Plaisance And Pierre	Murr And St. Romain
Results

It was a chilly, breezy morning that greeted 28 teams at the Lucky 7 Marina in Des Allemands for the second tournament of the South Louisiana Team Trail. Jackets were shed, though, as the sun heated temperatures into the high sixties. Clouds burned off and provided the anglers with a beautiful day for fishing. Who would have believed it when the day before winds were gusting in excess of 30 miles per hour.

I've had many people tell me they don't like fishing the spawn. You couldn't have proven it at the scales. I have to say that in my previous two years as director, I've never seen more gorgeous bass. New members Dwayne Plaisance and David St. Pierre brought in a whopping 18.35 pounds, with their big bass tipping the scale at 5.12 pounds. Earning big bass and first place they brought home $1535 for their efforts. I'd say that's not bad for doing what you love for 9 hours. John Murr and Ivy St. Romain brought in an impressive limit weighing 14.93 pounds which earned them second place and $630. Ken Sherman and Brent Bonadona cinched third place and $510 for their limit weighing 12.89 pounds. Not far behind in 4th place with $390 in their pockets were Chris Waguespack and Jason Tastet with a 12.84 pound limit. Michael Robert and Mike Gunter took 5th place and $320 for their 11.81 pound limit.

As the anglers made their way from the scales, they headed straight for the steaming pot where Yvette was serving up plates of delicious spaghetti. We even had dessert! What a great surprise it was when Melanie Plaisance presented me with a birthday cake.

Congratulations to all who placed. Thanks go out to Yvette Granier and Jane Poche who donated the ingredients for the spaghetti. And also, thank you Melanie for making my birthday special.

I apologize for not having pictures to post at this time. My batteries were dead! I'm supposed to be having the pictures emailed to me.

See you next month at Doiron's Landing. We're having alligator sauce piquante!
