The Bass Assassins fished a high and fairly clear East Pearl River for their final tournament of 2024. The morning was chilly as the boats blasted off it was 60 degrees.   The water temps were hovering in the low 80s that morning.  Everyone was ready to get out on the water because it looked like it was going to be a great day.  As the day progressed, it was clear that their assumptions were wrong.  At the weigh-in, in some well-known river fishermen were talking about how tough it was.  Some only managed a few fish to bring to the scales.  John Seghers was able to put together a 7.70-pound limit to beat out the other 16 anglers in the field.  John Cahill took home second place with his 6.27-pound limit.  A 5-fish bag weighing 5.78 pounds was enough to propel Rob Roberts to a third-place finish.

The Double Nickel Club fished the East Pearl River on a beautiful morning. There was an early high tide that didn't start falling until mid-morning. Out of the 19 boats that showed up to fish it was Rob Roberts who caught the heaviest bag with 3 fish weighing 5.82 pounds. Roberts also won the big fish pot with a kicker that weighed 3.29 pounds. In second place was Joe Frierson with a limit that weighed 5.31 pounds. Ralph Dunn came in thrid place with 4.90 pounds.

It was a tough day fishing the Tchefuncte River as six anglers competed in the Double Nickel (west) event. The weather was cool, with mostly overcast skies and a dropping barometric pressure before the front. There was one angler who blew away the field by catching a 6.350-pound bass and that was Richard Allotto. Allotto's big fish not only won the big bass pot but propelled him to first place with a total weight of 10.170 pounds.
