I fish Sardis a lot and was actually up there this past Sunday. We probably caught 40 or so fish and had a total of 5 keepers.

While we were out there, we spoke with a state biologist that was conducting surveys and he stated the same thing mentioned above. The water levels in the spring of this year allowed much more fishing pressure than years past, which allowed a LOT more of the keeper fish to be caught. He stated that with the growth rate on the lake, the 11.5" - 11.75" fish will grow to keeper size within the next few months.
