North East banks warm first. The lake is dock heaven which warm quickly, Largemouths are the predominate bass species. The area around PB2 is where the majority of the tourneys go out of. I usually fish around 3 mile marker in the cove to the North, it is a huge cove with every type of structure you need. Jerk baits in March, alot of guys run up the river I never have - although I have spent considerable amount of time in the Gravois Mill arm. It's a great lake and bank beater friendly for sure!
