NEW RULE..

We are going to follow the State of Alabama's New Boater Ed certificate mandates. To be eligible to fish any of our division events, you must have a Boaters Ed certification or be grandfathered by the State of Alabama's requirements. 2 of 6 of our events are either held in Alabama waters, or you could legally fish in Alabama waters. You will need to provide proof of boater ed certification before you will be allowed to fish in one of our division's events, or proof of being grandfathered in. You can have your boater's ed certification from your home state. That would cover you in the state of Alabama.

2025 Eligibility Change

North Mississippi & West Tennessee 2025 Eligibility Change

Licensed Professional Guides (fresh water) who hold a special license and have provided bass fishing guide services on the upcoming tournament waters in the previous 4 weeks, before the tournament, may not fish the tournament. A Guide may guide for bass on other lakes prior to the tournament, but guiding for bass on the upcoming tournament waters within the 4 weeks of the tournament will exclude the guide from entering and fishing the tournament. Additionally, Licensed Professional Guides, with a Fishers of Men Annual Membership (2025), may not provide information to Tournament Anglers competing in any North MS & West TN division tournament during the same 4-week pre-tournament time frame.

Hiring of Bass Guides (licensed or not licensed) will not be allowed for the same previous 4-week period as above on the tournament lake of the next event.

Example:

If we had an upcoming tournament at Pickwick for Feb1st. The last day you could bass fish with a guide or be a guide for bass fishing would have been Friday Jan 3^rd.

We are excited that this new rule change will keep the playing field level to accommodate the amateur anglers in our fishing family.  Please share this with all your angler friends and family.

 

"We are so much more than a check at a boat ramp!"

This will be an " OFF LIMITS With Practice Division."

The tournament waters shall be off limits from 12:01am the Monday preceding the tournament until safe light on Friday morning. Friday will be an official practice day. The tournament waters will be off limits again from 5:30 pm Friday until blast-off. TEAMS MAY NOT WILLFULLY RECEIVE INFORMATION FROM ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN ON THE TOURNAMENT WATERS DURING THE OFF-LIMITS PERIOD. Teams may not have the assistance of any non-competitor for the purpose of locating or catching fish on the official practice day or the competition day. (See exception for legal substitute in Rule 16) Any competitor found guilty of violating the off limits period will have their catch disqualified and face a disciplinary hearing before being allowed to fish any more on the Trail. If either of the team members is in violation of the off limits rule, both members of that team will be disqualified unless pre-approved as described below.
