Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Champions’ Blueprint: Charlie Bunting & Craig Nichols Break Down Crappie Mastery
Q: How has LiveScope changed the approach to tournament fishing and boat control?
They explain that LiveScope requires precise cone positioning, accurate target identification, and better boat control; anglers must avoid dropping on every fish and instead read the bottom to target the right size of crappie, with a focus on the biggest fish.
The Champions’ Blueprint: Charlie Bunting & Craig Nichols Break Down Crappie Mastery
Q: What sparked the evolution of electronics from traditional trolling and 2D sonar to modern LiveScope and mapping technologies?
Craig and Charlie describe starting with basic sonar, then side-imaging, 360 mapping, and Lake Master charts, which progressively allowed anglers to locate structure like brush piles and stump beds more efficiently, ultimately changing tournament strategy.
Livescopin with Lamar Bunting: Crappie Masters Elite series Pro
Q: What are the most important techniques once LiveScope is dialed in for finding bigger fish or covering water?
Use a windshield-wiper scanning motion with the trolling motor to search wide areas, identify stationary vs. roaming crappie, and size up signatures by comparing to fish you've previously caught. Move from finding fish at longer ranges to precise, vertical presentations, and downsize bait profiles in hot weather to trigger bites from finicky fish.
Livescopin with Lamar Bunting: Crappie Masters Elite series Pro
Q: What was the transition like from spider rigging to LiveScope, and what are the best practices for a beginner?
The shift involved learning the technology, practicing boat control, and gradually moving from a multi-pole setup to a single-pole LiveScope approach. Beginners are advised to maximize boat control, start with a pole-mounted setup, learn target appearance, and progressively apply LiveScope from fixed targets to trolling motor-based presentations, while using a secondary unit for maps to stay oriented.
Livescopin with Lamar Bunting: Crappie Masters Elite series Pro
Q: Can you introduce yourself and describe your guide service and career path?
Lamar describes growing up around Conway, Arkansas, learning crappie fishing with family, and building a guiding and tournament career through Crappie Masters, local clubs, and a transition from spider rigging to LiveScope. He emphasizes passion for crappie, local lakes, and the evolution of his team dynamics and tournament strategy over the years.
