The Outdoors Show

This episode quickly proved to be a crazy one. The guys were coming off a troubling week: Jeff checked in from home – he was sick, and his wife Tera was getting over a serious fight with a bad oyster. Kevin was battling pump issues, Kirk was dealing with a downed freezer.  But there was silver lining in it all: with Jeff out, he asked Rick Hall to come in and swap stories, which is always fun. Whenever Rick comes in, you can bet there’s going to be hunting talk, and he did not disappoint.

Of course with the warm weather, there were plenty of fishing stories to talk about as well. Who better to talk about it than Darrin and Courtney, who returned to talk El Cheapo one more time before next weekend’s event!

Capt. Kevin and the Unusual Suspects couldn’t stop talking about the change in the weather…and how it impacted the fishing.  Whether you’re offshore, surf, or in-shore, there’s some good stuff in this episode for you.  But the question is this: does the forecast have more good stuff in it for you?  Listen in to find out.

Jeff headed north to South Carolina for some OSR, which opened up a chair for a special guest – shark angler Alberto Vanegas! Capt. Kevin and Capt. Kirk grilled Alberto about his latest exploits, including catch great white sharks on the shores of the Atlantic and the Gulf of America!  The stories you’ll hear are simply amazing.

Happy Valentine’s Day!!

If you’re looking to find some happy anglers, you’ve come to the right place! Capt. Kevin and the Unusual Suspects spent this episode talking about all the good stuff happening now that the temps are rising and the fish are biting.  Listen in to get the lowdown and the latest forecast so you’re ready to heat up yourself!

The boys packed the studio for this episode, welcoming in Courtney Woznek and Darrin Willingham to talk about the 2026 El Cheapo Sheepshead Tournament. They gave everyone the lowdown on all the details and the prizes, too. The conversation inevitably led to sheepshead fishing stories, including Kirk’s infamous “Dixie Cup” tale…this one alone is worth the listen!

Alexis Kidd from Community Hospice and Palliative Care also checked in to talk about their connection to the upcoming Walter “Chuck” Foster Sporting Clay Shoot. It’s a great organization doing great things and getting help from a great event!

Of course, there was all kinds of talk about fishing as the guys were looking ahead to warmer weather.

Yep, the First Coast Winter Bluster-palooza continued this week, but for those brave enough to get out there, the fishing wasn’t bad at all! Capt. Kevin talked about it with the Unusual Suspects, and introduced the newest member of the crew, Capt. Rob Robbins! He’s THE pro between the Buckman and Green Cove Springs, so get ready for great insight into part of the best fishery on the East Coast!

The guys were back in studio (and they brought Capt. Leon Dana along, too), and the top thing on their mind was the bottom number on that temp chart – YIKES!

They took a break from the chilly chatter to listen to Capt. Kirk’s fantastic deer hunting story…you don’t want to miss the interesting turn it took. In fact, the show was LOADED with all kinds of great stories – perfect when you’re curled up to keep warm on during a winter cold snap.

A question came up, and lots of folks talked about it: do you crank the music while you’re on your boat, or do you keep it quiet to listen to what’s going on around you? LOTS of interesting answers…and lots of favorite songs thrown out there by the music lovers.

And finally, have you ever heard of “nosnolgia”? Well, you will when you listen to this episode.

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…
