Lee Hillman Dominates on Liberty!
Lee Hillman
If you was to script a great day for fishing it would look just like today. The weather was great, with very comfortable temperatures. They skies were clear, and the fish were biting. The wind was a bit breezy, but easy to get out of if you didn't like it or use it to your advantage. All in all it was a perfect day for the last Bass Assassins tournament of the 2013 season. Seventeen anglers, and one youth showed up to fish. These anglers brought in 39 bass to the scales. Three of which were over 3 lbs. Lee Hillman was the one on top at the end. Lee brought in a impressive 10 lbs. 6 oz. limit with a 3 lbs. 13 oz. kicker. Lee breezed to the win, and big fish honors with over a two pound lead over second place Brock Fallon. Brock earned second with a 8 lbs. 4 oz. limit. Dereck Paternostro took home third place with his limit weighing 7 lbs. 14 oz. The Little Tanglers division was won by Gavin Basey. Gavin brought in a keeper weighing 1 lbs. 13 oz.

Gene Perilloux shuts out the field!
Gene Perilloux
TOUGH! TOUGH! TOUGH! That was the word for today. That, and "nothing" which was muttered by the anglers as the checked in. It was one of those days that you feel like you are doing something wrong, but when you get back to the weigh in you find you was not the only one who struggled. Eight anglers fished today. One single fish was weighed in. Gene Perilloux brought in that 1 lbs. 12 oz. keeper to take the whole pot. Good job Gene!
The last tournament for the year will be November 3rd on Bayou Liberty. If you have any questions about the Bass Assassins tournaments you can email bassassassinsla@gmail.com or call Chris Basey at 985-707-7857.

Todd Stien manages Crawford's Landing win despite adverse conditions
Todd Stien
With Tropical Storm Karen bearing down on us early in the week we carefully watched the weather to decide the faith of the Crawfords Landing tournament. As the storm broke apart Saturday we sent out emails as well as posting on northshorefishingreport.com that we were still having the tournament. Twelve anglers showed up brave the scattered rain storms that were forecasted. However, these anglers enjoyed better than expected conditions. Todd Stien came in with the biggest bag taking home the first place prize. Todd's total weight for his limit was 9 lbs. 8 oz. Todd also had the big fish of the day with his 3 lbs. 3 oz. kicker. In second was Chris Basey with a 8 lbs. 2 oz. limit. Kevin Williams came in third with a limit weighing 6 lbs. 13 oz.

Kyle Hills wins big on Tchefuncte!
Kyle Hills
It was a busy day at 4th street launch. There was two tournaments launching out of there this morning launching around 25 boats. There was 19 anglers fishing in our Bass Assassins tournament. However the high pressure that was showed up through the day made it a rough day. This showed up at the scale. While some of the bags were nice, only 8 people bring up fish to the scale. When going down the river it was clear that there was anglers fishing everything from muddy water up the river, to clear water down the river to the mouth. Kyle Hills figured out the best pattern to bring in 4 fish weighing a total of 10 lbs. 6 oz. along with the big fish of the day 5 lbs. 6 oz. Cindy Davidson claimed second with two fish totaling 5 lbs. 15 oz. In third was Elvis Black with a 2 fish bag weighing 5 lbs. 7 oz.

Other anglers who caught fish were: Shawn Hartman 3 fish 4 lbs. 9 oz. Ivan Milicevic 1 fish 3 lbs. 3 oz. Luke O'Neal 2 fish 2 lbs. 12 oz. Bradley Romano 1 fish 2 lbs. 7 oz. Bobby Newberry 1 fish 2 lbs. |

Opening kick off Sunday for the Saints 2013/2014 season.

Twenty-five anglers showed up to fish today. When they weighed in it was clear they didn't just show up to kill time. Fourteen anglers brought in 43 bass to weigh in. Timmy Dickens topped the field with a 9 lbs. 10 oz. limit. Almost a pound behind him was Beau Lassiter with a 8 lbs. 12 oz. limit. Beau's limit was anchored by the 3 lbs. 9 oz. big fish of the day.

Todd Stein Dominates On Lock One!
Todd Stine and Christopher Stine
The weather reports were not looking good for this morning. Rain, and thunder storms were headed to the Lock 1 area. Even with the bleak outlook 13 anglers, and two little tanglers showed up with their game faces on. Well lucky for all of us the thunderstorms never showed up. We did have some light mist, and all day cloud cover. which is great conditions for Lock 1. Some one should have told the fish that. Though fish were caught the word from everyone was it was rough. For Todd Steine his day got a lot better when he weighed in the only limit of the day. His bag was 6 lbs. 14 oz. which was good for the first place honors. In second was Jimmy Dorris with four fish going 5 lbs. 2 oz. Third was taken by Beau Lassiter with four fish weighing 4 lbs. 15 oz. The big fish prize was brought home by Joe Picone with a 3 lbs. 5 oz. bass. The Little Tanglers division was taken by Christopher Stine. Christopher brought in a LT limit of 3 fish going 3 lbs. 5 oz.

