The Double Nickle Bass Club (East) kicked off their Fall and Winter series on Tuesday. There were 19 boats that showed up to compete on a high river with an incoming tide. At blast-off some of the boats went south and some went north. During the wiegh-in most of the anglers talked about how difficult it was to catch fish. Bill Dorris proved to be the best of the field on this day as he weighed in 3 fish at 7.32 pounds. In second place was Jerry Bullock with a 3-fish bag weighing 5.50 pounds. Bullock also had the big fish of the day: a 4.43-pound bass. CJ Mayeux came in third place with 5.24 pounds.
The Double Nickel Bass Club (East) is holding its next tournament at the East Pearl River on June 4. For more information, please contact Dwain Crumby at 985-502-6006.
