Jim Croce once sang, “You don’t tug on Superman’s cape, you don’t spit into the wind, you don’t pull the mask off the ‘ol Lone Ranger, and you don’t mess around with Slim.” Well, he should’ve added a line about how you shouldn’t trust the weatherman. “Beautiful weather,” they said. “Great for fishing,” they said. They lied. Capt. Kevin and the Thursday Night Cast of Characters talks about it, and then they give you a forecast you can actually trust on this episode of the Fishing Forecast. F...

The 2025 Outdoors Show World Tour continued this episode, as the guys headed to Mayport to spend the day at Consignment Boat Sales. Consignment Boat Sales is loaded with great boats for you, and this episode was loaded with great stories for you, too!

If you saw the news or social media this week, you probably saw Mike Dragich catching a wild gator in the middle of I-95. He joined the show to talk abou...

Chip to get the lowdown off-shore and in-shore. You’ll also get the forecast, which should be a big help to you as you plan out your upcoming week of fishing. Facebook

It was quite the week on the water…a tale of two scenarios. One day, it’s beautiful and the fishing was off the chain. The next, not so much.

Now, everyone’s wondering just how great it’s going to continue to be. Listen in for the forecast and see what the future holds for you and your angling endeavors. Facebook

If you listen to the Outdoors Show for the hunting and fishing stories, this is THE EPISODE for you! The guys all had some great stories about everything going on in the woods and in the water. The turkey hunting has been great, the fishing has been great (even though the weather has been, well, not so much), and the guys talk all about it. Not sure how it happened, but somehow the word “bougie” came up. Chris promptly introduced the guys to ChatGPT, which spit out all kinds of info and led to ...

April usually gives us the kind of weather that makes anglers want to do something other than fish, and this April is no different. Capt. Kevin and the usual cast of characters talks about the trouble they’re facing in shore and off shore this week. But, the question is this: will Crapril last all month long? Listen in to find out what the weather forecast is telling us… Facebook

Capt. Kevin and Jeff were broadcasting live from Standard Feed and Seed to celebrate their 79th anniversary! They talked about all the great stuff going on there, all the great stuff they have for sale there, and the amazing deals happening there during the anniversary celebration. The guys also talked about the viral video featuring a CRAZY charter captain going bonkers on a boater, and called Attorney Brett Hastings to talk about the legal ramifications of the guy’s actions. It was insightful...

It was a bittersweet episode for the guys – bitter because they were in studio when they really wanted to be out there for the first day of turkey season. However, it was sweet because First Coast fishing legend Capt. Dennis Young stopped by the studio to tell some captivating tales about fishing the First Coast since 1972 (the great white stories alone are worth a listen). He also talked with the guys about the state of First Coast fishing today, and what needs to be done to preserve it for fu...

As you would guess, fishing was top of mind for the guys, as the weather on the water was pretty good and the Wahoo Shootout was wrapping up. Paul Dozier checked in with the details, which eventually led to talk about a shark tournament? What could possibly go wrong… And, as usual, the conversation went a bit sideways. Not even sure how pickle loaf came up, but how did they manage to go from sourdough bread to hog jowls? That journey alone is worth the listen! Here’s your L.V. Hiers gear tip o...

Yeah, the NCAA Tournament is the talk of the sports world right now, but there’s some madness happening in First Coast waters, too! Capt. Kevin checks in with the usual cast of characters to get the rundown on everything. Will the madness continue? That all depends on the weather, so listen in to get the forecast… Facebook

The guys were all back in studio and back at it, as the Mother Nature decided to drop some good weather on us all. Good weather leads to talking about good fishing, of course, but it also comes with lots of sun exposure…and the trouble we can find ourselves in when we get too much of it. To talk about that, the guys welcomed in Summer Zerbe from Beaches Dermatology for a great discussion about how best to take care of your skin when you’re on the water. They also tipped a cap to Charlie Hamaker...

It’s been a week of weirdness over the past seven days, and it even carried over into this episode. Yeah, kinda weird to start the show off with Capt. Chip Wingo at the helm, but it’s one of those things since Capt. Kevin is under the weather with quite the weird little bug. But it doesn’t stop there – the weird temps, the weird weather patterns…and a bunch of weird guys to talk about it all this week! But just how weird will the forecast be for you this coming week? Listen in and find out… Fa...