Ricky Benitez wins Liberty Tourney despite blazing temps!
Low water, and hot temps is what the 24 anglers who fished the Bass Assassins tournament today on Bayou Liberty were greeted to. Ricky Benitez brought in the biggest bag of 8 lbs. 8 oz. His limit was anchored by a 3 lbs. 6 oz. kicker. Unfortunately, Ricky's kicker was only good enough to tie for big fish. The other big fish was brought in by Lee Hillman. Lee fished right around the launch with his trolling motor, due to him not having a lower unit. In second was Travis Young with a 7 lbs. 11 oz. limit. It was a 6 lbs. 9 oz. limit brought in by Beau Lassiter that took third. Kyle Hills rounded up the top four with a 5 lbs. 12 oz. limit.

Clay Zeringue reigns supreme on the Pearl!
Clay and his son Hunter
When you head out to Crawford's Landing you want to see a level of around 7 feet. We lucked out, and found a level of 7.5 feet, and falling. That combined with several reports from the river of bags from 12 pounds all the way up to 17 pounds brought out 21 anglers to compete. As I blasted everybody off I could see they were all anxious to get to there spot. A Pearl River regular, Clay Zeringue, walked away with the top prize with 10 lbs. 2 oz. He also just missed the big fish of the day with his 3 lbs. 12 oz. kicker for his limit. In second was Steve Ruschmier with four fish weighing 6 lbs. 14 oz. Jimmy Dorris finished in third with four fish weighing 6 lbs. 1 oz. Rounding up the top 4 as well as taking the big fish honors was Blaine Williams. Blaine brought in 3 fish good for 5 lbs. 13 oz. His big fish was 3 lbs. 13 oz.

Jimmy Dorris earns hard earned win on Bayou Lacombe
Jimmy Dorris
Bayou Lacombe usually brings good numbers of anglers to fish, and today was now different. Predictions of rain didn't keep the 20 anglers and two little tanglers who fished today home. Just wish the fish would have been more plentiful. only 15 bass were brought to the scale today. It was a tough one. Jimmy Dorris brought in 4 of those to put together a bag weighing 5 lbs. 12 oz. He also had the big fish of the day with a 2 lbs. 6 oz. bass. In second with two fish was Kyle Hills. Kyle's two fish weighed 2 lbs. 14 oz. Keith Hydel took third with one bass weighing 2 lbs. 3 oz. For fourth we had a three way tie. Steve Ruschmire, Kirk Goodwin, and Cindy Davidson all brought in one fish weighing 2 lbs. 2 oz. In the Little Tanglers division Gavin Basey brought in one fish that weighed 2 lbs. 12 oz. to take the win.

Ricky Benitez handles rough conditions for win on Lock 1
Ricky Benitez, Korey Incsoe, Jared Norris
Rain, heat, and tough conditions. That's what the 12 anglers were faced with on Lock 1 today. As everyone was signing up we could see lightning in the distance. Not long after blast off a storm blew through with high winds, rain, and lightning. When everyone showed up at the launch the word was there was plenty of fish caught, but the keepers were hard to come by. While stories of the day were shared we weighed everyone in. Ricky Benitez won all around with a limit weighing 7 lbs. 5 oz., and a big fish of 3 lbs. 5 oz. Second place was earned by Jared Norris with 6 lbs. even. Korey Inscoe rounded up the winners with a 5 lbs. 7 oz. bag.

Lance Toups Cruises to easy win on Lock 1
Beau Lassiter, Cory Inscoe, Lance Toups, Chris Basey, Hunter Zeringue
Sunday was a beautiful day. One of very few that we have had over the last two months. Every time it the next tournament comes around we have been plagued by post front bone chilling cold, or muddy rain swollen rivers. This one turned out to be a great weekend, for the fisherman anyway. Lock 1 is a tricky place to fish and Sunday was no different. This helped the guys who fish the Lock on a regular basis. They know how to make these fish bite. Lance Toups was able to trick five to bring to the scale. Lance is a regular on the Lock, and is a man to watch for. His five fish weighed 5 lbs. 8 oz. which bested second by almost a pound. That second place angler was Cory Inscoe who had a 4 lbs. 10 oz. limit. Rounding up the top three was Beau Lassiter with four fish that tip the scales at 4 lbs. 4 oz. The big fish of the day was a 1 lbs. 12 oz bass brought in by Chris Basey. There was two Little Tanglers that fished. Hunter Zeringue was the only one to bring in fish. His two fish weighed 1 lbs. 2 oz.
Other people to bring in fish were:
Joe Picone 3 fish 3 lbs. 8 oz.
Zack Barnes 3 fish 3 lbs.
Gene Perilloux 2 fish 2 lbs. 12 oz.
Chris Basey 2 fish 2 lbs. 12 oz.
Eric Starns 2 fish 2 lbs. 6 oz.
Travis Young 2 fish 2 lbs. 4 oz.
The next one will be on Bayou Liberty April 7th. We will be launching from the Bayou Liberty Marina on Bayou Liberty RD. This change in launch location has been brought up to me many times so we will be launching from there when we fish Bayou Liberty / Bonfouca area. It is a 5 dollar pay launch, but there is only a short no wake zone, and the parking is a little better. If you have any questions call Chris Basey at 985-707-7857, or email bassassassinsla@gmail.com

