Hey all you catfish fanatics Forest suggested we get a news post fixed up top for this years contest and I think it's a great idea... So this post will be open for all of your catfish contest related comments, gear tips, techniques, conditions reports and general good natured ribbing of fellow contestants...
I know there has been some interest on when the 2021 Catfish Contest will begin, so here is a date for you to plan on, March 15th, 2021 will be our official start to the contest, that is only about a month out, so it's time to get started planning your strategy for this year... We will plan on the same contest rules this year, except we have filled up the little cat trophy with winner plaques so I propose that we discontinue that contest and let our final year (2020) winner retain that trophy... Let me know your thoughts on that? (Interest in that part of the contest isn't what it once was)
However, interest in the contest seems to be at an all time high, last year we had the most people ever to break the 90 point level averaging 3 fish at 30"... I'm excited to see what this year will do... Seemed like a lot of big fish in Utah lake last year, be interesting to see if all those 28" fish that were caught turn into a ton of 30" plus fish this year down south... The north seemed a little short of big fish last year, so it will be tough for team north to fend off a southern repeat this year... Not to mention that team north seems to be less than half the size of the southern army... What will happen????
I'm interested in trying some new things this year and hope to discuss some of those ideas here and see what you think.. But for now I'll end this post, feel free to contribute and comment... Thanks Jeff
