Thread: Does anybody single pole anymore at Sardis?!?!

Find the shad with your fish finder....more than likely you will see crappie under them. Open water flats are good.....or the edge of a channel spider rigging

Not many pole fisherman hang around here for whatever reasons. There are a few though. single poling the corp lakes are pretty tough certain times of the year. Like right now, the lakes are all low with very limited structure in the right depths. anhwhere near the dam in deeper water if u could find some structure(or put some out) u could catch some good fish in January and February single poling a jig. Over the years I have found places to fish the other 9 months that the fish are not spawning. I like fishing the rivers below the dams, cut offs from the lakes like wildcat, the mud hole, etc. or in some cases the river above the lake is pretty good in places. It has taken many years to find these places and I think that's been just as much fun as the catching. If your looking for a sure fire way to put fish in the box u might just learn to use your spider gear. It's a year round technique that produces. Feel free to send me a p.m. and I will get u goin in the right direction

I have a few customers who single pole fish Sardis in the spring with a certain color jig I do for them and they wack em pretty good but Im not to sure where they fish at I can find out and PM you though if you want

Thanks for the tips guys. I've been at sardis my whole life hunting and fishing very little. I have a camp close to hurricane landing and just started crappie fishing last year. I spend my whole winter in the lake bed hunting deer and ducks

Their seem to be less and less single pole guys on the big lakes. Most of the ones left are kinda like the fly fishermen purists who think it's a sin to catch a fish in any other fashion than an artificial on a string. If you were to travel east to the Ten-Tom waterway you would see a lot more of this style of fishing.

Single pole deep structure and deep river ledges. I'd rather single pole shallow for 3 months then troll for 6 months.

what three months do you single pole shallow? feb mar april? or maybe march, april, may?
