XFL – Extreme Fishing League

Eufaula, OK – The XFL – Extreme Fishing League presented by Skeeter Boats held its second event on sprawling, wind-swept Lake Eufaula on Sunday April 7, 2013.  194 teams entered this event making this the largest draw at Lake Eufaula in over 5 years! The anglers were greeted with decent weather conditions, albeit a bit windy at times, and a lake that had risen almost 3′ in the previous week due to heavy rains and a strong cold front that moved through the area.  The rising water and cold rains which cooled the water temperatures significantly threw the anglers a curve ball.  Many anglers that reported great catches in the week leading up to this event indicated the changing conditions made for very tough fishing.  The tough conditions were evidenced by only 88 (49 limits) teams bringing any fish to the scales.  Continue reading Eufaula Lake, April 7, 2013

Our next event will be this Sunday April 7th at Eufaula. This will also be a Skeeter Demo event, so if you want to get into the drawing for the $1000 bonus money, stop by Peter’s Point (Nichol’s Point) between the hours of 9am and 5pm on Saturday the 6th and take a ride in a 2013 Skeeter boat powered by the Yamaha SHO 250 four stroke.

Again a reminder that we are moving our Eufaula weigh-in’s to Peter’s Point this year. We will be doing boat check at both ramps (Peter’s Point and Eufaula Cove) and on the water. If you have not picked up your team ID card yet, you may do so on Saturday or Sunday morning at Peter’s Point.

We will be on site from 9am until 6pm Saturday taking entries…hope to see you all there!

Grove, OK – Hello fellow fishermen, Capt. Rob here.  I want to apologize for my tardiness in getting this report out.  I’ve had a string of bad luck that began on Saturday before the tournament.  Apparently, I set my cell phone on the bumper of my truck Saturday morning and in my haste to do some pre-fishing I forgot about it.  So, if anyone finds an IPhone in a camo case along the road between Adair and Langley they can just keep it.  Secondly, after getting on what we thought was a solid pattern on Saturday we only managed two keepers and opted not to weigh-in. As if that wasn’t enough,  while I was trying to get my replacement phone activated my internet service went out at my house and it took 2 days to get it restored.  The only thing I can say is that it can only get better.  So, enough of my tales of woe. Here is the account of the 2013 Extreme Fishing League presented by Skeeter Boats first tournament of the season held on Grand Lake in Grove, OK.

Remember Daylight Savings time.

Take off time approx 7:00 am.

We have been getting a few calls about the off limits for Sunday’s event:

For this weekend, the back of Wolf Creek will be off limits. We will place flagging tape on both sides of the creek to mark the off limits area. Do not cross the imaginary line while fishing, with your boat, or with your bait.

In the future (not this weekend) the GRDA will have buoys in place that say “No Tournament Fishing”. Due to the GRDA being tied up with an ongoing search for a body, those buoys are not yet in place.

This will be our first time using the new Wolf Creek facility, so wake up Sunday morning, say a prayer that we don’t screw anything up, and show up to have fun!

Be sure while you are in Grove this weekend to support the local store owners. Stonebrook Inn is offering all XFL members a discount on their room rate if you mention XFL when you make your reservations. Also, the Rib Crib in Grove is offering all XFL members a 10% discount on your food order this weekend, simply by telling your waitress that you are a XFL member and fishing our tournament. We will continue to search for these local discounts, and bring them to you as we find them. In the mean time, support these local vendors, they are part of the reason that we anglers were able to get a new tournament facility built on Grand Lake.

Stonebrook Inn in Grove, OK will be the Official housing for all Grand Lake XFL events in 2013. The Stonebrook Inn was chosen due to the location being close to the new tournament facilities at Wolf Creek park, and the owner wanting to offer a discount to all who stay during our events. For more information on the Stonebrook Inn, call (918) 786-9799, or check them out on-line at: www.stonebrookinngrove.com

Greetings fellow fishermen and welcome to the 2013 edition of the Skeeter XFL Tournament Circuit.  If you are like me you are anxious to get on the water and do some serious fishing.  The winter tackle and boat show blitz is over, the BassMaster Classic just finished and all this talk about fishing has really got me excited about fishing.  Unfortunately for me, I was not able to attend any of the BassMaster Classic festivities because Murphy’s Law hit me in the form of an awful upper respiratory infection.  However, I was able to keep up with the action through the power of the internet.  Watching the events unfold on Grand and the drama of the weigh-in was exciting but did nothing to alleviate my misery and made my cabin fever even worse.  Hopefully, modern medicine will work it’s magic and I can return to the living soon. Until then I am relegated to staying home, resting, watching fishing shows on TV and doing my part to increase the share price of Kleenex.  Enough of my whining, lets take a look at the year to come on the Skeeter XFL Tournament Circuit.

Last week while working the Tulsa boat show, I had the opportunity to visit with an old friend, and current Chief of Law Enforcement & Homeland Security for the GRDA, Brian Edwards. Chief Edwards, former Tulsa County Under Sheriff, has made no wake zones one of his top priorities this year, especially on Grand Lake. I asked Chief Edwards to send me the statute that applies to no wake zones…