Basey wins 2nd straight despite raw conditions
Chis Basey, Tommy Rodgers, Ricky Benitez, Deric Domingue
I got to the launch early this morning, not really expecting many people to show up. The low temps in the high 20's, and low muddy water was sure to keep anglers in their bed till mid morning. Once again the anglers showed me that just like the bass they can be unpredictable. 20 anglers showed up this morning creating a line of boats on 4th St. waiting to launch. Talks at the launch were more about how bad the day was going to be rather than hopeful trash talking. However with some of the best on the Tchefuncte floating out there waiting on blast off you can't help but think someone is going to catch them. Eight out of the twenty anglers weighed in fish. Here are the weights:
1st Chris Basey 5 fish 8 lbs. 6 oz. Big Fish: Chris Basey 3.2
2nd Ricky Benitez 5 fish 5 lbs. 10 oz.
3rd Tommy Rodgers 4 fish 5 lbs. 6 oz.
4th Deric Domingue 3 fish 5 lbs. 2 oz.
5th Jay Hopkins 4 fish 4 lbs. 8 oz.
6th Bobby Newberry 2 fish 3 lbs. 4 oz.
7th Ronald Pierre 3 fish 3 lbs. 0 oz.
8th Yancy Bankston 2 fish 2 lbs. 12 oz.
The next tournament will be March 17th on Lock 1. Hopefully the weather is a little more stable, so we can get some better fishing. If you have any questions call Chris Basey at 985-707-7857, or email bassassassinsla@gmail.com

Chris Basey prevails on cold, muddy East Pearl
Tyler Bunn, Timmy Dickens, Jim Harris, Chris Basey
Today was our first tournament on the East Pearl this year. It was cold, post front conditions. The water in the East Pearl was moving as fast, and was as muddy as the West Pearl. You couldn't write a more bleak looking morning. As all the boats were backed down the motors reluctantly started. When even your motor wants to go home, and watch Bill Dance it can put doubts in your head. Well it turns out they were right. It was tough out there today. Only 10 bass were weighed in out of 14 anglers. In first place was Chris Basey with 4 fish weighing 5 lbs. 12 oz. Chris found his fish were there was stained water. Not muddy, and not clear. It had to be the stained water close to the muddy water. He used a RP3 3/8 oz. jig in "old faithful" color with a blue sapphire Nasty Baits Cra Z Craw as a trailer, and the same color Cra Z Craw rigged Texas style with a 1/8 oz. weight. His big fish ( 2 lbs. 6 oz. ) came on the jig and trailer combo. In second was Timmy Dickens with 2 fish weighing 2 lbs. 4 oz. We had a tie for third. Jim Harris and Tyler Bunn both brought in one fish that weighed 1 lbs. 6 oz.
Other people that brought in fish: Steve Garcia 1 fish 1 lbs. 2 oz.
Kyle Hills 1 fish 1 lbs. 0oz.
The next tournament will be March 3rd on the Tchefuncte River. Hope to see everyone again. Maybe mother nature will give us some better weather before, and during the tournament. If you have any questions about the Bass Assassins tournaments fell free to call 985-707-7857, or email bassassassinsla@gmail.com Good luck to everyone out there.

Kyle Hills kicks off season opener with win!
Kyle Hills
Two fronts past through this week. The skies were blue. The water was pushed out and dark to stained everywhere. You couldn't plan any tougher conditions to fish in. However a record number of fisherman showed up at the Main St. launch for the first Bass Assassins tournament of 2013. Whether it was the beautiful weather or some cabin fever twenty-nine anglers were lined up to launch in the morning. It looked like a BASS event with boats floating out in the bayou, and more launching. Lots of new guys, and a bunch of old faces were in the water as I called out boats to leave. At the weigh in there was some nice bags brought in. There was even three fish over 4 lbs brought in that were caught in Bayou LaCombe. As anglers lined up it was obvious that the tough conditions did not win this one. Kyle Hills brought in the biggest bag with 5 solid keepers weighing a total of 9 lbs. 2 oz. In second was Gene Perilloux with 4 fish weighing 7 lbs. 15 oz. In his bag was a nice 4 lbs. 10 oz. bass. We had a tie for third. Joe Picone, and Shawn Hartman both brought in a limit weighing 7 lbs. even. In fourth was Jimmy Dorris with a 6 lbs. 13 oz. limit. The big fish honors went to Eric Starns with a beautiful 5 lbs. 3 oz. large mouth.
Others that brought in fish: Sam Jenkins 3 fish 6 lbs. 5 oz.
Chris Basey 4 fish 6 lbs.
Zack Barnes 2 fish 5 lbs. 3 oz.
TJ Schlesinger 1 fish 2 lbs. 2 oz.
Allen Foster 1 fish 2 lbs. 2 oz.
