wind at sardis

**Gomer Snerd** · 06-05-2013, 04:24 PM

How little wind does it take for sardis to get dangerous. Back in my tourney days it was commonplace to have a bass boat sunk or swamped. Now I fish out of a 1448 mod v tin boat or an xpress 17 ft bass rig. Am I gonna be a statistic?

5-10 is good, 10-15 will be TOUGH, but you can manage........over that, its best not to go in my opinion, which is not worth much, lol. Sometimes, they say 5-10, and you wont be able to fish cause of the wind. Any wind direction with a "W" seems the worst. Good luck and be safe.

The 17' er will be safe most days, but not often comfortable. I wouldn't drag the 1448 from Jonesboro.

Not to say wind speed dosnt mater by any stretch but Sards it's direction most times that will get you. Any east wind will get that ole girl rolling in a hurry even though it's not blowing hard. Sardis reminds me of fishing coastal bays the way it will start up in the timber and just gather force as it rolls down the lake.

Well lets just say kdavid could fart at Wyatt's and there would be 3 ft rollers at the dam!

My son and I fished it with winds out of the South-Southeast at 10 mph according to the forecaster but we had more than that. I can guarantee you the rollers were 2-3 ft and I have a WE 754 LDBR and we were both puckered up pretty good. Like everyone else has said, it depends on wind direction but it doesn't take 2 minutes for it to get bad. I wouldn't venture out in a 1448 for sure.
