I will be sending more
information this week. I
have attached a list of our
anglers in First Name Order
with Boaters on page 1 and
Co-Anglers on page 2.
Today's Topic is FLW/MLF
Membership.
1. MLF bought FLW so you all
are MLF members via your TBF
dues.
2. Your dues pay for
subscriber level
membership.
3. By fishing the National
Semi Finals you actually
have a chance of fishing
Nationals in 2022 and a
select once there a one
chance in five to advance to
the MLF/BFL All American.
4. In order to fish the All
American, MLF requires you
to be a Competitor Level
Member prior to fishing the
National Semi Finals this
year at Tenmile Lake..
5. You can get a discount
for the upgrade by calling
the following number at MLF.
Tell them that you are a TBF
Member (attached list
provides your TBF number and
FLW/MLF number) and that you
want to upgrade to
Competitor level
membership. Call MLF at
270-252-1000. The cost will
be $48.50
6. Remember this is only
needed if you want a chance
to fish the All American.
You can fish the National
Semi Finals and Nationals
with the Subscriber
membership because these are
TBF events.
7. This is a new rule that
was implemented in 2020 when
MLF bought FLW.
8. If you have questions,
please give me a call and I
will be happy to tell you
what I think of this.
Remember, this rule is not a
TBF rule. TBF has held our
dues to the same level for
many years and has no desire
to raise dues. However the
All American is a MLF
event. Their event, their
rules. The MLF Competitor
attachment provides a few
more details.
I will be sending more
information later this
week. We have 41 paid up
boaters and 41 paid up
C0-Anglers which means we
will be able to send two
