Members
of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held a bass tournament on Saturday,
August 8, at McGee Creek Lake. The weather
for the tournament was hot, even for August, with early morning temperatures in
the mid-seventies and the afternoon high reaching over one hundred
degrees. The hot temps did not keep the
fish from biting though. Over half the
anglers in the tournament had their six fish limit. However, no one was able to catch a bass over
the 16 to 22 slot limit that is imposed on McGee Creek Lake.
Johnie
Ivey won the tournament with a six fish stringer that weighed 6.90 pounds. Ellis Silvey came in second with a six fish
limit that weighed 6.55 pounds. Billy Latham
finished in third place with a six fish limit weighing 6.18 pounds. The big bass of the tournament was caught by Ellis
Silvey. It weighed 1.78 pounds.
The
club’s next bass tournament will be held on Saturday, August 22, at Sardis
Lake. Launch site for the tournament
will be the Sardis Cove boat ramp.
Fishing times for the tournament will be voted on at the club’s monthly
meeting. The club will meet on Thursday,
August 13, at 7:30 p.m. at the Wildlife Heritage Center and Museum.
