The Outdoors Show

Once again, it was Capt. Scott and Capt. Ricky handling hosting duties for this episode…it’s a shocker, but Capt. Kevin was hunting in GA!  In any event, as you know, this show is all about the weather, and the guys talked about it quite a bit – including where they get their weather info from.  If you’re wondering where to get the best up-to-the-minute info, they talk about it.

And of course, they talk about the upcoming forecast, so you don’t want to miss it.

It’s fall, which means a lot of anglers start putting down their tackle and picking up their hunting gear. It also means football, which means Jeff becomes quite the busy man.  Well, after two weeks in Britain, then two more games in ten days, it was time for him to take a little time to log some OSR.  So, with him in the woods, Capt. Kevin and Capt. Kirk called in Ringpower Fishing Forecast co-host Capt. Scott Shank to chat it up.

Although hunting is at the top of people’s minds, don’t get it twisted – the fishing is still great…if you don’t mind it being a little nippy.  The guys talk about it all and share some fun stories.

One more thing: there was a first on this episode.  Yes – after 26 YEARS, something happened during the show that has NEVER happened before!  Find out what it was, and all the craziness that led up to it!

With Capt. Kevin in the woods doing the deer thing, it was up to Capt. Scott and Capt. Ricky to man the helm for this episode.  But with the weather getting downright nippy on us, the question is this: how much fishing could they really talk about?  Well, listen in to find out the answer to that question, as well as the answer to the question you’re REALLY interested in: IS THE WEATHER GONNA BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME TO FISH THIS WEEK?

So the studio seats shifted again this week, with Jeff back, Capt. Kirk out, and even producer Chris doing some OSR in the hills of Kentucky (he was actually checking out the Ark Encounter, and would highly recommend it to you).  So Gibby was in the booth, turning the microphones on for Jeff, Capt. Kevin, and Fishing Forecast co-host Capt. Ricky Poupore.

There was a lot to talk about, but there’s no sense in burying the lead: during the show, Mr. Joel Hutchinson called in to share his story…he took down a 14+’ gator!  It’s an incredible tale (and if you check out the pics on Facebook, you’ll see that it’s an incredible tail, too), and one you don’t want to miss.

Yeah, you probably picked up on the alliteration with all those W’s, but it wasn’t just to be cute and catchy.  It really has been a week filled with wild and woolly weather.  The guys talk about it, joke about it, and then they tell you if there’s gonna be more of it.

It’s crazy to think that the Capt. Kevin, Capt. Kirk and Jeff have been doing this since October of 1997…and they haven’t gone crazy yet!

It was a great day to remember all the great experiences the guys have had over the years, and lot of people (including several OS Hall of Famers) called in to share their show stories and memories…and talk rattlesnakes!  Yeah, you know how it’s been for the past 26 years – whenever a hot topic hits, the guys roll with it!

Here’s your L.V. Hiers gear tip of the week: Captain Kirk found some great fingerless gloves at Bass Pro that are light as well as warm around $10.  Check out the Facebook post to get a good look at them!

Here’s your Ring Power CAT tip of the week: So it is rattlesnake season! This time of year is when snakes are moving around! Make sure you have your snake boots. And if you spend much time in the woods with your dog this time of year it’s a good idea to have get them a rattlesnake vaccination!

Here’s your KirbyCo Builders, Inc cooking tip of the week: Kate’s no bake cookies!  Find the recipe on our Facebook feed.

Well, maybe it’s a bit too early to say the entire month is going to be outstanding, but the first few days sure do paint a pretty picture, don’t they?  Capt. Kevin, Capt. Scott and Capt. Ricky were all talking about how things were getting better and better since September said goodbye.  Of course, you’re looking for the forecast, right?  You’ll certainly get it, along with some fun as well.

So, let’s see if you can track with this one: Jeff is in the midst of his Jaguars duties, which took him across the pond this week (and next).  Pivot to Kirk, who had to deal with being under the weather all week.  Two down.  So what’s Capt. Kevin to do?  Reunite with his Fishing Forecast co-hosts, Capt. Scott Shank and Capt. Ricky Poupore!

Obviously, that means there’s a lot of fishing conversation to be heard, but don’t think it’s 100% fishing.  There’s all kinds of fun stuff in this episode!

Capt. Kevin and Capt. Scott spent their time talking about the “amazing” weather we’re experiencing here on the First Coast…but it sure ain’t the kind of amazing that makes anglers happy.  The question is this: will we get the right kind of amazing over the next several days? Tune in to find out.

Capt. Kirk was on the road this week, masquerading as a USF cheerleader to cheer on his granddaughter as she continued her soccer domination.  So, with him out of studio, Capt. Kevin and Jeff welcomed back Mr. Rick Hall, co-host of The Southern Game and Tackle Podcast.

It’s a great time of year, as you know, because you almost have TOO MUCH to talk about, between the fishing and the hunting.  Well, the guys sure tried to talk about it all…

Here’s your L.V. Hiers gear tip of the week: The go-to artificial bait for tarpon. There are a lot of charter Captains who have had great success with this bait!

Here’s your Ring Power CAT tip of the week: We are going to have a little trivia about a certain redfish a friend of Kevin’s tagged. If you are interested in tagging redfish here is the package and contact.
