Been fishing sardis a few days the last 2 weeks. Here's a few thoughts.

1. I'm no longer going to preach about wanting high water! Just a tad too high.
2. I've averaged about 10 keepers per day fishing all day single jib pole. Most on the smaller side.
3. I've carried at least a truckload of buck bush out of my boat to the ramp.
4. I've had at least one passenger get in my boat. Water snake! Not sure how long he was riding with me.
5. I've caught more short fish than in a very long time.
6. This will be a great spawning year!
7. Water keeps rising. Fishing getting harder by the inch rise.
8. I still think the best spawn is yet to come. Full moon on the way. Getting to the fish a problem.
9. My waders are now in my boat!
10. Final thought is that Sardis is just a shell of a lake it once was. Fishing it 40 plus years. Debate all you want. Truth. I would have caught hundreds of fish years ago in places I've been fishing.
