Cat Chat

[SkunkedAgain]

I got a question, so do I need to have your measuring stick I'm using for the contest certified?? I saw in some other threds people talking about getting their bump boards certified?

Commercially available devices like tape measures and yard sticks are considered approved, but if you use stuff that is self printed we need to see a picture of the device with a commercial tape measure lined up along the side so we can verify that the dimensions are true...  If you build a bump board and have commercial measurement items on that bump board it will be approved...as long as the ends line up with the bump portion of the board...   I really like bump boards, they make my job so much easier to score fish... Hope this helps... Jeff

Anybody catch cats at Hyrum, I see them listed as a "species" in the lake

Alan, a couple years back someone found a dead cat on the beach up there at Hyrum, was easily over 30"... So yes there are cats in there, but I don't know of anyone really fishing for cats out of Hyrum... Probably not high numbers in there, but if you can figure them out, you may be on to the new trophy pond for them...  I haven't scored any fish from Hyrum in the past contests, but... I haven't out of Mantua yet either, and  they planted the big ones in there last year or the year before... so we could see some new cat location entries this year...  Just takes figuring them out... Good luck.. Jeff

PS... Funny but I don't see many cats from Willard, and folks catch them there all the time... I do see some, but not a lot...
