"Little" Dayton has a high school bass tournament on Gaston on Saturday march 2. I'll be a non-fishing captain for the two boys. It's going to be cold water and probably muddy/stained water. My boat motor is acting up so we will probably stay in Holly Grove for the day. I know nothing about the area. Looking at charts there is a lot of deep water and ariel map shows lots of boat docks.

I know that you guys mostly crappie fish around Gaston, but any ideas where to start finding bass there and under such early year cold water?

Thanks,

Dayton

Here are the results from last year, when they fished on Buggs, deep in NC. We only boated 3 small fish, and we found them running the bank late in the day. It was April. Scroll down to VA and click on results on the right.
