Thread: Sardis Lake report

Back at it today. Caught one of my biggest crappie ever. 2.42 LBS. Fish were deeper than the last trip. I found them from 12 to 21 feet deep but mostly around 18. The water temp is dropping so fast it has them spread out at a lot of depths. Parts of the lake were 62 other parts were 67. Temp kept dropped thru the day. Caught probably 30 fish, had to work for them a bit. Not all the fish were biting. I found a lot of schools off ledges that wouldn't touch it. It seemed that every third or fourth school of fish I found would bite, so I moved around a lot to find willing fish. Black and Chart 3" slab slayers were the best producers by far today. The water is a little off color for Sardis due to the recent rains, about 12" Vis.

Outstanding man. Wow, 2.42 lbs! Love that golden colored one or was it just the camera making it look that color? Great report. Got me thinking abour moving down to Sardis now too!

Nice! Luv those chrome fish! 2.42 is awesome! WTG!

It was the setting sun that put that gold cast on the fish. The phone camera auto adjusted and took the gold out a second later for the second pic. I don't know why it does that but I see it a lot on this phone.

Very nice Fishers, when you buy your place down there, make sure it has a spare bedroom!! I think your going to have lots of company!! LOL

dibs!

Fished yesterday for 6 hours. Forecasters dropped the ball big time, it was much colder and windier than they forecast. Its time to ignore what they say and double up for warmth. Fishing was slow, water was 51-52, vis 16". Caught a bunch of dinks and 2 nice ones. No thumps, they would just hang on the bait.

Wow 4.42 is a hog for this time of year!
Spoke to a buddy that fished Ceder Creek Lake in E Tx, this morning. They caught 12 real nice keepers yesterday morning.
