​After the hottest week of the year we had a very mild Fathers Day morning for the Bass Assassins on Bayou Lacombe.  The morning was breezy and was overcast till around 11.  After that the sun came back out along with the heat. Fifteen anglers showed up to do battle out on the bayou, and for Shane Dunnegan it was a very memorable day.  Shane brought in the biggest bag I remember seeing on Bayou Lacombe to claim the top place over all 15 anglers.  He had a 17.17 lbs. limit with two fish over 6 lbs. in it.  Shane's biggest fish was 6.50 lbs. which easily claimed the big fish honors for the day as well.  Dustin Touchet brought in a 7.48 lbs. limit to claim second.  To round up the top three we find John Seagers with a limit totaling 6.36 lbs.

24 boats showed up to do battle at the East Pearl River on Tuesday morning. The conditions were comfortable from the overcast and light winds. Dwain Crumby figured out the fish in the end to claim first place by brining in a 3-fish tournament limit that weighed 6.019 pounds. Crumby also won second place big bass with a fish that weighed 2.888 pounds.  Mike Lee came in second place with a limit that weighed 5.192 pounds.                                           Mickey Breland took 3rd place with 5.026 pounds and also won big bass with a 3.428-pound fish.                                

The Double Nickel Bass Club is holding its next tournament at the East Pearl River on Tuesday, June 20. This will be a classic tournament. For more information please contact Dwain Crumby at 985-502-6006.

For the last Bass Assassins tournament we fished the West Pearl.  As the 21 anglers showed up to Crawfords Landing they were greeted by a leveled out river at 8 foot on the Pearl River gauge.  The water in the marsh of the lower end was high.  The morning was quite mild with hot temperatures to come as the sun came up. The morning was full of big fish tales and talks about how to safely navigate the river south of Hwy. 90.  As the light started to pear over the trees I started to call out the boats.  One by one everyone raced to their spots both up and down the river.  Shortly before noon Crawfords landing started to get busy as all the anglers started pulling up for the weigh in.  Looking at the bags brought in it was obvious the stable river produced some great fishing.  In first we have Dalton Thompson with a 14.06 lbs. limit.  In second we have the winner from the last Assassins tournament Ron Garic with a limit totaling 10.62 lbs.  Third went to Troy Ladner for his 9.98 lbs. limit.  Bill Dorris earned fourth place with 9.92 lbs.  Ron Garic took home the big fish award with his 4.34 lbs. kicker.
