JBOB81 is in!! I live in Saratoga Springs. Does that make me a North or South guy?
You live right in the heart of team south land… I assume you will fish Utah lake and the Jordon river? If so team south is for you… If you fish the Bear River and Willard and points north, then the north might be your preference… But I’ll let you tell me which you perfer… Good luck… Jeff
Yes the majority of my fishing for cats is in Utah Lake so team south it is. Thanks
jbob81, I got you added to sheet for South. Good luck. Any relation to dubob ? :-/
Looks like with all the restrictions, I’ll be fishing Utah Lake more this year than in years past, so sign me up for Team South. Also, where do I get the needed materials, banner for pics, etc to enter a catch ?? Please let me know !!
Yeah I am a late entry for the south. As UL is the only water I can currently fish, and Catchinon has invited me to go tomorrow (separate boats) might as well be entered. Thanks Jeff.
Hi I’d like to sign up for this 2020 Catfish Contest but couldn’t find any instructions to sign up or rules of participating. Can someone clue me in? It’s been a couple of years since I’ve fished for big cats on Utah Lake. And I sold my 19" Bayliner about 3 years ago and havent’ purchased another boat yet. Then last summer I lost my favorite fishing partner and I’ve been grieving since. But good news: my grandson called me on Monday and asked me to go fishing with him at the Farmingto Ponds. I was so excited. We went and the pond was so crownded. What can ya expect for a Holiday? But the anglers to our north and the rectreaters to our right were all following State guidelines and we kept our distance from each other, which ya do anywhay when out fishing from a shoreline. Gotta give each angle their own spot and room enought to fish withour being on top of each other. I was just thrilled to bbe fishing and this little grandson of mine who’s 12 is actually quite good. We took him fishing since the age of 3 so he’s learned a lot since then. And I’m happy to say fish were causght while we were there. The anglers just north of us on the East side of the ponds were pulling them in like clockwork. They caught their limit and another group of fishermen left of our neighbors caught their limit as well, so our neigbors took sympathy on us and gave us 2 fish to keep and smoke up that night at our Family BBQ. First get together for me since Covid-19 reared its ugly contaious face. Although we came away with fish, we were skunked and I figured the Fishing Gods were just letting me pay some dues… thought I’d paid plenty of dues over the years cause I too started fishing with my Dad when I was 3. Anyway, I don’t want to be here writing a book but its been about 4-5 years since I’ve visited BFT and had a lot to say! SO…can anyone guide me to the sign up page for the Catfish Contest and also ro the rules? AND, one last thing…does anyone need a fishing partner or would be willing to go fishing with me somewhrere local, like UT Lake? I’m willing to tale a chance on going with a fellow BFT member cause I definitey don’t want to end up like the recent girls who were murdered. I’d like to go with more than one person for my second time out in 3 years, if that’s possible.
I’m glad to be back “HOME” Let’s go catch us some monster cats! Anyone game to help this AngliinAngel out? Reply here or send me a PM. I gotta yell FISHON!!,
Agreed, at this point, moisture in any form would be great, sure hope we have a wet Spring and Summer.
Here is a link to our snowpack totals. The snowpack for the Ogden/Weber drainage was 81% before this last increase in temps, look how much it decreased in less than a week:
Ranchers and farmers are really really hurting. I have friends who may not recover. It’s as bad here as I can remember. Sure could use a wonderful wet spring and a good monsoon season this summer.
Yup planted short season grain this year because they cut our water in half last year in July, I hope we make it that long this year before the reductions start… later J
