Sardis Lake Bass Tournament

March 27, 2021

On Saturday, March 27, members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club competed in a bass tournament on Sardis Lake. Anglers enjoyed nice weather except for a brisk breeze. The lake level was slightly above normal with the water temperatures in the upper fifties to low sixties.  The weather may have cooperated but the bass did not.  They seemed to have a severe case of lock jaw. Nineteen anglers were unable to catch a single keeper over the fourteen inch minimum length limit and no one was able to boat a limit of six keepers.

Chance Martin won first place with five fish that weighed 12.55 pounds.  Ellis Silvey came in second with a stringer weighing 8.93 pounds.  Billy Henlsey finished in third place with a stringer weight of 7.54 pounds.  The biggest bass of the tournament was caught by Ellis Silvey.  It weighed 5.35 pounds.

The club’s next event will be a bass tournament on Hugo Lake.  It will be held on Saturday, April 10.  Launch site for the tournament will be Frazier Point boat landing.  Fishing times will be voted on at the club’s monthly meeting in April.

The club’s next monthly meeting will be held on Thursday, April 8, at 7:30 p.m.  Meetings are held at the Wildlife Heritage Center and Museum.  One of the main items to be discussed during the next meeting will be the club’s 50th Annual Big Bass Rodeo.  This year’s Big Bass Rodeo will be held on April 24-25 on Pine Creek Lake.
