The Outdoors Show

Jeff made his return from an OSR stint on Sanibel/Captiva, and he brought plenty of fishing stories, tips and tricks back with him.

Capt. Kevin and Capt. Kirk had their own stories to tell about what was happening in the water this past week – including the nasty afternoon winds they had to deal with.

Finally, throughout the morning, anglers were checking in from the Greater Jax to talk about the kings they WEREN’T catching.

Although everyone’s wishing we could get a little more rain to make up for the horrific drought we went through, Capt. Kevin is all about the fishing. It’s perfect! Well, almost…

Find out what’s on the money and what’s off target from everyone, and get the upcoming forecast to see if everything falls into place for First Coast anglers.

Here’s something you can take to the bank: if somebody loves hunting and fishing and being in the outdoors as much as the guys, you can 100% bet they love the United States of America like crazy. They were THRILLED to have the opportunity to do a show on the 250th birthday of our great nation, and thrilled to have you be a part of it.

This episode was filled with all the things that make our country great (including talk about all the great fishing that’s happening here on the First Coast), and it’s worth enjoying every minute. You’ll laugh, you’ll salute and you may even catch yourself tearing up once or twice.

May God continue to bless America, the greatest country in the history of the world, for another 250 and beyond. Happy Birthday, Lady Liberty. May freedom always ring.

The calendar may tell you it’s July, but if you ask Capt. Kevin and the Unusual Suspects, it’s pretty much Christmas in First Coast waters right now. The fishing is simply spectacular. When you hear these guys – who fish for a living – say things like, “the best day I’ve ever had in my life,” it should tell you just how good things are.

Get the stories, get the tips, make your plans and hook up, anglers. Welcome to paradise!

Jeff continued his 2026 Off-Season OSR Tour this week, but he checked in through the wonders of modern technology. Capt. Kevin and Capt. Kirk held down the fort in the studio – with BIG smiles on their faces. Why?  Because the fishing has been EPIC! OTHERWORLDLY! STUPENDOUS! TREMENDOUS!

Yeah, it’s been pretty darn good.

The guys – along with lots of callers – dropped all kinds of details, stories, tips and tricks. The show also meandered into tick territory. Find out everything you need – and don’t want – to know about Satan’s favorite bug.

And we wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t mention a conversation that rolled all show long. It’s one of the most important debates of our time: Ginger or Mary Ann?

Capt. Kevin smelled like smoke in the studio – not because the place burned down, and not because he recently acquired a taste for Cuban cigars – but because the the fishing is cooking.

The boys chimed in with their own tales of angling victory and the amazing things they’re seeing.  And as for the forecast, you’ll be – well, listen in and find out…

With Jeff out on OSR, Capt. the studio became the Captain Collection – Capt. Kevin, Capt. Kirk, Capt. Chip Wingo, and Capt. Ricky Poupore!  As you would guess, fishing talk dominated the episode. On top of all the stories, tips and tricks you’d expect, the guys also got follow up reports from the #1 and #4 finishers in last week’s Old School Kingfish Shootout. You do NOT want to miss the stories they had about their experiences.

The Captain Collection also had a chance to reminisce about their friend Ben, and shared some hilarious stories about him.

Jeff did call in from Kentucky, though, and he brought a crazy non-fishing story with him. You’ll have to listen to find out, but it’s quite the trip (if you know, you know).

It’s been a LOOOOOONG time coming, but the weather’s finally shaping up and First Coast fishing is as good as it gets…well, it’s getting there. Capt. Kevin talks about it, and the Unusual Suspects chime in with there thoughts and stories too.  And make sure you listen in for the forecast – so you know exactly when it’s gonna get…as good as it gets.

It’s Old School Kingfish Shootout Saturday! Capt. Kirk was doing OSR with his son, and Capt. Kevin was busy vying for the big money, so Jeff brought in Tru Luvin’ Fishing’s Domenic Paniccia and Rick Hall to fill the chairs and have some fun.

Coverage began with the one and only Paul Dozier, who gave everyone the complete rundown on the tournament, and continued throughout the morning with calls from a bunch of Old School anglers – Harley Bryan from CSS, Dave Edwards, Capt. Chris Stevens, “Mullethead” Paul, and more. Here’s the bonus: not only will you hear reports about how they’re doing, but you’ll be able to pick up a lot of tips – you might need to listen to this one with a notepad.

The Old School was the headline for this episode, as expected, but when you have Rick Hall in the house, you gotta talk hunting, too. So if you need a little hunting fix, you have that in this one as well.

Unless you’ve been living in a hole, you know Mother Nature has NOT been very kind to First Coast anglers.  Well, if you ask Capt. Kevin and the Unusual Suspects, they’ll tell you that’s all changing for the better!  Get the details on a great couple of days and a forecast that’s making the Old School Kingfish Shootout look really good!
