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.

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

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

Found areas that held multiple fish that had grass with some rocks mixed in. Worked a jackhammer super slow bumping the bottom and ripping it out of weeds to get reaction bite. Also skipping Outkast Cage Feider jig under docks and lifts produced some bites.

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.
