Fish You'll Find in Lake of the Ozarks

The Lake of the Ozarks isn't just a Missouri favorite—it is consistently ranked as one of the premier fishing destinations in the United States. Known for its world-class bass, crappie, and catfish populations, the Lake hosts massive events like the Big Bass Bash and hundreds of professional and amateur tournaments every year.

At Point Randall Resort, we don't just provide a place to stay; we provide a high-performance "base camp" designed specifically for the needs of anglers and tournament organizers.

Fishing & Rentals

With more than 1,300 feet of shoreline, there are plenty of places to cast a line at Point Randall. We have a covered fishing dock for all those crappie lovers, along with several other boat docks that have brush piles and structures sunk below to help lure in the big ones. We also have two fish cleaning stations with electricity, lights and water pumps.

Lake Area Boat Rentals is located on-site and offeres tritoon and fishing boats for rent. Lodging guests receive a discount.

If you are interested in having a local professional take you out, there are several local guides that will make your day on the water a memorable one.

Fishing Tournaments

Point Randall Resort welcomes fishing tournaments. From 4 boat "buddy" tournaments to 20+ boat bass clubs, we handle over a dozen groups every year. The resort has a concrete boat launch, trailer parking, and plenty of covered boat slips. With the gentle slope of our property, it is easy to access the boat docks and almost all customers can see their boat from their room.

Point Randall is also one of the five official weigh-in locations for the Lake of the Ozarks Spring & Fall Big Bass Bash Tournaments. The Big Bass Bash is an amateurs only tournament, so no professionals or fishing guides, and offers approximately $250,000 in prizes for each tournament.
