Vilbig Bass Club


April Tournament 2021

By Julie Grigsby


Marty Tackett Memorial Tournament


12 anglers competing. Here are the results:


Big Bass – 4.08lbs – Mike Grove


1st Place Stringer – 9.07 – Mike Grove


2nd Place Stringer – 7.01 – Matt Shelley


3rd Place Stringer – 6.14 – Tim Casbeer


1st Place Team – 13.02 – Tim Downs/Paul Poole


2nd Place Team – 12.08 – Matt Shelley/Steve Dillon


3rd Place Team – 11.13 – Julie Grigsby/Tim Casbeer


Congratulations to Mike Grove! Not only did he have a good tournament, but he also took over 1st place in the club! Points! A few members were missing because they were fishing the Cowboy Church Classic – we missed them. The day started cool and windy, and it never let up. I would say there were gusts up to 30 mph+! Ten anglers weighed in limits, including Mark Grigsby, Rick Huffman, Matt Shelley, Steve Dillon, Tim Downs, Paul Poole, Tim Casbeer, Mike Grove, and myself. Jaxon Phillips weighed in 2 while John Mikalik had 1. Fish, again, were caught all over the lake – North end, fishbowl, peninsula, and the deep end. The cold front changed the favored areas, but plenty of fish was landed. Last year, because of the virus, no draw tournaments were held. This is the first one since 2019. After all, the fishing was done, and the boats were docking at the Grigsby’s; Matt Shelley must have been really hot because he decided to go for a swim!


Thanks to Tim Casbeer for hosting the meeting.


Thanks to Linda Mikalik for coming to the weigh-in.

The big bass was their 1st keeper caught about an hour into the tournament on a BPS beaver style bait in 3 feet of water. Jon & Pierce culled and improved throughout the day, throwing lizards, square bills, & chatter baits with a solid day of 3 + pounders, mostly mid-lake, to finish out their bag.
