Chip calling, and get that all-important forecast, too. Facebook

Now before you go getting all flipped out about that “F”, it’s nothing naughty – the guys were just talking about all kinds of “F” things: Fishing, Food, Football, and Fun! WARNING: Nobody is quite sure what got into Capt. Kirk during this episode, but he was in RARE form. It’s worth the listen just to check out how sideways he gets… Here’s your L.V. Hiers gear tip of the week from Captain Kevin: I know we all love our new cell phone trail cameras. But if you just want an inexpensive reliable ...

Capt. Kevin and Capt. Cory were in studio talking about summer storms, and believe it or not, they’re just like Santa Claus! Why? Well, when Santa shows up, he drags soot around the fireplace, leaves cookie crumbs everywhere, spills some milk on the floor…and heaven knows what those reindeer are leaving on your roof. But the next morning, there’s all kinds of gifts for everybody! Tropical storms are the same way – they’re a big fat mess when they’re here, but after they leave, the fishing is li...

The boys were excited to welcome back Dr. Quinton White to talk about everything happening in First Coast waters…and this time, he had some stories to share about his recent world tour! Of course, the shark question came up, as you would guess. It’s another MUST LISTEN episode for sure. The guys also talked about the interesting storm that was Hurricane Debby, and Renee checked in to talk about the 2024 Northeast Florida Lionfish Roundup on Sept. 7. Here’s your L.V. Hiers gear tip of the week:...

Capt. Kevin and Capt. Cory piled into the studio for this week’s episode shaking off the last of the raindrops from Hurricane Debby, and scratching their heads about why everyone was making such a big deal out of her in the first place. Of course, it didn’t take long to get back to talking about fishing, and there are plenty of good stories and tips to go around from the captains and the callers. And don’t miss that forecast, either! Facebook

The King of the Beach was up and running as the guys entered the studio. To be more accurate, Capt. Kirk and Jeff came into the studio, because Capt. Kevin was busy trying to win the thing! That meant there was an empty chair in the studio, which was filled by none other than Capt. Leon Dana! They talked about the tournament, of course, and had several participants call in with updates (including Capt. Kevin himself). Paul Dozier called in with an update about the latest reg situation after som...

With Capt. Kirk on assignment this week, Capt. Kevin and Jeff called Domenic Paniccia back to sit in! Domenic is BIG into kayak fishing, and he had a lot of insight to share. It’s funny how this show works sometimes, and how the conversations take a direction nobody saw coming. This episode was one of those times…no clue how the guys got to it, but there was a bunch of great talk – and great tips – about all those rechargeable batteries we use for everything. Catch up with Domenic online: tru...

…where do you go? Find out where Capt. Ricky went to catch some nice ones, what Capt. Kevin USED to use to catch some big ones, and why Capt. Cory wasn’t in the studio to tell some of his secrets!

If you’re looking for some tips, this was the episode for you! Big stuff, little stuff, handy stuff, must-have/must-do stuff…so many tips, you may want to listen to this episode with a pad and pencil. The guys also welcomed in Eric Searcy, DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) to talk about all kinds of amazing animal stuff! Cows, horses, dogs and more. Here’s your L.V. Hiers gear tip of the week: If you’re looking to fly Old Glory on your boat, the absolute BEST flag holder for your boat is mad...

So what’s changing? Capt. Kevin, Capt. Ricky and Capt. Cory talked about the changes in water temperature. Now when THAT changes, all kinds of things change. You wanna get prepped for the changes? This is the show you need to listen to. Of course, it’ll help to get that forecast, too… Facebook

In the wake of an unfortunately typical HOT MESS of a one-day snapper season, the guys got together to talk about it a little bit…but spent more time talking about how good things have been otherwise. In addition to all of their own fishing talk (and a little bit of snake talk), the guys welcomed in Louis Joseph, founder of the North Florida King of the Beach. It’s an incredible tournament with incredible prizes, but the most important and incredible aspect of the tournament is the cause which ...

Capt. Kevin and Capt. Cory were in studio talking about the reason Capt. Ricky wasn’t with them: the glorious return of the ONE-DAY SNAPPER SEASON on Friday! Of course, the talk wasn’t so much about catching snapper as it was about the ridiculous reg and the resulting bottleneck of boats in First Coast waters. They also talked about the decent week that was, as well as the week to come. Be sure to listen for the forecast to plan your next angling excursion. Facebook

The boys were back in town and ready to go today, and they brought Garmin’s Dowe Thornton in as well! If you’ve been listening to the Outdoors Show with any regularity over the past couple of years, you know everyone has been talking about the amazing technological advancements in fishing. Dowe is a Sr. Marine Sales and Support rep, and was able to give us a peek behind the curtain to talk about all the incredible things Garmin has on the market and how it can help you land more – and bigger – f...

