Wieda's Marine Select Series 1 Round 1
Guist Creek Lake - Shelbyville KY
March 31, 2019. This was the first of two Qualifying Rounds for the Wieda’s Selects Series #1 where Anglers compete to advance to the Championship round. It was an extremely challenging day for our Anglers due to an over-night 40-degree air temperature drop and a 10-degree water temperature drop. Anglers were informed of the lake the morning of this event so no time for practice. There were given a 15-minute ride around to determine there starting spot. The day was broken up into three two-hour periods. Only 3 scorable bass caught all day and that was in the first period. Only two Anglers will advance to the Championship round: Dennis Donovan from Hamilton OH and Steve Sydnor Dry Ridge Ky. The next Qualifying Round is April 20th. See complete details here.
