Thread: sardis crappie

Called the corps office today and was told the spillway has two gates open releasing 1.5 cfs each. I was told that this would be the last gate change for a while. Fished the spillway yesterday for 3 hours caught 1 over 10 inches. I was told that the marina is producing some fish. Did anyone have any luck yesterday or today??

A, the COE had been reducing the spillway flow every day last week until Saturday. The frequent changes were really hurting the bite. I fished Friday and a little while Saturday without much luck. About the only thing that produced was a jig/minnow way out in the middle about 10' deep.

The COE turned the spillway down again Monday (as you mentioned) and there should not be any more gate changes because the next change would be OFF!

After the water stabilizes for a few days, there will be fish caught in the outlet chute and just below the wing walls.
