Females In Fisheries Scholarship Application Deadline May 1 |
|
Applications are being accepted until May 1 for the 2022 Noreen Clough Memorial Scholarship for Females in Fisheries. The two scholarships will honor female graduate students with a demonstrated commitment to pursuing a career in fishery management and conservation. The women selected will best reflect Noreen’s passion and commitment to the profession and to the sport of fishing. This will be the sixth year that the American Fisheries Society Black Bass Conservation Committee and B.A.S.S. have awarded the scholarships. In 2021 the honors went to AnaSara Gillem, of Andalusia, Ala., a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, and Shaley Valentine, of Hudsonville, Mich., a doctoral student at Southern Illinois University.
Clough blazed many trails in the field of fisheries. As the first female regional director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and later as the B.A.S.S. Conservation Director, her long and distinguished career was dedicated to the conservation and management of fish and wildlife. Clough passed away in January 2015 from pancreatic cancer. As a tribute to her, friends and colleagues established an endowment to provide a scholarship for female students working toward a career in fisheries conservation.

Bass Pro Tour professional Jeremy Lawyer likes adding a little extra gas to his Zoom soft plastics with BaitFuel. BaitFuel was developed in a lab and proven on the water, BaitFuel Gel is designed to keep fish biting cast after cast. Engineered by a pair of scientists with more than 30 years of experience leading a Fisheries Research Biology lab, Baitfuel is a combination of natural compounds found in the prey of most predatory fish to convince the bass in your lake that they are munching on “real food.” It relies on a water-based formula that instantly dissolves in water and more easily mimics natural forage.
BaitFuel Gel is the next generation of scent technology that capitalizes on Fish Active Scent Technology (FAST) to stimulate a bass’s predatory instincts. Not only does this advanced scent encourage fish to bite, but it also helps bass to locate your bait and widens your strike zone by secreting a potent scent cloud around your lure. Lawyer is a big believer in the product, and has seen the effectiveness during high pressure situations. "It’s not a guaranteed deal every cast but I’ve seen it work enough to know on game day it will get me a handful of extra bites. In my mind that’s more than enough proof for it to be a must have in my arsenal!" said Lawyer.

AFTCO Adds New Bass Bus Live Release Boat |
|
AFTCO is excited to announce a new addition to their Bass Bus Live Release Boat program. The first Bass Bus was splashed in October of 2019 at Lake Dardanelle during the first-ever AFTCO Collegiate Open. The event was the perfect platform to showcase AFTCO's Conservation First tournaments as today's collegiate anglers are quickly embracing and driving forward the conservation efforts of tomorrow. As a result, the Bass Bus experienced a 100% survival rate with zero fish mortality. As the centerpieces of AFTCO's Conservation First program, both Bass Bus live release boats will be positioned at key tournaments around the United States to help ensure the healthy release of thousands of bass in key fisheries across the country. The Bass Bus boats will be operated by Kelly Power's experienced release boat technicians at Ulrich Marine, and will be on the road over 150 days in 2022.
