A West Pearl River at Flood Stage stared at the anglers as they arrived at Crawford’s landing to do battle in the June club tournament. With the influx of rain and rainwater runoff from the Slidell area as well as water coming down the river from the north it was surely going to be a challenging day for the teams that showed up. Most teams headed south to the marsh in search of more stable water as boat numbers were called and all boats returned safely at the 3pm check-in with mixed reports. It was evident that the fish were beginning to transition into their summer time heat related patterns of biting early and NOT often as the day progressed. The final results are as followed for the day:
1st Chad Babin & Tyler S. 10.34lbs
2nd Jason & Trenton Pittman 8.12lbs
3rd Chris Davis & Brett Johnson 7.12lbs
The Mister Twister Big Bass of the tournament went to Trenton Pittman with a fish weighing in at 3.22lbs and that fish earned him the Big Bass prize money as well as the tackle package provided by Mister Twister.
The Regis Radiator Angler of the Year race is starting to take shape but it is still anyone’s to win and will heat up as the season progresses. After six tournaments and the drop points figured in the standings are as followed:
