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.
