Cat Chat 2021

[SkunkedAgain]

So.... let  it begin, even if it is in a snow storm. Good times are coming.

I just did a quick and rough tally of the participants in the contest this year. Aaaa...  it ain't looking good for you northern catters. It's early, but so far I'm seeing about 24 southern catters to only 7 or 8  northern catters?? Granted, the north has John, Paul, Jeff, and a couple other big-timers but we in the south have got the numbers to do another flogging this year. You northern guys need to do some heavy recruiting if you plan to be competitive.

Best part of my early count is that we have a good contingent of lady catters. This is good as it tends to lend a bit of class to what is otherwise a pretty course, smelly, and sometimes downright gross bunch of fishers. Good to welcome Jim's Julie back; Violet (not yet entered), Tin Can's Mate, AscendingCats "prettier half", Cookie of the Cowboy crowd, and Mike has a young lady to show him how it's done. Others??

I think the best three fish score we have had in the past is 96.50 inches. This will be the year someone (probably a guy in a smelly old Tracker boat) will breaks the 100 inch mark. It can be done!

The challenge is on!! Best of luck to all.

Lynn, I just found a placard for your trophy... Can I send that to you so you can get it on the trophy?  Sorry I forgot i hadn't gotten that to you... Will you PM me your mailing address and I'll get this sent to you?  Thanks a bunch... After all the champion needs to have his current accomplishments on the trophy while he has it...  96.5" is pretty tough to beat, but we'll probably see it done the way things keep getting bigger and better... Best of luck to you on Mr 36"...  Later Jeff

Hey Jeff, if a Flotilla is decided on, shouldn't it be at Willard this year ?   Last flotilla we had was at Lincoln Beach (2019) and last year's would have been at WB except covid shut everything down.

I think it was the year for the north if we alternate, however, I don't know whether it is a good idea to have it this soon, unless things change a bunch by May... I guess we still need to run it and watch it and see how things open up... Got my first shot scheduled in two weeks, so sometime in May I guess I'll be cleared to take the mask off, hope things improve to where we can get back together, I've missed those fun times... Let's try to do it, if we can responsibly...  More later Jeff
