Does anyone know the rule on using these new apps like fishlyfe when fishing tournaments? And does anyone use them? Not sure how I feel about them

Depends on whether or not the tournament has a "no info" rule. Most don't.

Knowing where someone else caught fish doesn't necessarily mean that you will. I'm sure that the spots that get shared probably get hammered by a lot of anglers, so I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

You can tell me where they are at and I still cant catch em so IDK

Don’t think you can use any phone info in any tournaments.

I think you’re right. I think it falls into the “social media” class and it’s regulated use , before and during a tourney.

Anyone getting a DQ for using Navionics during a tournament? Its the same thing, people post and share spots on it.

I don't use those sharing apps or advocate their use, but it sure would be hard to enforce a ban on apps. What about a weather app? Or a solunar table app? What would be considered 'phone info'?

Navionics on my phone shows peoples honey holes.....FROM 2014!!! I think that information is safely beyond any 2 week to 30 days limit. Haha.

If you're using apps to fish a tournament. Thank you for donating

This!!!!!!

I wish they could pay me wth venmo

Just my .02.... just because you have the technology doesn’t mean you will catch them...

Here is my take. If you are paying for info on a private forum that can be reasonable assumed to be provided about a lake during off limits, or during the tournament, that is where you have a problem. So, use whatever you want until off-limits, then discontinue until after the tournament. It ultimately comes down to the polygraph and protests. Don't risk it, because it is decidedly not a public forum, and you are paying for information that can be updated by those who are/were on the lake during off-limits.
