Ronald Pierre closes out Bass Assasins 2012 season with win!
Ronald Pierre
Well another year has come, and pass. We had a wonderful second season for the Bass Assassins. Got to see all the old friends from last year, and meet many more. Thanks to Keith, and northshorefishingreport.com we were able to have our own page to post the reports, and put up some pictures. As for the last tournament of the year it was a case of being in the right place at the right time. One angler figured them quick. But as quick as they turned on they turned off. It was Ronald Pierre who brought in the biggest bag by far. Ronald used a combination of a Red Eye Shad, and a finess jig on drop offs to catch his 10 lbs. 13 oz. bag. In his limit was the big fish of the day which was 3 lbs. 15 oz. In second was Larry Dunlavy with a 2 fish bag weighing 3 lbs. 9 oz. Gene Perilloux was the only other angler to weigh in a fish. Gene brought in one fish weighing 2 lbs. 4 oz. Gavin Basey took the Little Tanglers division with one fish 1 lbs. 11 oz. I would like to thank all who joined us this year.

Sam Jenkins "locks up" win at Lock 1 Tournament
Joe Picone, Sam Jenkins, Patrick Engerran, Gavin Basey
For the 10 anglers and 2 Little Tanglers who showed up at Lock 1 this morning there was a nice fall chill in the air. That was a great change from the muggy mornings we have had all summer. The wind was blowing a bit, but not to bad. It was just a all around nice day out. With the front passing through the fishing turned on as well. Sam Jenkins was the angler who figured them out the best. Sam brought in five fish, but one was dead, so he could only weigh in four. His four fish weighed 6 lbs. 15 oz. Sam also had the big fish of the day with a 2 lbs. 15 oz. kicker. In second was Team Brown Electric and Brown Security fisherman Patrick Engerran. Patrick brought in a limit weighing 6 lbs. 12 oz. In third was Joe Picone with a 6 lbs. 8 oz. limit. In the Little Tanglers division it was Gavin Basey who walked away with the win with a 1 lbs. 14 oz. bass.

Big Basey Win in Bayou Lacombe
Chis Basey Gavin Basey
Hello out there in this post Isaac fishery. Bayou LaCombe is one of the local bayou's that was affected badly by the small, but powerful Cat. 1 storm. Despite the adverse conditions we held our Bayou LaCombe tournament that was canceled due to the storm. It was Chris Basey who walked away with the win. With his limit of 7 lbs. 12 oz. he far surpassed the field of 8. Chris decided to not stay in Bayou LaCombe, and found some better water in Bayou Bonfouca. There he caught his limit, and the big fish of the day as well which was 3 lbs. 3 oz. In second was Gene Perilloux with one fish weighing 2 lbs. 2 oz. In the Little Tangler's it was Gavin Basey who walked away with the win. He brought in his limit of 3 fish weighting 3 lbs. 10 oz. Gavin was in the boat with Chris, and both used white Chug Bugs, and watermelon red straight tail worms to catch their bags. They said that the rock banks were the most productive for the numbers, but it was the transitions of rock to a dock that held the bigger fish.
Other people that caught fish:
Larry Dunlavy 1 fish 1 lbs. 15 oz.
Ronnie Bel 1 fish 1 lbs. 13 oz.

Ronald Pierre Wins Tough Bayou Lacombe Tourney
Ronald Pierre and Beau Lassiter
It was a rough Fathers Day on the water this past Sunday. Out of the 14 anglers only 10 fish were brought to the scale. All three of the Little Tanglers brought in fish with help from the new size limits for them. The kids now have a 10 size limit, and 3 fish creel limit. This is in hopes of making it more exciting for them. In the grown ups side the one angler who figured out the best pattern was Ronald Pierre. Ronald brought in a limit of 5 lbs. 12 oz. that propelled him into first, and a 1 lbs. 11 oz. big fish of the day. Following in second was Beau Lassiter with a 4 lbs. 11 oz. bag of 4 fish. In third was Chris Basey with one fish weighing 1 lbs. 7 oz. In the Little Tanglers it was Gavin Basey who brought in his 3 fish limit weighing 2 lbs. 11 oz. to capture first for his second time in a row. In second was John Cahill with one fish weighing 1 lbs. 3 oz. John's fish was also the big fish for the kids. Hunter Lassiter brought in a 1 lbs. 1 oz. bass to just miss second. The next tournament is set for July 1st at Lock 1. If you have any questions you can email bassassassinsla@gmail.com, or call Chris Basey at 985-707-7857.

It was another tough day for the Bass Assassins. This time it was clear across the parish on Bayou Bonfouca.

He brought in a limit that weighed 6 lbs. 12 oz. In his bag was the big fish of the day, which was a 1 lbs. 14 oz. whopper. :) I say that sarcastically of course. Following in second was Steve Dunlavy with 4 fish weighing 4 lbs. 6 oz. Third was captured by Charlie Plescia who brought in 3 fish weighing 3 lbs. 9 oz.
Other anglers that brought in fish were:

We would like to inform everyone that we are going to start a youth division. If we get at least 2 kids under 15 fishing with their parents then that money will go into their own pot. They will have all the same rules, but they will not be fishing against the grown ups. I feel this makes the kids feel better about their chances, and brings more excitement for them.

folks from last year, and some new faces. It was a great day on the
water. The next tournament is set for February 19 at Crawfords Landing.
Hope to see everyone out there, and some more new faces. If you have
any questions you can email bassassassinsla@gmail.com,

everyone about another tournament trail called Southern Fishing Buddies.
They are also a great open team tournament. Their next tournament is

Bass Assassins Fishing Club Kicks off This Sunday!
Bass Assassins Bass Fishing Club will be starting up again on Feb. 5th on Bayou LaCombe. We will fish the first Sunday, and third Sunday this year instead of Saturdays. We will be fishing Bayou LaCombe, Bayou Bonafuca, East Pearl, Lock 1 ( North side of lock ), Tchefuncte River, & Crawfords landing. We are an open club with no club fees, and 100% pay back. We fish safe light till noon. The entry fee will be $15, and $5 more to be in the big fish pot. These are not team tournaments. If there are two people in a boat they are fishing against each other. After the weigh in the fish will be released by the launch. If you have any questions you can call Chris Basey at 985-707-7857, or email bassassassinsla@gmail.com . Hope to see everyone again, and some new faces.
