When will it get safe enough to fish,,,,??????

I'm thinking of heading to Sardis but the weathermans scaring me with all these wind and storm reports,,,, Think Saturday will be safe enough for my glass Ranger? shes pretty stout boat at 19.5 ft, but I really hate getting her on the trailer by myself when it starts blowing hard,,, Last time I went, she got tossed up on the concrete a few times before I got back from getting the trailer,,,Maybe next time I'll park on teh sand until it's time to load up.... I need a good fishin partner really,,,,,someone who knows when it's safe or not and where the dang fish might be,,,suggestions anyone? I need to stay safe,,, wife only has half a million on me for insurance,,, She says that won't even pay her trip to Monoco when I'm dead...lol...������

No fish anyway lol

Wind out of the South is bad for any north side ramp. Holiday is really bad. I've witnessed several get swamped at the ramp

Always a threat . I lived on Enid 14 years . Caught fish when the weatherman kept tons of folks at home . Then on days he said would be good we had 25 mph . winds . Folks that live 30 min, or less from the lake are blessed . Old geezers that go and camp will tell you , you just have to be there when it's good .Having a large enough boat thatwill allow you to fish all conditions is the way to go . jmo

Just have to watch the wind and pick the right boat ramp. All I have is a 14 footer... sometimes have to drive all the way around the lake just to put in.

just launch at engineer and you'll be fine

By that time you should be on top of the junk especially in your barge :)

One thing I've learned about Sardis... If you have any doubt at all, stay off the water. That, and wear a life jacket. Good luck, but that lake scares the Hell outta me.

Should be safe in June when the water is slick, the gnats are thick and you're beggin for a breeze. Any other time SW or NE winds will produce rollers before you know it.

I kinda like the wind---it's like being on the ocean

Looks like Saturday it ought to be prime with winds switching to a north wind,,,, Just hate fishing with all the crazies...lol...I recon I'll just get there earlier enough to avoid the crowds,,,

Next time I go I'm gonna take a SURF board!

Everybody wants to beat the crown and ends up there at the same time. Just wait til about 9am and get in after the crowd. Might take a hike to park, but little exercise is good for ya.

It wasn't bad this morning behind the island and marina but out from of dam and Island was an ocean

Pretty tuff on Nader this morning. Good rollers coming straight into Piney by lunch...... Still managed to put a mess in the boat.

Got whiplash from jumping waves today, But at least I caught a few slabs,,,couldn't believe how many boats were out there with 3 ft rollers,,especially across from Holiday

Haha ya we saw a guy just about air born coming in hot in front the island

I didn't think it was too bad yesterday for Sardis!!!
