Angler development program Application!
New here and been going through and catching up on all the live streams and wanted to throw my hat i the right for the development program /BFLs or others future programs since I just found out about it .
I have dreamed of chasing fish across the US and getting the experience and opportunity to see new fishery’s , different ways of fishing or approaching water. since the days of biking to my local lake and beating the bank .
One of my personal missions in fishing is to show other anglers with a little work and the willingness to learn and the DIY mentality you don’t always have to use the latest and greatest gear to be competitive and doing it yourself can save you money for the things that are worth the investment .
My passion to chase fish has no season just different approaches and equipment.
Bass fishing is my favorite but I target lots of different species because setting the hook is always fun.
I believe that winners are the best at the fundamentals and are always coachable.
Hard work will beat natural skills in time.
You only fail when you choose to quit.
If you like building stuff repairing your own gear , classic cars and fishing open/ hard water and fatherhood give me a follow to on instagram @Tlex_Aivis

Hey SUF Community!
Thanks, Tim Dodson and Ken Pfeiffer, for kickstarting this! They sent me deep into a rabbit hole regarding the Alabama Rig MLF rules question!! There has to be more than just that question, so I developed an AI chatbot loaded with: - The complete MLF BFL rulebook - Current fishing regulations (PDFs) for all 50 states + DC. You can ask it anything about MLF rules AND check how they align with state regulations where you'll be fishing. It's like having a tournament rulebook expert in your pocket! Try it out here: https://www.bassfishingtips.net/MLFRules.html Note: I've put a $15 credit on this bot, so it'll be available for a limited time. Get your questions in while you can! Let me know if you find it helpful and if my sleepless night rabbit hole was worth it.
Good morning SUF family. How’s your local lake looking? A few days ago she still had tons of open water, today they will be ice fishing.
Thanks for the hoodie, B-Lat! It made right on my birthday 💪🏻
Good grief my unlucky timing. Boat getting serviced and now my truck transmission is broken. It’s going to be an interesting couple of weeks leading into season opener.
What prop is everyone running. I currently have a fury but I’m thinking of switching to a 4 blade prop.
Potholes when it’s drawn down. They ride side by sides and four wheelers out here when the waters low
Does anyone know the rules on using the Alabama rig in MLF tournaments? I can't find it and thought I heard it was an illegal tournament rig.
This is a aerial I found on the internet about Potholes Reservoir in Washington State. This is crazy interesting to me
Read this... The PNW is such a interesting place to study the fishing culture. Read this
The Potholes Reservoir is part of the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project. It is formed by the O'Sullivan Dam and located in central Washington, in the United States. The reservoir is fed by water from Moses Lake, part of the Crab Creek basin.
The area features several lakes (typically 30-70 yards wide and 10–30 feet deep). These lakes, known as "potholes" were created through both natural and man made processes. The potholes were initially carved out during the Pleistocene by flood waters originating from Glacial Lake Missoula.[3] Subsequent damming of the area by the Columbia Basin Project raised the water table high enough to allow these topographical depressions to become lakes.
