Hate to say this but the Gravois will not be much better. To many houses and bars on that arm of the lake to keep it calm. If you for sure want to go in the gravois head over to the upper end. There is a ramp right there off of HWY 5 in gravois mills. I would try to be there at dawn or earlier and be off by 11 or 12. When you put in head down the south bank there are several brush piles along the bluff. Then after you head down there is a large cove on the left head in there and fish the right side of it along the bluff also. This is all within 1/4 to 1/2 mile of the ramp.
