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!

Integrity Always Wins

By: Tom Hins In 2015 I discovered the world of Oklahoma Kayak Anglers.  I quickly made friends with members like Brent Wilson, Danny Bowen, Avery Metcalf, Jonathan Queen and other individuals. Having been a person who fished for table fare I hardly fished for bass before this. It has been a learning curve for me. The first year of tournaments I do not think I even submitted one scorable fish, but I was hooked on the competition aspect of these tourneys.  After that first season over the winter I watched more bass fishing shows and videos on the internet about bass fishing where my wife would walk by and say oh let me guess another fishing show.  The next year I started to catch some bass and started to feel I was at least respectable turning in scorable bass. In 2019 I finally cashed in a tournament with a 3 rd  place finish. Then came 2020 and Covid - 19 and two major projects at work, I have not fished most of the tournaments this year, in fact it has kept me from ...
