Ok thanks
Ok thanks
I remember fishing Sardis Lower Lake about 20 years ago and there was a ton of boats in the cove across from the boat ramp. You could walk across the boats as everyone was casting double jigs. Spider rigging wasn't even a thing back then. I've even seen people single pole jig fish the white buoy markers on the sand beaches. The lower lake can be a secret fishing hole but when word gets out that someone caught a cooler full then everyone will be there. Been like that for years and years.

Is there a place around that lake you can slide a Jon boat in there. Without using the ramp.
Very well said!

If you leave the outlet and take the lower road along the bottom of the dam north. After you pass the camp grounds there is a gravel road on the left that leads you around the back side of the lake. There should be places around there for a jon boat. If you go to the dead end there is a ramp that puts you straight into the river below the lower lake rock weir you will see the bouys strung across the river where the weir is. With high water you want be able too actually see the rocks crossing the river. The current in the river section can get prey strong during high water releases.
Biggest crappie to date is 3 lb 9 oz at grenada in 1988. Still hangs on my wall.
Ok thanks will give it a look.
Went Wednesday, maybe 4 boats, overcast and almost too windy for the sand bar. I'm a bank fisherman now since the heart surgery. Slip floating single jigs with a minnow occasionally. Spillway was barely spitting after the Big rain day and night before, so the lower lake was way down. Caught a few dinks off the sand bar and then moved up to the rocks, on the south side. Caught zero there, but I watched an occasional slab coming up for the guys on the other side fishing the back eddy. So, back up the stairs I went and zipped over to the north side where I caught a few slabbish fish about 7 to 10 feet deep, casting right out to the middle and twitching back into the eddy. Didn't seem to matter what color jig and I didn't even bother tipping with a minnow. They started to get pretty hot but I had to leave about 3.
My dang slip knot kept shredding my standing line, and was a hassle, thinking if going to the rubber ovals but I've never tried them.....
It's only gonna get better right into next month and the wading season upper Sardis should be a doozy this year if I can stay away from Enid....lol.
