I'll be there, hopeing to meet some new friends. Look for the boat in my avatar, prolly the only boat there with a 9.9 on it! Might be handy if the winds are at 30mph like last weekend.

Hey pez, those are nice rigs, man. I fished one bass tournament on Shelbyville out of my Ranger 621. Hard to maneuver in the timber, but the ride was really, really nice

[pezman38]

Yeah, walleye is my first/second passion (can't decide). I love to bass fish, but take trips to walleye fish. I go to Lake Erie the next weekend to hopefully land some pig walleyes.


Out of curiousity, I have only been fishing Shelbyville for 2 years, is that lake ever at normal pool? And what is normal pool, seems down about 20ft to me just from looking at the bank and runoff.

Walleye is my 2nd passion. I fished the IWT on the IL River for a number of years.

Normal pool on Shelbyville for winter is 594. For summer it's 599.7-ish. Between winter and summer, normal is considered 596 for a month or two---and we are very close to right on. Here's a link to the info:

Recent years have seen very high water in Spring and Summer. This year we're tracking pretty normal---so far anyway.

Even with the weather coming in this weekend, ITT should have a big weigh-in..It's pretty good right now Good luck to all that are fishing I might come down for the weigh-in and look a couple of you guys up

What color is steve=w bullet???? I was pulling out last sunday and I seen a yellow and blue bullet picking up his wife that parked the truck/trailer at eagle creek.. I hardly see any bullets on shelbyville lake..

[ptrFishing]

Steve's is red and white. He just told me that the yellow and blue one is a brand new 21XRD a guy here in Decatur just bought. I guess he's fishing the ITT this weekend. Kinda anxious to see that rig.

[pezman38]

I saw him on the water last Sunday, rig is sweet. I think it had a 250 Pro XS if we are talking about the same boat.

[ptrFishing]

Scary fast! Hope he's not fishing my spots.

[jimfc3]

hey let us know how it goes sunday...

[ptrFishing]

Will do. Sunday's weather is looking pretty good compared to the current mess.

Buddy of mine owns the new blue and yellow Bullet. It's his third Bullet and yes it is pretty sharp
