EP. 62 On the Pontoon, Makin' Waves and Catchin' Rays...And Fish!

Posted by Angie Scott · June 04, 2019

I recently had the opportunity to fish the 3rd Annual TJ Martell Foundation's 3 Legends Cast for a Cure Celebrity Big Bass Open on Old Hickory Lake just outside of Nashville, TN. There were some big names in this tournament including country music star Chris Young and of course the 3 Legends: Bill Dance, Jimmy Houston, and Roland Martin. What a fun event! I had the opportunity to meet Bill Dance and Jimmy Houston at the VIP reception the night before the tournament. I can take that off my bucket list!

In this week's episode, I recount my experience fishing this tournament out of my Qwest Edge pontoon. I also sit down with Terry Glover, Regional Sales Manager for Qwest to talk about the full lineup including the Angler Qwest...a pontoon specifically designed for the hardcore angler. They offer a perfect solution for the mom out there that wants to get her family out fishing but might be a little intimidated running a traditional fishing boat.

EP. 61 Women Making History at the Governor's Fishing Opener

Posted by Angie Scott · May 28, 2019

In Wisconsin, the official start of the fishing season is the first weekend in May. Every year for the last 54 years, the fishing opener was celebrated with the “Governor's Open” which is a weekend media event to showcase Wisconsin’s valuable fishing industry. Fishing is big business for WI and the economic impact of this industry is huge.

The Governors Open event is by invitation only and is primarily a media event with a variety of outdoor communicators in attendance. The event is produced by the Indianhead Country tourism and is always held in the NW part of the state. I decided that this would be a great event to attend and bring The Woman Angler and Adventurer podcast to cover the festivities. After several phone calls, emails, and general inquiries, I managed to get an invitation to this years event, which was held in Rusk County, WI on the Dairyland Flowage.

Imagine a place where a plethora of trophy-sized bass reside in mineral-rich waters and are in a state of gorging year-round.

Welcome to Bienville Plantation located in the Sunshine State of Florida. Welcome to the home "office" of our guest on this week's The Woman Angler & Adventurer, Katie Jackson!

EP. 57 Talking Fishing Backstage at the Grand Ole Opry with Country Music Star Terri Clark

Posted by Angie Scott · April 30, 2019

It was a busy Friday night at the Grand Ole Opry for country music star Terri Clark. She was hosting the 7:30 segment of the show which included performing two songs of her own. Guests on her portion of the evening's entertainment included bluegrass comedian Mike Snider and country legend John Conlee. (To the audience's amusement, they discovered Clark can do a pretty darn good John Conlee "Rose Colored Glasses" impersonation!)

On top of all of that, Clark hosts her own radio show called Country Gold which includes interviews she does with stars backstage at the Grand Ole Opry. She happened to have one of these interviews to do that evening with industry icon Vince Gill.
