The Outdoors Show

With Capt. Kevin continuing his Kentuckiana OSR Adventure, Capt. Kirk and Jeff took the show on the road to Consignment Boat Sales! They brought Tru Luvin’ Fishing’s Domenic Paniccia with them to talk fishing, boats, and all things outdoors.

The weather continued to be a big story, of course, but the GREAT news is that the rain has arrived (for one day, at least)! It’s such a huge relief for those bravely fighting the fires across the region.

There was a lot to talk about, and they welcomed in Guy from Consignment Boat Sales to talk about boats (duh), but to have some fun sharing boat ramp stories. Since he’s been there 25 years, he had A LOT of ’em! NOTE: Guy shared his favorite story, and it is one YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO MISS! Here’s a guarantee – you will NOT believe it.

It’s the end of April, and although we didn’t get too many showers, the fishing is getting as pretty as a bouquet of May daisies! With Capt. Kevin doing some Kentuckiana OSR, Capt. Chip Wingo took the wheel and checked in with the rest of the boys to share the good news.

Be sure to listen in for the forecast, too – are things gonna get better?

The First Coast is kinda funny when it comes to fishing – you could be coming up pretty much empty around Jacksonville, but it could be 100% GAME ON in St. Aug! It was a mixed bag this week, but with water temps going up, business is definitely picking up in the water…and the guys talked about it at length.

The wildfires burning all over the region were also a big topic of conversation. Please keep everyone in your thoughts and prayers as the fires continue to ravage the Georgia and Florida landscape.

Lots of great information and fun on this episode – 100% worth a listen, whether you’re fishing or not!

So this time of year, what does Capt. Kevin fish for?  Well, especially after the weather we’ve been having, he – along with the Unusual Suspects – is fishing for whatever he can find! Cobia, jacks, triple tails…even sharks! But the question is this: is ANYTHING biting?

Find out, and get the latest forecast too.

Standard Feed & Seed has turned 80, and they invited the guys – and the entire OS Family – out to celebrate their birthday with them!  Nothing like doing the show outside in the midst of a gorgeous morning, talking about some great fishing, turkey hunting and more.

But sometimes the fishing stories aren’t so great…Capt. Kevin shared a story about his encounter with a nasty little bugger that could have landed him in the hospital. Listen in, check out the Facebook post, and take the story as a cautionary tale.

This birthday celebration wouldn’t have been complete without the great guests.  You know Frank, SF&S owner, would sit in for a while to have some fun and talk about all the great things happening at the store.  But the guys also welcomed in Ms. Kay Ehas, CEO of Groundwork Jacksonville – a nonprofit organization that does a lot to promote environmental stewardship of our area. She talked about what’s happening with the Emerald Trail and how you can get involved.

They say that if you don’t like the weather in Florida, just wait five minutes.  Well, it took a little longer than that, but WOW! The change in the weather was outstanding, and things felt perfect for Capt. Kevin and the Unusual Suspects. But did the change in the weather result into some great catches?  You’ll have to listen in to find out…and make sure you listen for the latest weather forecast as well.

The guys were still reeling from the CRAZY weather we all experienced over the past week, and of course it was one of the main topics of conversation. However, no matter what Mother Nature throws at us, we can all still find some outdoors stuff to do.

Jeff shared a great turkey hunt story about a turkey that was DETERMINED to get himself put down. After that, it was Kevin’s turn with a bird story of his own…that wound up being about a completely different animal – you’ll have to listen in to find out what it was.

But the golden thread running through the entire show was the Battle of the Outdoor Show Hosts – they couldn’t agree on much of anything!  The back and forth made for a whole lot of fun and a must-listen episode.

Yeah, not the most exciting title for a podcast episode, but after a weather week like this, what else can you call it?  This was one of those IFYAHAFTA kind of weeks – where you only go fishing…if you have to. Capt. Kevin talks about it with the Unusual Suspects, and then takes a look at the upcoming forecast. Will it get better? You’d better listen in to find out.

To fish or to hunt? THAT is the question, and your answer’s going to switch, depending on which day you wanna get outdoors. The guys went off on this next round of CRAZY weather before settling down and talking about what’s been going on in the woods and water.

In other news, Ed Malin, long-time part of the OS Family, was celebrating a birthday today, so the guys told some Malin Tales and had a lot of fun at his expense.

NOTE: Producer Chris is representing the Outdoors Show today (April 4) as the emcee for the Clay County Fair’s Donut Eating Contest. If you’re there, be sure to say hi!

Capt. Kevin was back from his various OSR exploits, sitting pretty in the studio for this episode, talking about what USED TO BE the best month of the year. Unfortunately for First Coast anglers, April has become one of the worst.  Will that hold true this year?  Capt. Kevin and the Unusual Suspects talk about what’s happening and what they hope to have happen during all those April showers…
