The third of five 2023 Fall/Winter Series tournaments for the Liars and Lunker's is in the books now. The Liars and Lunker's fished out of the East Pearl River on Sunday, October 29th, drawing an even dozen teams.  The anglers were met with a tide that was falling fast and warm weather.  The fishing seemed to be feast or famine as only five teams weighed in five fish limits.  

The Double Nickel Bass Club held their tournament at the East Pearl River. There was a strong incoming tide all morning and most of the 22 boats that participated went north.  In the end it was Mike Marodis who came out with the heaviest bag with 8.234 lbs. Marodis also won the big fish pot with a bass that weighed  4.519 lbs. In second place was Ralph Williams with 6.371 lbs. Roger Mitchell came in third place with 6.371 lbs.  Richard Allotto took 2nd place big bass with a 2.954-lb. fish.                              

A small crowd of 9 anglers showed up at the Hwy. 90 launch on the East Pearl for the last Bass Assassins tournament.  That fall chill was in the air pushing the temps down to 55 degrees. The water was low and extremely clear.  There was a lot of different strategies tossed around as everyone got ready for blast off.  Some going to the marsh to catch the falling tide and some headed way north to get out of the salt water.  The extremely clear water and high salinity didn't hurt the fishing any.  Word at the weigh in was that lots of fish were caught.  Anglers were saying they caught fish all day just no big ones.  All in all it was a great day on the water for everyone.  Joe Stokes took home the win with a 9.47 lbs. limit.  In second we have Richard Allotto with a limit totaling 8.95 lbs.  The big fish honors also went to Richard for his 2.87 lbs. big fish.
