On Saturday, August 22, members of the Pushmataha County
Sportsman Club held a bass tournament on Sardis Lake. The lake was still falling from the release
of flood water, but was only about 7 inches above the normal lake level. The weather was quite nice for August with
fairly mild temperatures and a brisk breeze.
The only bad thing about the weather was a strong thunderstorm that
rolled across the lake at about 1:00 p.m. forcing anglers to seek cover from
the high winds and heavy rainfall. Two
anglers had their boats damaged by the high waves as they picked up their boats
and crashed them down on rocks or stumps.
However, we are thankful no one was injured.
Seven anglers were able to catch their limit of six fish
over the fourteen inch minimum length limit.
Jon Tucker won the tournament with the heaviest stringer weighed
in. His six fish limit weighed 14.81
pounds. Chuck Beck finished in second
place with a stringer weight of 14.50 pounds.
Judd Thomas came in third with a stringer weight of 14.34 pounds. Chuck Beck caught a bass that weighed 4.28
pounds to win the prize for the biggest bass of the tournament.
The club’s next bass
tournament, which will also be the last regular season tournament, will be held
on September 12, at Hugo Lake. Fishing
times for the tournament will be voted on at the club’s monthly meeting on
Thursday, September 10. TOP TEN STANDINGS
