Hello all,
I am planning on making my first trip to y'all's great state to fish at Sardis this weekend. I plan on dragging some cranks around and seeing what happens. Does anybody have a recommendation on what ramp to use with all the water? I am coming from the north and west (Arkansas) if that makes any difference.
Thanks in advance!
David
The ramps on either end of the dam are open as I understand and would be closest to 55. Teckville is open but would be a little farther drive. Wyatt’s and Hwy 7 would be a lot farther drive and if you’’re wanting to pull the first ramps mentioned would get you to your grounds quicker. Some may be coming back open on the south side but you’’’d have to go to Oxford and back for those. Good luck be safe. Maybe we’’’ll see you there.

Thanks! Which ramps are you saying get me closer to the fishing? I'd rather not run my little boat across that ocean if I dont have to!!
Engineers Point and Beach Point put you by the dam on the main lake. Just depends on where you want to fish but if I were pulling I’d be up that way, personally. I haven’t pulled this year so not sure where I’d go but it would be in that area first probably. More creeks coming in up that way.

The corps has a good map online you just have to know most of the ramps have been closed. I’m 99% certain the once I’ve mentioned are all still open. May be others but I’m just not sure.

15' duck boat. I'm comfortable in it and have taken it in plenty of big water but a Ranger it is not!
Wind won't be too bad this weekend either. Just a suggestion but if I were you I'd put in at Lezpedeza and fish the coves on either side of it. Its a ramp off the beaten path but there is some gooding fishing there close, bright colors and do not be afraid to speed up!
Good luck, safe travels
Should provide a wind break there too if the forecast holds. I wasn’t sure if it was open.Quote:

You’ll be fine if you’re careful. Like Rees said it’s supposed to be 5-10 but sometimes that can seem like 10-15 on Sardis. Nnw wind I think they are calling for so that side rees suggested will be substantially out of any wind.Quote:

I greatly appreciate the info guys. Just for my own education, do the fish generally migrate from east to west toward the dam this time of year? Or is it really just out of the creek towards the middle of the lake? forgive me if im asking too much, just want to learn!
Not my rhythm or reason to then this time of the year, been catching fish at bot the east end and the west end all spring. Seems the bigger fish are west but the numbers arent as good.

Thanks! I will let y'all know what happens this weekend
Good luck tomorrow! I’ll be getting out there in the morning from the Hwy 7 ramp and heading to the main lake.
Also saw last night that’s it’s a free fishing weekend, no license required to purchase.
