Sardis Lake: 8-22-26

 Members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held a bass tournament on Saturday, August 22.  The tournament was held on Sardis Lake. Fourteen anglers participated in the event.

Anglers were prepared to fish under a heat advisory with a forecast high temperature of 104 degrees but a steady cloud cover kept the temperature down to the mid to upper eighties until the cloud cover broke at about 2:30. It was also an unusually calm day on the lake. Sardis is known for its stiff breezes. Ten anglers were able to catch their limit of five bass. Most reported catching several bass, although fairly small.

Forrest Cave won the tournament with a stringer weight of 15.62 pounds.  Forrest had a bass over six pounds and one over four pounds to anchor his stringer. Ten year old, Sawyer Parker placed second with a stringer weight of 14.46 pounds.  Sawyer caught a bass that weighed 8.27 pounds to win the big bass of the tournament as well. Jim Armstrong finished in third place with a stringer weight of 10.39 pounds.  

The club’s next and final regular season tournament will be held on Saturday, September 12, at McGee Creek Lake. Launch site will be the Buster Hights boat ramp. Fishing times will be from safe light until 4:00.  Immediately after the tournament, the top ten anglers will vote on the lake to be fished for the top ten tournament that will be held on Saturday, September 19.

TOP TEN STANDINGS:  THOSE IN HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN ARE CURRENT TOP TEN ANGLERS.  THOSE HIGHLIGHTED IN PINK ARE ANGLERS THAT CURRENTLY QUALIFY FOR A WILDCARD POSITION IN THE TOP TEN TOURNAMENT.  THESE MAY CHANGE AFTER THE MCGEE CREEK TOURNAMENT.
