Hopefully you’ll be able to hear Capt. Kevin and the Unusual Suspects talk First Coast fishing over the chattering of your teeth! Chilly…chilly…chilly, indeed – but are the fish biting at all? Find out, have a little fun, and get the scoop on the next round of winter weather headed our way in the upcoming week.

With Capt. Kirk out on OSR, Capt. Kevin and Jeff took to the streets…and landed at the Prime Osborne for the Jacksonville Boat Show! Lots of great boats to talk about, of course, along with all kinds of great talk about fishing, hunting, music, food – you name it, they talked about it!

On this episode, the lines get drawn among Capt. Kevin and the Unusual Suspects – who loves them some January and February vs. who…not so much.  Get the lowdown, compare it to the luck you’re having, and see which side you’re on!  And listen in for the forecast, too…

One of the best things about the Outdoors Show is this: you can’t afford to miss a single episode, because you never know where the conversation’s going to go.  Sure, the guys talk hunting and fishing, weather and outdoors gear…and food (always food!), but the chatter went ALL over the place, and it was a whole lot of fun!

Capt. Kevin revisited something he first brought up during the last episode of the Fishing Forecast: the one that got away.  Crazy stories about the ones that didn’t quite make it to the boat…and a couple that actually did – and STILL got away!

Well, in case you didn’t notice…it’s officially January. Although everybody’s teeth are chattering, Capt. Kevin and the Unusual Suspects are actually feeling pretty good about fishing over the next few days.  So bundle up, get tough, and get ready to catch some nice ones!

Jeff was out on OSR this week, so Capt. Kevin and Capt. Kirk got things going themselves this episode.  But they didn’t end it that way – Capt. Paul Dozier joined them to talk a whole lot of fishing, including kingfishing (what else would the mastermind of the Old School talk about?) and naturally progressing into some really cool trolling talk.

They were talking offshore, and of course, when anybody talks about going offshore, the conversation shifts to sharks. Quite the interesting discussion ensued about how many are out there…and how much protection they really need.

Talked a little hunting, too…spawned by a very “interesting” story from a caller who caught a look at an intimate moment.

Capt. Kevin and the Unusual Suspects were back after a two-week, holiday-induced hiatus. So, as you can imagine, they had a lot of catching up to do about…catching fish!  Get the latest updates, along with the latest forecast, in this welcome back episode.

Capt. Kevin was off on some New Year’s OSR, but he checked in via the wonders of modern technology…to find Tru Luvin Fishing’s Domenic Paniccia sitting in his chair at the studio!  As you can imagine, lots of fun and fishing talk ensued.

Capt. Kirk shared the audio of a pack of yotes going BONKERS on his property…and why? Because something was in there with them, and one of those seems to have met an untimely end thanks to the beast that growls at the end of the clip. What was it – a bear? panther? BIGFOOT?!?!?!?

Not sure what brought it up (maybe the New Year’s fireworks?), but the guys got to talking about flashlights and kicked around all kinds of recommendations. That led to this episode going really gear-heavy. Flashlights, artificial lures, knives…and more.

The boys were back after some yuletide cheer to talk about the fun of the holidays and what was next up on the outdoors agenda. They got Capt. Kirk to talk about the INSANE haul he brought in the day before – lots of sheepshead and some of the biggest trout any of them had ever seen!

The guys talked about a lot of things, including more absurd fishing regulation talk, all kinds of stuff happening in the woods (bears, big cats and more), as well as potential names for Capt. Kevin’s new puppy, and all kinds of holiday food and fun talk.

The guys were back in studio, and they were a bit conflicted. Of course, everyone is all about all things Christmas this time of year, but with the weather as good as it is – and the fishing as good as it is – how could you not talk about it?

The conversation bounced around all over the place between fishing, hunting, sting ray barbs, Christmas gift ideas, Christmas movies and TV specials, lines from Star Wars (?!?)…no joke – this episode BOUNCED.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
