It was a very cool morning with a slight breeze as the Double Nickel (east) Bass Club fished the East Pearl River. Coastal flooding had the water extra high is it combined with the regular high tide. There were 20 anglers that showed up to fish the tournament, and in the end, most of them caught their limit. Ralph Dunn came in first place with a 3-fish limit of 7.37 pounds. In second place was Jerry Bullock who weighed in a limit of 7.25 pounds. Bullock also caught the big fish of the day: a 3.76-pound bass. In third place was Chris Stuart with 5.20 pounds.
The Double Nickel Bass Club (East) is holding its next tournament at the East Pearl River on Oct 15. For more information, please contact Dwain Crumby at 985-502-6006.
