BTW -- what TD suggested about "begging" on BFT in a tactful way will pay dividends. I have received extremely useful information from several fellow BFT members on where and how to catch catfish, and I have fished with one fellow BFT member, and will fish with him again, who knows how and where to catch catfish at Utah Lake, and one of these first days I will take a member of BFT out fishing for cats who has asked me to take him out for catfish on Utah Lake (and this man has shared some valuable information on fishing Flaming Gorge and other bodies of water, and on trolling techniques). Bottom line, "What goes around comes around". I am far from an expert on catfishing on Utah Lake, but I can catch my share (just not any huge ones yet). I wish I had the time to take all of you catfish newbies who want to go after them, but alas I can't. I do find it humerous how different people think their way is the only way to fish for them, and others feel just as strongly about their methods (and the two methods are in conflict) -- the catfish don't mind, they can be caught using multiple methods and with countless baits (one of my most successful baits at Willard, for example, was weiners soaked in vanilla and weiners soaked in vinegar).
