The river was a little high as 19 anglers fished the Double Nickel tournament at the East Pearl. It was a cool morning with overcast skies. The tide was falling all morning as some boats decided to fish south and some north. In the end, there were a lot of small fish brought in affecting the bag weights. Ralph Dunn took first place with a 3-fish tournament limit weighing 5.08 pounds. In second place was Rob Roberts with a limit that weighed 5.04 pounds. C J Mayeux came in third place with 3 fish weighing 4.70 pounds. Mayeux also won the big fish pot with a bass weighing 2.90 pounds.
