Off The Clock with B Scott – Details, episodes & analysis

Send a text

Most boats don’t struggle because the driver lacks courage; they struggle because the jack plate is fighting pressurized water. We pull back the curtain on the NEW H22 jack plate and its 22-degree underside that lets spray clear the plate, cuts drag, and frees the prop to do real work. From the first throttle hit to big-end speed, we explain how a small change under the transom fixes the noisy problems—rooster tails, bow lag, and over-trim—that owners spend months trying to tune away.

We break down the tradeoffs that matter: setback versus leverage, plate mass versus hole shot, and why built-in height beats chasing engine bolt holes. You’ll hear how we tested across aluminum and fiberglass hulls, what “running on the hull” actually means, and why efficiency improves when the boat lifts on its deadrise instead of tilting into dirty water. We also get practical about rigs that carry real gear: trolling motors, power poles, big graphs, and the switch from AGM to lithium. The H22 and the HB22 breakaway use optimized weight and optional counterweights so you can fine-tune balance for fishing weekends, duck seasons, or sandbar cruises without re-rigging your life.

If you’ve thrown wedges and props at a stubborn setup, this conversation shows a cleaner path: fix the water, place the weight, and let the hull breathe. We talk battery placement, a new belly tank that frees stern space, and how moving a few pounds at the transom can out-muscle 80 pounds up front. The payoff is speed you can feel, steering that calms down, and stability that holds when the water turns to glass or chop. Ready to make your boat faster and easier to drive without adding horsepower? Hit play, then share your rig details with us so we can help you dial it in.

The Wreakin' Havoc Outdoors crew recounts their recent hunting trip to Canada where they experienced incredible duck and goose hunting with limits filled in record time, facing unexpected challenges along the way.

• Hunting in Canada produced massive numbers of ducks and geese compared to hunting in Arkansas
• Unexpectedly fierce mosquitoes required special "Jungle Juice" repellent that felt like oil when applied
• First evening resulted in filling limits of 70+ birds in just 23 minutes
• Travel issues included sleeping in airports, rental car problems, and lost luggage
• Hunting pressure in Canada was virtually non-existent compared to the war zone of Arkansas during season
• The group had shooting struggles initially but improved dramatically by the final day
• Discussions about upcoming deer season and potential friendly competition for biggest buck
• Conversations about bow equipment led to spirited debate between Matthews and Hoyt users
• Planning to drive rather than fly for next year's Canada trip to avoid travel complications

Want to see more mature bucks during daylight hours this season? Clifton Denny from On Your Own Outdoors reveals game-changing tactics that fly in the face of conventional deer hunting wisdom.

The most eye-opening revelation? Mature bucks aren't actually "going nocturnal" - they're simply responding to patterns hunters unknowingly establish. Clifton explains how the common practice of filling feeders after work at 5-6pm is precisely why your target buck only appears on camera at night. By shifting your feeding schedule to 10pm and changing your bait type right before hunting, you create the perfect scenario for daylight encounters.

The conversation unveils the power of "fat lines" - those mysterious thicker contour lines on topographical maps that consistently mark high deer activity zones. What started as a theory has been field-tested with remarkable success, with hunters reporting mature buck sightings exactly where these terrain features appear on maps. Clifton's comprehensive breakdown of this approach gives listeners a significant advantage for early season success.

Beyond technical strategies, the episode dives into fascinating observations about deer behavior during velvet-shedding period, bachelor group dispersal, and critical early-season food sources like persimmon and honey locust trees. The discussion even addresses regional hunting differences, with practical advice for Arkansas hunters looking to adapt their skills to different terrains.

Whether you're a weekend warrior or a dedicated trophy hunter, these practical, field-tested approaches will transform your early season strategy. After implementing these tactics, you'll never look at your hunting property - or your trail camera results - the same way again.

Have you ever wondered why you can hit a bullseye one day and miss the target entirely the next? In this eye-opening conversation with Neil Hignight of 501 Archery in Hot Springs, we dive deep into the psychological aspects of archery that even experienced shooters struggle to master.

