In case you didn't know, summer is officially here.  It's hot outside, the wind and rain is coming and going, the water's warming up, and the fish are biting (well, most of the time, anyway).  With Jeff on OSR in Georgia once again, Capt. Kevin and Capt. Kirk talked it up with Fishing Forecast co-host Capt. Scott Shank.  Of course, the OS faithful checked in to spice things up as they always do!

Thanks for the Kirbyco Builders Inc. cooking tip of the week to OS fan, Fletcher! ‘I hear y’all talk about redfish on the half shell all the time and wanted to share how I do mine. I start the same way with redfish on the half shell. Start with slicing peppers and onions then sauté on the stove with butter. Add 2 cloves of diced garlic about 5 minutes before you pull off. On the fish, add blackening or Cajun seasoning then just a bit of parm cheese. Scoop sautéed onions and peppers on fish and add a few slices of butter to the top of the fish and cook over charcoal. This recipe will change your life!’
