Hugo Lake Tourney: 7-13-24

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.
