Alright everyone, tomorrow will be the last day to prefish for NTXKC - Grapevine. The boundaries for this event is open from the main lake body to the rivers that run into it as long as you don't have to portage to get to the rivers. All public launch points are located on the TPWD site. You can also launch at any public launch without a ramp. This is a kayak fishing tournament so most of the parks have allowed us to launch without the use of the ramps in the past, when the ramps were closed due to flooding. Be mindful of where you plan on launching because some of those parks will not be opening til 8am. Also pay attention to where you will be parking as for most areas charge launch fees for trailers. For tournament day on Saturday, we will be holding the captain's meeting in the bass pro parking lot. The rain looks to be holding out, but we will all still have to battle the wind. Nathan Debord and others have caught some absolute tanks pre-fishing, so I'm pumped see everyone Saturday!!!

Okay, thanks for everyone that showed up to NTXKC Fairfield!!! We had a record amount of anglers this year at 89!!! There was a total of 260 fish caught!!! Wohoo!!! Sorry everything took so long and yes, service was horrible. I have cleaned up the standings and placed all ties accordingly. I-angler does a horrible job with ties.. so I gave the person with the biggest fish in the stringer the higher placing. For those that only caught 1 fish and tied, I placed them according to the time caught.

HUGE thanks  to all of our sponsors!!!!

Last update before NTXKC Fairfield!

Everyone please note, I have left registration open til the end of today. I had it in the rules that it ended on Thursday so that I could have all the registrations accounted for early since this is the first year I am running this by myself. If it doesn't get too crazy on Saturday I will change the rules back to Friday as a late registration for the rest of the year. Also note that cell service is horrible on Lake Fairfield. The only service that seems to have the best reception out there is Verizon. For this reason, I have purchased 2 Verizon Mobile Hotspots for us to use. Hopefully this will help to speed up the process. We will have NTXKC hats and shirts for sale at this event. See everyone at Fairfield!!!

Everyone sitting at home today waiting in anticipation for NTXKC Fairfield... All participants, make sure you have I-Angler Tournament downloaded. Get familiar with the app. You can do test submissions, and I will clear everything out before the tournament starts. Here is a video to help you with using I-angler : https://youtu.be/nxjay_309Xo

Please note, there has been a rule change. We are changing our catches to a mouth closed rule to comply with the KBF rules and State catch regulations. All fish pictures submitted will have to have their mouths closed. There will be a 1/4" deduction for all fish with their mouths open. I know some fish you will not be able to get their mouths fully closed. Also with this mouth closed rule, you will have to remove the hook/jig/lure from the fishing mouth. If you are fishing with a Clear Fork Custom Jig, please take your pic with the jig in it's mouth first before you remove it for submittal through I-Angler.

Also note this is the last day to pre-fish Lake Fairfield. The 48hr ban on pre-fishing will commence at 5am on Thursday morning. IF any angler competing in this weekend's tournament gets caught and reported, said angler will be disqualified from the event and their entry fee will be forfeited.

Okay, now you guys are just spoiled... We are very proud to announce Diablo Paddlesports as a new sponsor for the NTXKC!!! They will be donating a Diablo Amigo (not sure what color yet) as a prize for the "Classic".  This is one of hottest and most stable kayaks around, made here in TEXAS!!! You guys sure are spoiled.... 

Just signed AllstarAuto back as a sponsor this year!!!

Man I can not say enough about the Awesome response we are getting from sponsors!!! We would like to welcome back AllStarAutoSalon and RimSpec as sponsors for our trail again this year!!! My buddy Timmy Kiv has agreed to the same sponsorship level as last year and will donate $500 to AOY. That brings our total Sponsorship donations to $3000 for this years AOY!!!! Wohoo!!!!
