Was at Sardis today, and like to have burn up...man. I kept a hand towel soaked in ice wrapped around my neck.
I caught my limit but it was tuff, must have caught a million beans.
There is going to be a good crop of crappie coming in about 3 years or so.
crappie cowboy
It's too hot out there for me to even think about an all day trip now that it's summertime. This time of the year my fishing is from daylight until about noon of the latest, but I do know if you can stand the heat you can still catch fish. Congrats on a good day on the water and to the limit.;)
Without pics, didn't happen!
that is right
Thanks gabowman... I paid the price for sure, I can't take the heat very well either, don't think I could do it tomorrow it someone paid me a million bucks, my legs were shaking like Elvis.Quote:

Sardis has WAY TOO MANY dinks. They need to take the 12" limit off. In 3 trips we have caught over 440 crappie and had 39 over 12".
Pretty sure you can bait a hook with with a coke top and catch fish. Those fish are hungry !
The COE all have way too many unders but they don't care bout fishing.. It's all bout flood control so they say... But why are there slots and creel limits...MDWFP has seen that fewer numbers grow larger animals when it comes to deer... Dropping the creel limit and raising slot prob won't be the answer especially for every lake.. Maybe a creel limit change with no slot change would have helped certain lakes.. Hard to spend the money on gas to keep 6 fish not to mention be stuck in a $&@& lifejacket because someone says so..
That is why I fish during the Spring!!! Bigger fish and cooler weather!! To be a buncha geezers yall sure aint too bright!!!!:D
BigBlue.... I thought you only have to wear a lifejacket all the time if you are a child, or if you are underway with the big motor...?
That many dinks (according to the rules) would be a nice problem over here this time of year. Of course, if we had an open season on water lice we might be able to catch a few. I guess I need to plan a trip over your way in the summer instead of the spring. Discount because of the heat???? Ya'll are lucky in a way to be able to fish without being swamped by ski boats. Keep posting and add some pics to help us out during the summer!
I think you have to wear it all the time in a boat under 16'.Quote:

I went to Sardis Saturday and got tired of reeling in the dinks too. It's crazy !!!
Well if all you folks along with the other 10,000 people that were there this spring hadn't been on the water limiting out every day, they're be more keepers caught. LOL All I heard this spring was how big the fish had gotten, now it's Dink City

That is correct......been in effect since May of 2009NEWS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Release # 0809-2
New life jacket policy aims to save lives at Mississippi Lakes
Sardis, Miss… - Four U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Vicksburg District lakes in North Mississippi will participate in a 3-year mandatory life jacket wear test program beginning May 22, 2009. The areas selected for this study are Arkabutla Lake, Sardis Lake, Enid Lake, and Grenada Lake.
The policy will require the use of life jackets to a greater degree than existing regulations in an effort to save lives.
The Corps’ mandatory life jacket test program was designed to determine whether the additional life jacket requirements will improve wear rates among water-based recreation user groups and consequently decrease water-related fatalities.
After extensive review, the national data indicated public fatalities most often occur in accidents involving small classes of vessels (under 26 feet) and swimmers in non-designated swim areas. With all of this in mind, the following life jacket wear requirements were developed:
· All persons must wear a Type I, II, or III US Coast Guard-approved life jacket at all times while swimming outside of designated swimming areas. (Waivers may be issued by Park Managers to exempt participants of special events, such as triathlons, from this requirement while participating in the event.)
· All persons must wear a Type I, II, or III US Coast Guard-approved life jacket at all times while skiing or being pulled by a vessel, regardless of vessel length.
· All persons must wear a Type I, II, or III US Coast Guard-approved life jacket on powered vessels 16 feet in length to 26 feet in length whenever under power by the main propulsion unit. (This does not include when the vessel is powered by a trolling motor or is stationary.)
· All persons must wear a Type I, II, or III US Coast Guard-approved life jacket at all times on powered vessels less than 16 feet in length or on non-powered vessels, regardless of length. (Non-powered vessels include, but are not limited to canoes, kayaks, flat bottoms/johnboats, sailboats and paddleboats.)
The new requirements will be in full effect beginning May 22, 2009 on the waters of Arkabutla Lake, Sardis Lake, Enid Lake, and Grenada Lake.

I don't think it was anything special I was doing, I was just there at the right time.
I was fishing out from Hayes Crossing, wasn't alot of boats out there. I don't like fishing on weekends, to many boat ramp comedian's.
Congrats CC. I know it was sure hot yesterday... A\C was out at the house so I feel your pain!
Thanks Mo', maybe sometime we can hook up, and fish a little bit, and talk about Cleveland.
