OKA Event #5: 4 Lake Slam Preview

The Oklahoma Kayak Anglers season continues and swings back towards central, Oklahoma in a 4 lake road runner which now includes: Sportsman, Wetumka, Prague, and Holdenville lakes. This event was originally planned for Sportsman, Wetumka, and Prague Lakes. However, due to previous events the OKA is expecting another large turnout and added Holdenville Lake. Make no mistake these 4 lakes have been responsible for some giant bass caught out of a kayak. With this big bass mentality in mind this tournament may be an early summer Home Run Derby. 

Sportsman lake located near Seminole, Oklahoma has 15 miles of shoreline with grass and many chunk rock banks. Sportsman, also known as Lake Seminole isn't as popular for giant bass as the other 3 lakes but still has the potential for a giant. The lake has an honor box and launch fee of $5. 

Wetumka lake is a small lake that packs a punch. This 169 acre lake is a popular place to catch a giant bass but is the size of a big pond. The lake has multiple types of grass lining the banks with deep and shallow spots. Lake Wetumka has a good size campground and a concrete ramp. Lake offcials are uping their enforcemnt of permits for the lake and has a $3 a day fee which can be paid at the trailer house south of the ramp. 

Prague lake located Northwest of the City of Prague in central, Oklahoma has big bass clout with many anglers fishing the lake for a "PB" bass. Prague municipal lake is a 400 acre with grass, standing timber and stained to clear water.

Holdenville Lake is the largest of the 4 lakes with 550 acres and a very large parking lot and ramp. The lake supplies the City of Holdenville with its drinking water.This lake has deep banks, sandstone rocks, and good offshore structure. 

The awards will be held at Rudy Alan's Steakhouse in Wewoka at the junction of  highways 270 and 56. As always this event will have AOY and NOY points, door prizes, and cash prizes for the top 10% of anglers. The Big Bass winner will receive a Dobyns rod provided by sponsor Dobyns Rods along with the Big Bass cash prize. Moreover, any current KBF member who places in the top 3 will receive 2021 KBF National Championship invites. Hope to see you out there! Tight Lines!

OKA Event # 2 Recap: Barham wins at the end

OKA event #2 has concluded and as always the weather and fishing does its best to not cooperate. Anglers experienced low temperatures, intense fog, high winds, muddy water, and post cold front bass. However, top anglers always find a way to catch em' and put a 5-fish limit together. Out of 66 anglers only 116 bass were scored. Moreover, Only 9 anglers were able to fill the limit of 5 bass. As the saying goes, its called fishing and not catching for a reason. Nevertheless, someone always rises to the top to cash out the top payout.  Angler Chance Barham was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma and has been fishing since he could walk. Barham has only been kayak fishing for the last year when he discovered Greg Blanchard's  kayak fishing channel on Youtube. Barham fished at Hominy Lake and used a green pumpkin Senko with the tip dipped in garlic chartreuse and dead-sticked it all day. At 1:40PM, Barham sat in 11th place on tourneyx and wanted to throw in the towel. Soon after 1...

2020 OKA Season In Review

My Grandfather use to always say " The years go by faster as you get older", and as the years add up this cannot be more true. The OKA released the 2020 schedule last October and worked hard to gather new sponsors, keep longtime sponsors and recruit new anglers and maintain the familiar hammers the OKA sees on a season to season basis. Now with a flip of a page on the calendar the OKA looks forward to 2021. Kayak fishing in Oklahoma has taken a steady increase over the past few years and we as group expected a big season with a revamped board, social media presence, and sponsorships. However, the OKA did not expect the outpouring of support and attendance from anglers across the state and region. Some put the huge turn outs mostly on Covid - 19 and that may be true. Still the interest must be present for people to participate and judging by 2020 we have a ton of interest.  The 2020 season kicked off March 23rd at Lake Murray in southern, Oklahoma. As normal...
