Wow, what a windy day it was on Eufaula! 14 Teams decided to brave the 25+ mph winds on tournament day. We ended up allowing trailering due to the high winds and safety concerns. We had several teams that confirmed they were going to fish but decided not to thinking that they wouldn’t be able to stay on their water. Out of the 14 teams that fished though, man we whacked’em. We had some excellent sacks weighed in considering the conditions. Team Gardner and Mcdonald once again had a stellar day and took 1st place honors with 5 fish weighing 17.07 pounds, great job guys. 2nd place honors went to team Boyd and Browning who brought in 16.95 pounds anchored by a 4.89 pounder that also took 1st bass. Team Tinney and Kile took 3rd place honors with five fish weighing in at 14.14 anchored by 4.71 pounder that took 2nd big bass, great job guys. I had received numerous phone calls, emails, and text messages expressing concerns about fishing Okemah lake in June due to the water temperature likely exceeding 80 degrees and limiting our fishing time to 1:00. The concern of the lake being really small was also a major issue mentioned by many teams. I presented the option of trading lakes to either Ft. Gibson or Sardis lake for the same weekend or staying with Okemah and everybody with the exception of one team was more than excited about the swap. I don’t like having to change lakes during the season, but sometimes certain situations and concerns arise that forces you to make decisions and in this case common sense prevailed and majority won…”Sardis it is!”. So, now after the vote, we will be fishing Sardis Lake on June 9th, so everybody make plans accordingly. If you’ve never fished Sardis in June before, it’s awesome. There are tons of wood, grass, and rocks. The topwater and frog bite should be awesome. This has been a great season thus far and has been a real learning experience for Clay and I both. We really appreciate all of the encouragement and kind words that everybody has given to us and look forward to many more fun competitive days on the water. Just a reminder also about the Championship tournament on Texoma in September…we will be having a free cookout after the day 1 weigh-in, beverages, door prize giveaways, a flipping contest for a brand new flippin stick, and AOY prizes awarded. Our next tournament will be on Arbuckle Lake on May 5th. Arbuckle has been putting out some giants here lately and I expect to see some really big sacks come across the scale. Looking forward to seeing everybody there. Give me or Clay a call anytime if we can be of any support or answer any questions.