Neil's journey from barbershop owner to professional bow technician began after a neck injury forced him to reconsider his career path. What started as casual help at a local bow shop evolved into a full-time passion for helping others improve their archery skills. "I love to serve people," Neil explains. "I want to see somebody needing help because I want to help them—and it's not for my own gratification."

The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Neil reveals the concept of "target panic"—a psychological phenomenon affecting virtually all archers. With remarkable clarity, he explains how modern technology has paradoxically made some aspects of archery more challenging by disconnecting shooters from fundamental techniques. "We've forgotten the fundamentals," Neil says. "Technology's got so advanced... everybody's shooting their bow instead of letting their bow shoot."

Beyond equipment talk, Neil shares invaluable insights about the mental discipline required for archery success. His passion for teaching through the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) demonstrates how archery builds confidence and self-reliance in young people—qualities increasingly important in our technology-dominated world.

Whether you're a seasoned bow hunter or just curious about the sport, Neil's practical wisdom will transform how you think about archery. His memorable advice to "let your bow shoot instead of trying to shoot your bow" might just be the key to breaking through your performance plateau. Ready to overcome your target panic? Listen now and discover the mental game that separates good archers from great ones.

Fall is in the air, and the Havoc Boys can barely contain their excitement as hunting season approaches. In this laid-back conversation, Jake, Shocklee, Darryl, Dad, and the team share their upcoming adventures and recent experiences that mark the transition from summer fishing to fall hunting.

Fresh off a successful event at Riley Green's bar in Nashville where they gave away one of the first Mud Buddy (not even publicly released until late September!) on a Havoc 1756, the guys break down what made the event special. The lucky winner overcame multiple vehicle breakdowns just to attend – a testament to determination that was rewarded with a cutting-edge watercraft featuring Mud Buddy's redesigned tiller handle. The team offers a detailed breakdown of the innovative improvements, including the repositioned key that prevents damage from limbs and the adjustable positioning that makes long days on the water more comfortable.

The conversation shifts to their packed hunting calendar: a Canada duck hunt on opening day, followed immediately by an Arkansas velvet deer hunt, then Louisiana alligator expeditions with Jay Paul of The Swamp People. The rapid-fire succession of hunts leaves little room for preparation, prompting honest discussions about bow practice (or lack thereof) and the anxious anticipation of those first hunts of the season.

Perhaps most fascinating is the deep dive into hunting methods, particularly the debate between traditional tree climbers and the increasingly popular saddle hunting approach. The team dissects the advantages of each system, with the saddle hunters explaining how their carbon fiber sticks and lightweight platforms allow them to hunt virtually any tree – a game-changer in places with crooked timber. Their detailed explanations of safety systems and hunting setups provide valuable insights for anyone considering making the switch.

Subscribe to catch all our upcoming hunting adventures, from Canada's early-season ducks to Louisiana's monster alligators, and everything in between. We'll be documenting it all!

The Off the Clock team dives deep into the science of boat setup, weight distribution, and finding the perfect balance point for optimal performance on the water. From jack plate selection to proper trailer setup, this episode tackles the physics behind what makes boats run efficiently and how to fix common performance issues.

• Finding your boat's balance point is crucial for optimal performance and speed
• For every inch of setback added, you need to raise your motor approximately a quarter inch
• The weight behind the transom is often more important than the inches of setback
• Rather than focusing solely on prop selection, ensure proper boat balance first
• Properly adjusted trailers are essential to prevent structural damage and improve boat longevity
• Porpoising (bouncing) when trimming up indicates weight distribution issues
• Four-stroke motors typically need different setup considerations than two-strokes
• Consider your full loaded hunting weight rather than empty boat performance
• Trailer bunks should properly support the hull's running surface without stressing the chines
• Proper tongue weight (70-80 pounds) helps maintain trailer stability during towing
