MARINE FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE TO FISH LAKE SHELBYVILLE

The FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) tournament season will continue Saturday, June 8, with a T-H Marine FLW BFL Illini Division tournament on Lake Shelbyville. Up to 400 boaters and co-anglers will be competing for top awards of up to $8,000 and $3,000 respectively in the one-day tournament.

WHEN: 
Saturday, June 8, 2019
Takeoff: 6 a.m. CDT. Weigh-In: 2:30 p.m.

9th Street Ramp
9th Street
Shelbyville, Ill.

NOTES: 
Bass are expected to bite well at Lake Shelbyville for this early-June BFL divisional tournament. When the circuit visited in May 2018, fishing shallow flats near drops in the Lithia Springs area with a Wicked Lures In-Line Spinner and a Carolina-rigged creature bait was the key to victory for boater champion Michael Black. Targeting mid-lake points with worms, jigs and crankbaits has also done well in previous BFL tournaments on Lake Shelbyville this time of year. Similar patterns are expected to be seen next weekend. The winner of this Illini Division tournament will likely need a five-bass limit in the 15-pound range.

The 2019 BFL is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 128 tournaments throughout the season, five qualifying events in each division. The top 45 boaters and co-anglers from each division, along with the five winners of the qualifying events, will advance to one of six regional tournaments where they are competing to finish in the top six, which then qualifies them for one of the longest-running championships in all of competitive bass fishing – the BFL All-American. The 2019 BFL All-American will be held May 30-June 1 at the Potomac River in Marbury, Maryland, and is hosted by the Charles County Department of Recreation, Parks and Tourism and the Commissioners of Charles County. Top performers in the BFL can move up to the Costa FLW Series or even the FLW Tour.
