I'm going to Sardis tomorrow. I was there last Thursday and the water was low with a 58 degree temp. It's raining pretty good today so I don't know what to think about the conditions.
Any thoughts on how to fish Sardis after a wall of thunderstorms like this? They're calling for 3/4's to an inch of rain tonight.
Takes a day for runoff to start showing up. When it does go west of it. Stay away from mud line.
Is this something that is true in general, or specific to Sardis?Quote:

Wow…that cooled off a bunch in a week. I was down there last Thursday and it was 58. I guess the cold snap and the rain knocked it back a bit. I'm guessing the fish will move a little deeper?
I plan on getting down there around 11 and fishing til dark. I ought to be able to find a few in that time…then again…I've fished longer and struck out.
little rain won't hurt fish. they already wet. usually those temps are surface temps and the sun being out makes a big difference. I doubt the overall lake temp changed much.
Thanks 27458.
Gotta Slow down. This front will put em on a tough bite for a few days.
Bill,
Last week I caught some on timbered flats in 6 FOW. Think they'll still be in that type of position? Will they be tight to cover? Moved deeper?
Just trying to find the best type of place to start looking. Would like to break my current record of 4 crappie caught on a single trip. rotfl
Tough bite is all i've had for weeks, either wind or work...
I don't think they're going anywhere. Wind will be a bigger challenge than the temp and water color. I acually like the water a little off color fishign with jigs. JMO.
We caught six or seven…all were over 13 inches with one going over 14. We also caught a 15 inch striper. We fished in 7 FOW.
Most people I spoke with had about the same luck…but…on the way out I talked to a guy who limited out every day for a week. They've been catching them in 4 FOW. It's amazing what a difference 3 feet of water makes.
How many did he have today ?Quote:

Fished Sardis today, muddy water is making a path and Highway 7 bridge is full at the banks. Lake will rise some, but not sure how soon it will clear, not much green grass to help with the muddy water. The water at Rocky Ford bridge which is several miles up stream on Tallahatchie is not up much, so most of the rain that came in is there, just take a day or so for it to move on down.
I caught them in the same place I got them two weeks ago. They were a little shallower. Caught these in 5 to 10 fow. Attachment 156731
I've been trying to figure out why no green grass???Quote:
