Off The Clock with B Scott

Prepare to be hooked as we cast into the heart of Arkansas's bass fishing scene with the state's Black Bass Coordinator, Jeremy Risley, and my dad, Tim Scott. As Jeremy unravels his personal connection to the sport, intertwined with his family heritage and work at the Arkansas Game and Fish, we'll navigate the waters of tradition and technology. From crafting quality boats that weather the waves to the growing tension around LiveScope's influence on the sport, our discussion is a treasure trove for any angler seeking to balance the scales between time-honored techniques and the lure of modern technology.
The line between traditional fishing methods and the modern angler’s toolkit blurs as we tackle the role of LiveScope in fish habitat assessment and data collection. The Arkansas reservoirs become our proving ground, where the efficiency of LiveScope is matched against methods like electrofishing. Join us as we reel in insights from local tournaments, delve into the lakes' management decisions, and weigh in on the findings from studies on LiveScope's impact on crappie fishing. Regulations evolve with the times, and through a blend of storytelling and debate, we examine what this means for the future of fishing in the Natural State.
Finally, we cast our nets into the future with Arkansas's Big Bass Program, aiming to amplify the allure of trophy fish in the state. Taking a page from Texas's ShareLunker's success, we discuss how this initiative could be a game-changer for Arkansas's aquatic environment and local economy. With the same care a farmer tends to their crops, we explore the potential of fish tracking in Millwood, while also contemplating the role of high-tech gear in competitive fishing. So sit back, and let's set sail on an episode that's as much about the catch as it is about the chase.
