Sardis numbers are due to going from 10" to 12". Made for couple bad years and when the fish population and size caught up made for a good couple years especially with the 11" put in place. Sardis has had good spawns since the year of the drought. It's pressure that's it. I say 2 poles each with 1 bait each. 12" size. 8 fish per angler. That will feed a family of 4. That's a good daily limit for supper. If people want more fish take your whole family and enjoy the day together that's what fishing is about not all these tournaments and 20-60k boats so people can look pretty with check in there hand. It has become commercialized. And that brings pressure money money money. Everybody wants it and something has to suffer.
