Pine Creek: 8-10-24

 

On Saturday, August 10, members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held a bass tournament on Pine Creek Lake.  The lake level was about two feet above normal with water temperatures reaching the low nineties.  Anglers started the day with mild temperatures and calm winds but warmed up to the upper eighties, which was very nice for this time of the year. 

Seventeen anglers entered in the contest.  Twelve anglers were able to catch their five fish limit.  Chuck Beck won the tournament with a stringer weight of 13.46 pounds.  Ellis Silvey finished in second place with a stringer weight of 13.12 pounds.  Terry Thurman came in third. His stringer weighed 12.02 pounds.  Chuck Beck caught a bass that weighed 3.61 pounds to win the big bass of the tournament.

The club’s next bass tournament will be held on McGee Creek Lake at Buster Hights Landing.  It was originally scheduled for Hugo Lake on Saturday, August 24.  It is being moved to McGee Creek since the water level on Hugo Lake is too low to unload a boat at Frazier Point Landing. Fishing times will be from “safe light” until 3:30 p.m.
