For the 4th event of the fall/winter series on November 24th, 10 boats entered to give it their best on the East Pearl. Participation is typically a little slower in the later winter due to the overlap with deer season, but nonetheless the die-hards will always show up and fish! Taking home 1st place fishing solo was Paul Pailie with 10lbs. 13oz. 

2nd place went to John Walker and Jerry Grubbs with a close 10lbs. 4oz. Lastly taking home third place Scott Mitchell and John Andrews with 7lbs. 6oz. ​

We appreciate all those who came out and participated and look forward to our next event at the East Pearl Hwy 90 launch on December 29th, 2024. 

The Double Nickel Bass Club (west) fished the Tchefuncte River on Tuesday. The club squeezed one more tournament in before work on the new 4th St. Launch begins in January. The River was dirty towards the Abita River and cleaner the further south anglers went. In the end, it was Joe Picone who took first place with a 3-fish tournament limit weighing 7.63 pounds. Picone also cuaght the big fish of the day: a 3.97-pound bass. 

The 2024 Bass Assassins season is over as the final tournament was held at Crawford's Landing.   A small crowd of 9 anglers showed up at the launch to do battle on the river.  The Angler of the Year spot was already wrapped up, with Eric Ciko walking away with the title. Everyone else was battling to either get a win to make it to the Classic, or get a few extra points to make sure they made it to the Classic through points.  The river was rising the morning of the tournament cresting at 7.5 feet at the Pearl River gauge.  As I called out the boats, a surprising number of them headed north.  As the day pressed on, it was clear it was a tough day, and the weights were going to be low.  Of the nine anglers that showed up, no one brought in a limit.  Jimmy Dorris brought in four fish that totaled 4.93 pounds. Dorris also brought in the big fish: a largemouth bass weighing 1.85 pounds.
