Grove, OK – Seems like yesterday we were finishing up the 2013 season on Grand Lake. My how time flies when you are having fun; or like me, are getting old. I guess time is flying because I am getting old. It’s certainly not due to me having fun catching fish, I can assure you that! I’ve fished a total of 5 days on Grand Lake and have yet to have a bite. Most of the people I’ve talked to have experienced the same thing: No bites. Continue reading Grand Lake – March 9, 2014

Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time, otherwise known as when we “Spring Forward,” begins this Sunday March 9th. Be sure to make the changes Saturday night so that you don’t show up an hour late for take off on Sunday morning!
XFL take off procedure explained
1) You may launch from the ramp of your choice, but you must go through boat check at the official launch site and wait for take-off. Boat check will always be at the take-off/weigh-in site. Live well checks will be done both at the ramp(s), and on the water at the pontoon boat (you only have to go through one or the other, not both). If the official launch site has more than one ramp, please try to use all of them.
2) Trailering is not allowed (except in the case of bad weather, and it will always be announced prior to take-off). You may trailer to weigh your fish if you launched from the official launch/weigh-in site. This is always recommended due to crowded conditions on the water.

Team names and information
We make every effort to get the team names correct on the web site, and occasionally will screw one up. If you see a mistake in spelling, email me at: info@fishxfl.com and let me know.
FYI…We are only as good as your hand writing! Please print all of the information so that it is legible, and remember, if we do not have the team captains social security number on file, you will not be allowed to fish the event.
As always, fell free to call me with any concerns.
Team ID Numbers
Note that we do not carry over team ID numbers from year to year. As you enter each year, the computer assigns you a team ID number based on when your entry is keyed into the system. If you check the verification page, you will see your updated team ID number for 2014. Be sure to use this new Team ID number when you sign up for the Text Message Notify service. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to call.

As we start a new year, I wanted to remind each of you that you must re-register for each of the Bonus programs, as they do not carry over from year to year. All Customer Appreciation bonus program members must register their boats to be eligible for the $5000 Bonus money.
