Last Year

I fished West Okoboji about this time last year and the fishing was fair. For largemouth and northerns, work Zora Spooks in the shallower weedy flats. Action was fast and I caught a 4lb+ largemouth which I\'m guessing is pretty good for that far north.

For smallies, you\'ll need a good depth finder. I fished the rocky points and submerged rocky islands with a carolina-rigged zoom lizard. Only caught two smallies the whole trip...guys that were having success where using live crawdads.

Don\'t be afraid to fish where other boats are...there are a lot of fellas that take fishing serious up there so I\'d start where the boats are, figure out the general pattern and then experiment with similar looking spots.

Let us know how you do!
