The normal Double Nickel Bass Club tournament that was scheduled for Tuesday was moved because of bad weather. 19 boats showed up to fish on a Thursday which saw much better wether. It was cool with overcast skies for much of the morning. The tide was outgoing with low water  below Hwy 90 and higher the Farther north you went.  In the end Barry Lee took first place with a 3-fish stringer that weighed 6.31 pounds. Second place went to Mike Lee with 6.04 pounds.  Mike Mardois took third with 5.23 pounds. The big fish of the day was caught by Mike Lee who brought in a 3.04-pound bass.  

When the Bass Assassins gathered at the West Pearl this past Sunday they were greeted with cold post frontal conditions.  On top of that the river was at 13 feet and rising at the Pearl River gauge.  All of this combined means tough fishing and led to a small crowd of twelve anglers that showed up to do battle.  All the anglers knew it would be a tough day.  Out of the 12 only  five brought in fish, however some of those fish were good size.  There was a tie for first with Chris Basey and John Cahill both bringing in a 9.69 lbs. limit.  Ties in the Bass Assassins are broken by the big fish of each angler.  Chris's biggest fish was 3.40 and John's was 3.06 so Chris ended up with first place and John in second. 

The Double Nickel fished the East Pearl River. The temperatures were cold in the morning at blast-off as 23 boats raced in all directions. The weather warmed up nicely after the morning progressed. The water was high if you went north and anglers who went south experienced low water. After all said and done finishing infers place was  Mickey Breland with 3-fish weighing 4.76 pounds.  Second place went to James Harris with 4.751 pounds. Jerry Bullock came out in third place with a total wight of 4.40. Ralph Williams took first place in the big bass division with a bass that weighed  2.73 pounds. Second place big bass went to CJ Pichon with a 2.42-pound fish
