With 20 events in the books for the Northshore Bass Series 2018 Season, it’s safe to say that there have been some new faces in the rankings along with those who were expected to compete for the top spot. Terry Jones helps out with tabulating the points that are awarded to individual anglers based on there performances and has been monitoring the rankings closely. Jones says he has noticed a new face in the crowd in the top 10 of the rankings. “The largest leap we’ve seen so far was by Dwayne Crumby who has both a third place and a first place finish in the last two Bass Assassin’s events. These two impressive finishes have moved him up from the 23rd spot all the way to 7th spot,” Terry says. Other new faces in the top 10 include Danny and Nick Giovingo who have moved into the #5 spot.
Charles Dauzat and Mark Mohr look to be the front-runners to win the Northshore Bass Angler of the Year Title Terry goes on to mention the “not so new” faces in the rankings, “Charile Dauzat and Mark Mohr started off the year with a bang and haven’t slowed down since. It’s no surprise that these two have been a staple on the Pearl for a really long time and it appears it’s going to be a battle to try and best them,” Jones says. With the season 1/4 over with, many anglers are learning just how tough it is to climb the rankings being that the point system awards only the top 3 finishers in each tournament. Fishing more tournaments is the key to increasing anglers opportunity to score more points and to ultimately end up with the #1 ranking at the end of the season. “Certainly the Power Rankings are going to change hands back and forth throughout the season, but the anglers that are fishing really well this year are starting to realize they have not only the ability, but the opportunity to be crowned Northshore Bass Angler of the Year. Hopefully this is fueling their fire a little more than they would like to admit,” Terry says.

HB 391 introduced by Rep. Kevin Pearson of Slidell was voted down in the State Legislature by a vote of 37-59. While the bill was defeated, it is being hailed by some as a win in the attempt to garner attention to the growing problem of the privation of water. The Louisiana Sportsman’s Coalition said in a statement that it is encouraged by the fact that 37 state representatives voted for the reform despite “powerful opposition” and little time to prepare for a legislative push. According to Rep. Kevin Pearson it was the most talked about piece of legislation in the session and it definitely raised awareness of the problem.