Capt. Kirk, Jeff and Chris were all on vacation, so Capt. Kevin got hand-select his team for this episode! He called in Matt Bridgewater, his buddy Capt. Ron Gibson (aka “Boo”), and Capt. Chip Wingo all sat in, and Gibby took Chris’ chair to spin the hits! Obviously, fishing talk ruled the day, but after last week’s nor’easter, it wasn’t the easiest subject to talk about. Somehow, the guys managed, and it turned out to be a blast of a show. Here’s your L.V. Hiers gear tip of the week from Capt...

Capt. Kevin was talking about it. Capt. Ricky was talking about it. What were they talking about? Just how difficult a week it’s been for fishing. Listen in for the details, and most importantly, if the weather was going to do us all some favors next week. Facebook

The guys had a pretty cool visitor to the Outdoors Show Studios during this episode: Cliff Prince, winner of the Bassmaster Elite Series at Wheeler Lake! Cliff talked about the tournament, the gear, being on the tour, and a whole lot more. Capt. Kevin was back in the studio with Jeff and Capt. Kirk, and the top story was the weather…and just how bad it was since last week’s show! But it wasn’t just the weather that was bad – between Kirk’s spider encounters and Chris’ continued Moccasin Massacr...

With Capt. Kevin doing some OSR in Kentucky, Capt. Chip Wingo sat in once again to talk about all things summer on the First Coast: the good fishing, the bad bait situation, the heat, the snakes, the recent shark attacks and more. Everybody also talked about the Old School Kingfish Shootout…kinda had to, since Paul Dozier called in with the recap! LOL Even though Kevin wasn’t in-studio, he did call in to give his personal perspective on the Old School, share what he was doing in Kentucky, and g...

What’s a guy gotta do to get a quality crew these days? Okay – Capt. Ricky and Capt. Cory may have left Capt. Kevin all alone in the Fishing Forecast studio, but Capt. Ricky DID call in to share the story of his first-ever blue marlin! Of course, Capt. Kevin filled everyone in on the Old School Kingfish Shootout, and the usual cast of characters called in as well. And did we forget? NO…you’ll get the forecast for the upcoming week as well. Facebook

The Old School Kingfish Shootout is upon us, so Capt. Kirk (a.k.a. Cheaty McCheaterson) and Jeff were talking about it with Tournament Director Paul Dozier and a bunch of participants…including Capt. Kevin! Capt. Chip Wingo sat in with the guys too, and supplied his own perspective on all the Old School fun. Here’s your L.V. Hiers gear tip of the week: Protect your boat battery connections, wiring connections, game camera battery compartment with Boeshield T-9…all for about $17 at West Marine. ...

Capt. Kevin and Capt. Cory held down the fort this week while some Forecast mainstays were away. Capt. Ricky couldn’t be in the studio because he was on Cloud Nine…he caught his first ever blue marlin! And Capt. Leon called like he calls every week, but not from home…Capt. Leon checked in from Yellowstone! There was also lots of great fishing talk to be had, of course, especially with the Old School Kingfish Shootout on the horizon. Find out how the weather’s going to play out for one of the bi...

The beach was going CRAZY with kingfish this week, and the guys were all about it. They had all kinds of stories about the fishing over the past several days…and speculated about just how great it’s going to be for the Old School Kingfish Shootout. And speaking of the Old School, Paul Dozier called in to talk about the tournament and just how great things are looking for one of the best tournaments ever. The guys also talked about the yacht that centered that concrete buoy and got some national...

Capt. Cory was supposed to be joining Capt. Kevin and Capt. Ricky for this episode, but he decided it would be more fun to cut his finger off! Seriously, Capt. Cory did sustain an injury and couldn’t make it to the studio for the show…thoughts, prayers and best wishes to you, sir! That news led to talking about the unfortunate mishaps that can sometimes occur on the water, and of course, everyone chimed in with their recent fishing exploits and the guys dropped a nice fishing forecast on the Fi...

It’s Memorial Day weekend…all of us from the Outdoors Show wish the very best to all the families of everyone who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Thank you! Jeff was on the road for a wedding (he did check in to hang out for a bit), so Capt. Kevin and Capt. Kirk welcomed in Capt. Chip Wingo and special guest Paul Dozier! Lots of fishing talk, including plenty of talk about the Old School Kingfish Shootout, which has become one of the premiere tournaments on the east coast. Here’s your...
