The Double Nickel Bass Club fished the East Pearl River on a chilly morning. The water was exceptionally low, and the wind had most anglers ditching their original plans and making adjustments. The muddy water that plagued anglers last week remained a problem for anglers today.  In the end, it was Ron Hindman who claimed first place with a tournament limit of 3 fish weighing 6.75 pounds. Hindman also won the big bass pot with a largemouth that came in at 4.07 pounds. In second place was Guy Stegall, who weighed in a limit of 6.03 pounds. Mike Mardois took third place with 5.70 pounds and also won second place with big bass with a 3.31-pound fish.  

The Double Nickel Bass Club will hold its next tournament at the East Pearl River on March 25. The club is for those who are above the age of 55. For more information, please call Dwain Crumby at 985-502-6006

The Double Nickel Bass Club kicked off their points season with a tournament at the East Pearl River. It was cool, and the winds started picking up as the morning went on. We had 24 boats that showed up to start off the morning with a little bragging and picking on each other. The water is still muddy just about where everyone went. The tide was fairly low going out.  Some had no problem finding fish; others, oh well. Some are full of eggs and others have already spawned out. In first place was Ralph Dunn who weighed in a 5-fish bag of 7.21 pounds. Dunn also took the big bass pot with a bass that weighed 4.29 pounds. Bob Perry came in second place with a limit weighing 6.57 pounds Perry won second place big bass as well with fish that weighed 3.71 pounds. Barry Lee came in third place 3rd with 6.26 pounds.

The second Bass Assassins of 2025 was held on Lock 1 with 22 anglers showing up to battle it out. Leading up to this tournament we had a big warming trend with clear sunny days for a couple days leading up to the tournament.  This had the everyone's hopes up for a bed fishing slug fest and limits north of 10 lbs.  As the day passed by the fishing was good however it was far from a slug fest.  There were no signs of beds or fish up shallow.  Most fish were still off the bank staging up.  At the end of the weigh in we found Zach Barnes dominated the field with a 8.29 lbs. limit and a 3.85 lbs. kicker that earned him first and big fish of the day.
