Spent the weekend of 4/2/21 fishing the east side of okoboji and largemouth were just starting to move up to whatever shallow cover they could find. Docks tended to hold more fish than laydowns or shallow grass. Water was low but skipping a jig up under docks or throwing a chatter bait around the outside of the docks produced a lot of big fish.
