Sardis Lake: 8-29-20

Members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held a bass tournament on Saturday, August 29. The tournament was held on Sardis Lake. Twenty-three members participated in the tournament. Anglers endured temps that reached close to one hundred degrees with a heat index of one hundred ten degrees. Not only was it a hot, humid day, but the fish were not willing to cooperate either. Only two anglers were able to catch a limit of six bass. One angler had three bass with everyone else having two or less. Half of the anglers were not able to boat a single keeper.. Terry Thurman caught a limit of bass that weighed 12.37 pounds to win the tournament. Ellis Silvey, also with a limit, had a stringer weight of 10.56 pounds to place second. Judd Thomas finished in third place with a stringer weight of 5.95 pounds. Judd also had the biggest bass of the tournament with a bass weighing 4.32 pounds. The club’s next bass tournament, which is also the last regular season tournament, will be held on September 12, on Hugo Lake. Fishing times will be voted on at the club’s monthly meeting on Thursday, September 10. Launch site for the tournament will be the Frazier Creek boat ramp, providing the lake level is high enough for boats to launch from the ramp. It the lake level is to low, other arrangements will be made. This tournament will be followed one week later, on September 19, with the Annual Top Ten Bass Tournament. In this tournament, the club’s top ten anglers, along with up to five wild card positions, will compete against each other to conclude the 2020 bass tournament schedule. TOP TEN STANDINGS: 8-29-20
