Fished the west side the weekend of 4/2/21 and the water temp was about 39-41 degrees. Smallies were out on deep rocks and you really had to slow down to get bit. A heavy tube and a blade bait were the most productive baits. Smallies were schooled up and if you found one, there were many more in the area. In the super cold water it was important to change the hooks on the blade baits. Largemouth really didn't play on this side of the lake. Water was low and they had not moved up into the cuts and canals.
