, I immediately noticed two things:
- The surface of the ice was dark and very ratty!
- The ice had lost its grip on the shoreline and”fish-able” pockets of open water were evident!
Mozingo Lake Losing Its Ice!
So off I headed to the “City Ramp” on the eastern side of the lake to verify my initial findings.
I was so elated when I got to the ramp, I broke out my Flip camcorder and made a quick video about the lake facilities and shoreline bass fishing honey hole ( <== video link) along the ramp shoreline (now posted on YouTube).
It’s nice to see … ice out has almost arrived at Mozingo Lake!
Looks like something closer to a “Flipping Stick” will accompany me and the camcorder during the next trip over to the ramp … 
Just remember the little bass angling gem is waiting for you in northwest Missouri and visit Mozingo Lake the first chance you get!
