A very strong, southerly wind greeted members of the
Pushmataha County Sportsman Club as daylight broke over Sardis Lake on
Saturday, June 27. Members were competing in a bass tournament. The bite was slow. Fifteen of the twenty-six anglers competing were
unable to catch a single keeper bass. Seven
anglers were able to catch only one keeper and only one angler was able to
catch a limit of six bass.
Terry Thurman won the tournament with a six fish limit
that weighed 13.36 pounds. Terry also
caught the biggest bass of the tournament.
It weighed 4.55 pounds. Judd Thomas came in second with a stringer
weight of 6.89 pounds. Andy Cripe
finished in third place with a stringer weight of 4.00 pounds.
The club’s next event will be the annual free youth
fishing tournament. It will be held on July
11, at McGee Creek Lake. Any youth age
16 or under may participate. Launch site
for the tournament will be the Buster Hight boat ramp. The young anglers can fish from the bank,
fishing pier or a boat. Rod and reels or
cane poles, along with live bait or artificial lures may be used. Any legal fish may be caught and weighed for
the tournament. After the tournament,
anglers and their parents will be treated to a hotdog lunch with soft drinks
and all the trimmings. Fishing times
will be from 8:00 to 12:00 with lunch following at the pavilion in the Buster
Hight recreation area.
