Hey everyone I'm trying to make some tentative plans for the big feast.... As of this point I would like to do this thing on 17 November it's a Thursday night... Would 5:30 be too early? If so is 6:00 better? I haven't received any suggested locations so I'm thinking about going to the same spot at Holy Smoke in Layton... Sorry I love their meatloaf sandwiches and love barbequed food... I'll get the manager to make sure they don't take over an hour to serve us this time... They have a room where we can do our own thing without a lot of noise so we can visit and actually hear each other, plus we'll be out of their way as well... If these plans work give me a yes and tell me how many you plan to bring with you so we have enough room to accommodate everyone... We will have everyone buy their own meals and I'll try to line up a BFT discount to help out... Put it on your calendars if there are no major issues that cause us to reschedule this will be the plan... Thanks all... J

Big PS.... This is not just for Catfish Contest participants all BFT'ers are invited to attend and visit with fellow BFT'ers and we may have some goodies to pass out to all in attendance even if it is discounts on gear... Plus who knows TD might even bring some of his gear that he's been known to sell at a very reasonable price... Not that I'm advertising but his gold and orange dot pony jig is what I used at Pineview last week... the crappie loved it.. Thanks Pat... Later J

I'll attend again, J. Not a contest guy, but I do enjoy the get-togethers. Heck, I'll even supply a prize.
Thursday is a good TV night. Wednesday is crappy, though.

I'm in 530 is doable but 6 would work better for me. And ill be bringing one additional with me.

Sorry Rocky about the TV thing, I have conflicts on Tuesday and Wednesday that week so I had to push to Thursday... Can you get a recorder to take care of the shows for you? Hope you can still make it.... It's great to have you there and amazing to learn about the things members like you have done with your lives... If you do have a prize I'd love to add it in with the contest prize package... (I didn't do as good of job this year of lining up prizes early so I'm still working prizes..) Thanks J

Thanks Jaxon,
We will make it 6:00... I figured that would be a better time for all that have to get off work and travel to get there.. but we don't want to get too late for some of the members to drive too late to get home... I'll plan on two of you... Thanks J

Rocky, if the wife isn't sitting the grandson that night she will be with me. After I told her about your comment last month, she said she wanted to meet you [pirate] [sly]

The 17th at 6 is hunky-dory.
Forest, I'd be delighted to meet the lady.

Great thanks Pat, look forward to the visit...Hope you'll bring your candy bling so I can do a restock... thanks J
[signature]
Hey Ahi glad to see you can make it, we'll plan on your party. Thanks J
[signature]
[#0000FF]If we get together next week I can bring along anything you wanna look at. Otherwise, I'd be glad to bring the bling to the dinner like last year. Talking with BLK about putting together a prize pack of 20 or so of my fave jigs for the local area fishing.
Also, talking with Jil about us trying to put together a BFT tackle swap after the first of the year...midway betwixt SLC and the north. We've had a couple down south and they are a good way to meet and greet as well as sell and buy stuff.

I will try, but I can't commit yet because wife is out of town. I'll let you know next week.
While i'm thinking about it, !THANK YOU! for all you efforts on the contest. I didn't get as much fishing time as last year, but it was still fun!

Hey you're most welcome and I've enjoyed it. Sure hope you can make it. Will watch for the reply next week. J

Hey Pat maybe I'll get one of your top 20 local favs pack and give it a try. The swap would be great if we can find interest. Maybe not a bad idea for the banquet too. I need to have you show me the different jig techniques this next trip and see if I can pick up something new. Got a bunch of fish banked up at the marina but can't make em bite so need to try something different. Later J

"Got a bunch of fish banked up at the marina but can't make em bite so need to try something different."
[#0000FF]Check your calendar and the thermometer. Transition time to fall/winter. The fish are not as active and not as likely to smack jigs...especially non-sweetened ones. Tough right now. Maybe try a "Dupont Spinner" (dynamite).[/#0000FF]
