A lot of timber will be under water if you are unsure slow down until you know it is safe to push the throttle down. Most boat lanes are marked and GPS maps are usually correct on T-Bend not like Sam Rayburn. Main lake and secondary points if the spawn is in its late stages as should be the case in late March. You can start out and work or start in and work out until you find fish.
