The Double Nickel Bass Club fished the East Pearl on an overcast morning. 23 boats showed up to compete for bragging rights (and a jar of money of course) It was a nice morning with an overcast and light wind. You needed a light jacket for the initial run. The water is still high and stained. Some of the guys found a few fish, but they said they really started biting when it was time to make their run back. In the end, it was Bob Perry who came in first place with 3 fish weighing 5.87 pounds. In second place was Ralph Dunn who totaled 5.77 pounds and 2nd place Big Bass with a 2.92-pound fish. Barry Lee came in third place with 5.35 pounds. Lee also won the big bass pot with a 3.06-pound fish. 
   

The Double Nickel Bass Club fished the East Pearl on Tuesday. There were 26 boats that showed up to fish on a foggy morning.  Even with the tide going out, the water seemed to be low.  In the end it was Mike Mardois who claimed first place with a 3-fish tournament limit weighing 6.10 pounds. In second place was Norman Johnson who brought in a limit that weighed 5.78 pounds.  Bill Dorris came in third place with 5.73 pounds. Dorris also won second place in the big bass division with a 3.68-pound fish. 
Ralph Dunn took 1st place Big Bass at 3.96. 

Twenty six anglers showed up at the Hwy. 90 launch for the last Bass Assassins tournament on East Pearl.  Leading into this tournament we had a lot of rain the day before with very strong south winds.  When we got to the launch in the morning the water was low but there was a line of thrash at the top of the ramp meaning the water was extremely high the day before.  Still with the tough conditions hopes were high with a full moon and warmer weather.  The weigh in results show that those hopes came true.  Eric Cico took home the win with a 10.46 lbs. limit and a 2.88 lbs. kicker to also with big fish. 

The next Bass Assassins will be held April 6th. at Crawfords Landing.  If you have any questions you can email [email protected] or call Chris Basey at 985-707-7857.
