I didn't want to hijack someone else's post, but since I've never fished Okoboji before I had a few questions for those that have...
1. In early Spring (April, early May) just how busy is it? How about in the Fall? I hate fishing places where you are either constantly fishing behind someone or you are constantly getting bombarded with waves from pleasure boat traffic.
2. Is East or West the better bass lake, and why?
3. I see that both lakes have a ton of docks. Is this the primary way to fish shallow, and if so are the dock owners good about not throwing fits (I don't have any lakes around me with docks, so all I hear are stories about guys getting yelled at on other lakes while trying to fish docks).
Thanks for any and all information. Trying to find a decent sized lake to try and fish once or twice a year and for some dumb reason I always forget about Okoboji.
