​The Liars and Lunker's held their second tournament of the 2023 Spring / Summer Series on March 26th at the East Pearl River. A dozen teams participated and took their chances with unfavorable weather forecasted that day. As it turns out, despite a pretty stiff wind, the rain held off for the most part. 


When it came time to weigh the bass, it was clear that most people caught them pretty good. It was Rustin and Cristian Beaudette taking the win with 13.67 pounds. 

The next Liars and Lunker's tournament will be on April 30th at the East Pearl River. If you plan to attend, don't forget Hwy 90 is still closed at the West Pearl River. You'll have to drive around and get to the launch from the Pearlington side.

The Thursday evening tournaments are in full swing also. Every Thursday throughout the spring and summer at Lock One in Pearl River. It's only $21 per boat and blast off is at 5PM.

Thanks,

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.
