Sardis Tourney: 3-25-23

On Saturday, March 25, members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club competed in a bass tournament on Sardis Lake. Anglers were faced with cool temperatures and dense fog as day broke over the lake with visibility down to about 30-40 yards.  The start of the tournament was delayed thirty minutes due to the fog. The lake level was about two and a half feet above normal with the water temperatures in the mid to upper fifties.  The fog finally lifted about 9:30 and the temperatures warmed quickly. Only six anglers were able to catch a five fish limit and seven anglers were unable to boat a single keeper.

Randy Janoe won first place with a five fish limit that weighed 12.28 pounds.  Randy also caught a 7.29 pound bass to win big bass of the tournament.  Judd Thomas came in second with a stringer weighing 10.04 pounds.  Brady Janoe finished in third place with a stringer weight of 10.03 pounds.  Anglers weighed 59 bass for a total weight of 87.15 pounds.

The club’s next event will be a bass tournament on Hugo Lake.  It will be held on Saturday, April 8.  Launch site for the tournament will be Frazier Point boat landing.  Fishing times will be from 7:00 am until 4:00 pm.

The club’s next monthly meeting will be held on Thursday, April 13, 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 52nd Annual Big Bass Rodeo.  This year’s Big Bass Rodeo is scheduled to be held on April 22-23 on Pine Creek Lake but may have to be postponed to a later date due to the extremely high lake level.  A decision will be made at the club’s April meeting.
