With gas prices being as high as they are, it would make it a tough choice to go to Sardis from Memphis for fewer fish if someone was trying to load their freezer. I agree that we need to catch what we need and leave the rest. Lots of folks try to catch all they can and often bring a partner in their boat so they can keep 40. I know guys who bring along somebody who almost never fishes and puts them in the back of their boat so that they can catch more than 20 out of the front.
that the funniest thing i have heard everybody and their mother will be at sardis to get their limit, Dont know how often you fish butla but it on of the toughest lakes to fish here today gone tomorrow. You are going to have to get to the boat ramp at 3 am just to get launched by day light
