I would like to announce our second cleanup session at Lincoln Beach. In conjunction we will be holding our Second Annual South Team Catfish Blitz. All BFT members are encouraged to attend the cleanup but those on the North team will not be allowed to fish. If there are any questions about the rules, please contact BLK. He will be as even and fair as he was for the Flotilla contest.
The date is June 22, 2019. If the weather should be bad we will postpone until June 29, but the forecast is good as of today.
More details will be forthcoming. Any ideas/suggestions/questions may be posted here or send me a PM.
We need as many South Team members to join us as we attempt to wipe out the North lead all in one day. If everyone catches a 30"er...

Kinda harsh to not even let the north team fish. Long drive to pick up trash and not even get to fish the lake you've driven to. Sounds like a good way to discourage people from helping. Just my perspective reading your post.

Sorry Craig but you have caused this old Southern boy a bit of anguish. I would like the Northern boys to be part of the event. If they want too! All the big fish and the contest score don’t mean squat to me if we are going to exclude anyone. Nuff said. Tight Lines.

Oh my gosh yes! I was only kidding. We in the contest enjoy ribbing and razzing each other and that was exactly what I was doing. I should have included a
emoticon so everyone would know it was in jest. I thought that it was obvious that I have no power to tell people where they may fish. We love seeing our northern neighbors and fishing with them. If you ever read something that sounds "off" from me there's a 99.999999999999999999999999% chance I'm being ironic or facetious. Sorry to anyone I offended or worried.

Sorry Ben. I thought that anyone who came to the Flotilla would know that BLK made up some fun and silly rules like those from the north having to have their catches verified by a Notary Public. I miscalculated and I'm sorry. But you did get me on the thing about the hybrid bulhead/channel cats a while back. Took me several days to realize you were pulling our legs. Can we still be friends?[

No problem Craig. As far as pulling your leg about the hybrids I wasn’t kidding. Seen them at the Hatchery.

Sounds like fun, hey last night I caught up on an In Depths Outdoors and they were fishing for catfish. Pretty good show and big cats. I think it was a couple weeks old but that’s about as close to fishing as I’ve gotten in the last month. Cutting my last field tonight I hope, but no openings for fishing for awhile. Tried some Hush puppies the other day and they sure weren’t as good as yours. You are the master chef. Good luck and sorry I can’t make the next gathering. Later Jeff
