The ice is about off. As soon as the ice gets off and you get a little sun, the small mouth will move up. Look for rock and sand transitions. When you find 1 there will be tons of them. Jerk baits will be key to find.

Docks
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.

Actually caught a few off of the bridge, good place to throw a blade. Even when it's pretty cold.

Had a very mediocre day dragging a *HAND-TIED* football jig around. If we had every fish that bit it would've been fun...

Wood docks and rocky banks with moderate wind on main bay / lake areas. Covering water with jig and chatterbait but moving the baits super slow. Slightly stained water was better than super clean water.

Tried everything. Spinner Baits were the answer. Very slow roll. 5-10’. All pre-spawn.
