Uncle Leo Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Fished this weekend at Lake Shelbyville, Illinois. The FLW/BFL had a 100 boat tournament on the lake Friday and Saturday. We thought it would be fun to track and weight our top 5 fish on Saturday and compare to the winning team for that day. Results for us was shocking of course unofficial, weights were taken on my Berkley Digital scale which is somewhat accurate. We caught 11 keepers, boy sure was nice to cull. 25 fish total. Our weight 13 lbs- 5 oz. The winning weight that day was 13lb-14oz. Not to bad for weekend warriors I guess. As far as Friday was concerned we did not track weight but had 8 keepers. The winning weight for Friday was over 16lbs. I am sure we had no more then 12lbs. Friday was terrible weather heavy rain in and out all day. I had a CMD fail and had to pull off the lake and replace so who knows. Quote

Uncle Leo Posted September 2, 2009 Author Posted September 2, 2009 Congrats leo. ;D I know a guide that lives on that lake and I have heard it is quite a nice lake too. It sure is Mrs. M, Lots of hard wood in the bays. Good Crappie, Walleye,Musky and Withe Bass also. I stay at the Lithia Springs Resort when I go down. A wonderful lake to fish. Would the guide be Mary Satterfield. She knows the Crappies and White Bass on that lake like no other. The guy who invited Parasite weights is down there also. Quote
Mrs. Matstone Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 The guide I know is not Mary but the guy I know is Chuck the guy that invented the Parasite weight. Both him and his wife are very nice people. I have heard that shelbyville is a great lake for musky. Would like to take a trip out there and fish that place myself one day. Glad that you got to fish it. ;D Quote
Uncle Leo Posted September 2, 2009 Author Posted September 2, 2009 Yes Chuck is a great guy. I had a motor issue on Friday and he helped me work through it. Quote
