The Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held a bass tournament on Saturday, July 13, at Hugo Lake. Fifteen members braved the heat to participate in the event. The lake level was just about six inches below normal level, and this made the water very shallow at the Frazier Creek Boat ramp. The weather was hot and humid with a light breeze most of the day. The breeze did offer some relief from the heat. Catching a quality size bass was difficult for most. Small bass were easier to catch with all but two anglers catching a limit of five bass.
Ellis
Silvey managed to catch a limit of bass that weighed 12.76 pounds to win first
place in the tournament. Jim Armstrong
finished in second place with stringer weight of 12.68 pounds. Randy Janoe took
third place with a stringer weight of 10.66 pounds. Forrest Cave caught the big bass of the
tournament. It weighed 3.37 pounds.
The
club’s next event will be the annual Noon to Noon bass Tournament on July 27-28,
at McGee Creek Lake. As the name
suggest, the tournament will start at noon on Saturday and end at noon on
Sunday. A weigh-in will be held Saturday
night at 9:00 p.m. Launch site for the
tournament is the Buster Hights boat ramp. Anglers that have a limit of fish
are thru fishing until 12:00 midnight.
Anglers that do not have a limit may continue fishing after the
weigh-in. Anglers may leave the lake
after weigh-in and return at their leisure to finish the tournament.
