From NE AR, Need Sardis Accommodation Info Please

C.Cers,

I am very excited about this coming Fri. and Sat. I will be fishing with my father and grandfather at Sardis Lake. 3 generations in the boat! I have only been to Sardis one time and that was on good friday when my dad paid a guide to take us out. We had a blast and are itching to get back down there and try to do it ourselves this time.

We will be camping in my grandfathers RV and are looking for a Corp campground preferably near the dam because that is the area we would like to fish. I was told the Oak Grove Campground would be my best bet. I am just hoping some of you can confirm that or make another recommendation. Is there a Corp campground close to the dam or that end of the lake that has a boat launch in the upper lake?

Thanks for any info you guys can provide.

If you see 3 rednecks in a Fisher Mod V on Fri. and Sat. that look lost; that will be us!

You will be in the shadows of the dam. There are boat ramps at either end. Beech Point to the north and Engineers Point on the south end. I personally prefer Engineers Point ramp much better than Beech point.

Launch from Engineers Point and go East. Way East until you find all the other boats.

REALLY???? That stinks, but is par for the course for us. I am not sure we can do it the following weekend, but I am going to try to reschedule.

Or two

Sardis has only come up .33 in the past 24 hours. Im sure it will rise a little more but you will be fine for the weekend. U sure cant catch em at home and if Sardis has only risen .33 in the last 24 I dont see it doing to much more and the fishing should be fine.

hope to find out myself saturday

I am on my way as I post this! We couldn't rearrange to try a different weekend so we are going to make the best of it this weekend as planned. If you see some old man and a young redneck launching a boat w a 35 ft RV at engineers point tomorrow, that's us. We'll get out of y'all's way as fast as we can!

Good luck, hope you enjoy the trip with your dad anyway if the fish don't bite.

Good luck, hope you find them

Thanks guys for the info you gave. We camped at Oakgrove which was a very nice park. Launched at engineer point no prob. Fishing was good fri on dam end of lake. I kept 17. Threw back about 30 just under 11. That was tough for a NE Ar boy!

Sat we struggled to find fish. It amazed me how active some spots were on fri and we caught nothing the next day there. I wish we had taken some advice and fished the east end on Sat. We got a good report from 2 different guys on Sat who had gotten a limit in clear creek.

We did catch some. 13 inch fish in shallow water on Fri, but it seemed to me fish are pulling out.

We will def be going back. I don't know why we never fished sardis the past 20 years? It's less than 2 hrs from us an offers much better fish.
