[cool][#0000ff]This thread is already a long one. Lets start a new one, headed BFT CATFISH FEST...or something similar. Post the date, hours, festivities and a list of specific items or help you will need others to provide...kinda like Pikeman did with the Perchathon.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I will make it a sticky post so that it stays at the top. Others can respond, but try to encourage them to send you a PM with confirmation they will be there or telling you what they will contribute. You can keep a list and update the main post by editing...or I can help if you need it.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]It has been suggested that April 12 might be a bit early for cats. There is no doubt that they will be biting...if the weather is decent. But, the potential for cold and snow is still with us for awhile yet.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]My thoughts are to go ahead and go for it. The get together will be good, even if the fishing isn't. And, there is no rule that says we cannot have others...even as often as every month through the warmer months...and at different places...like Willard.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I will volunteer to do the filleting and the cooking. I have a portable fillet station in case the fish cleaning facilities at Lincoln Beach are not open yet. It is usually after April 1 when they open. I will also bring my deep fryer and propane tank and my "Kitty Krispies" fixins to crank out a bunch of fried fish. Others can donate other species if they want. I will probably bring some fillets...just in case. And somebody else can bring hot dogs...just in case somebody doesn't like fish (un-American).[/#0000ff]
