It was a labor of love for Capt. Kevin and Capt. Kirk in the wake of Valentine’s Day, as they handled show responsibilities. Jeff was away in Charleston, SC doing some OSR at the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition, commonly known as SEWE. As most folks know, Capt. Kirk grew up in those parts, so he had some insight into the town, the event, and all the great happenings there. Of course, there was a lot more to talk about than just SEWE, which means there’s a lot of good stuff to listen to in this...

With Valentine’s Day tomorrow, Capt. Kevin talks to the crew and gets their thoughts on just how lovely – or hateful – the fishing’s going to be over the next week. Facebook

The weather made quite the turn this past week, and the guys weren’t exactly happy about it. To be fair, they didn’t want freezing temps again, but they weren’t digging the 80’s at all. Turns out the warm weather brought out quite the zoo: they heard and saw turkeys, pigs, wild dogs, and everything else…and of course, they talked all about it. There was interesting stuff happening in the water, too. Did you hear about Contender, the great white spotted off-shore this week? That story spawned al...

If you spent any time outside over the past week, you know what everyone was talking about. Has spring sprung already? Find out how the weather affected the fishing, and most importantly, find out if the warm weather continues for the upcoming week… Facebook

With Capt. Kirk out doing some OSR, Capt. Kevin and Jeff welcomed in some great guests to talk about some fantastic stuff! First up was Dr. Darrin Willingham, Vice President of Jacksonville Offshore Sportfishing Club. He talked El Cheapo, which is coming up in about three weeks, and he shared some great stories about his recent trip off the coast of Louisiana and more. Next up, the guys welcomed in Ricky Van Rickley and Eddie Zeilman. Ricky’s a former Green Beret and is now the Executive Direc...

Well, after a brutally cold week of weather, Mother Nature chose to smile upon the First Coast once again! With some warmer temps, sunny skies and decent water, the fishing was…well, you’ll have to listen to find out, now won’t ya? Yeah, that was kinda mean. But hey – we want you to listen! You also might wanna listen in to the forecast so you can plan your next fishing excursion! Facebook

With Jeff on vacation, Capt. Kevin and Capt. Kirk decided to have some fun…at the Jacksonville Boat Show! And being the nice guys they were, they invited Capt. Chip Wingo to join in the festivities. Good thing they were inside, because the outside was no place to be at all. After a downright frigid week, the headline was all about the cold, the snow, the ice, and everything else. But make no mistake, there were a bunch of incredible boats, motors, gadgets and gizmos sitting right in front of t...

It’s no secret it has been extremely chilly over the past week, but the big question for First Coast anglers is this: how does the cold air affect the water, and how does that water temp affect the fish? Capt. Kevin and the usual cast of characters talk about various fish kill reports and rumors, and more importantly, what’s going to be happening with the upcoming forecast to see if we get to see those fish keep swimming. Facebook

Cold. That’s the word. As is often the case, the weather becomes a major source of conversation here on the First Coast, and this episode is no different. With a NASTY bit of weather on the way, the guys talked about all kinds of things associated with doing the outdoor thing in disturbingly less-than-ideal conditions. But even if the cold was coming, there was a great opportunity to warm your heart during the show, as the guys welcomed in Annie Tuttle, Executive Director of the Community Hos...

So a new year has begun, and the fish of the First Coast sure do know it. It’s all about fishing the tides, hitting it early, and hoping for the best. Capt. Kevin gets into it all with the usual cast of characters. WARNING: you’ll get the forecast as well, and as a spoiler alert…it’s NOT for the faint of heart. Facebook

So, it’s January, and that means two things: Jeff is done with his Jaguars duties (because they’re never in the playoffs) and is relaxing up in Georgia, and it’s time for the COLD. With those two things in mind, the guys talked about what they love, even if the weather’s a bit nippy. Here’s your L.V. Hiers gear tip of the week from John Ganas at Circle K! The Lock’N’Lube Grease Buster is a big helper for busting right through some old clogged grease fittings. Here’s your Ring Power CAT tip of t...

It can be a little tough doing all the little things associated with fishing when you can’t feel your fingers. It’s been a bit chilly, hasn’t it? Well, that’s what Capt. Kevin and the usual suspects kick around on this episode…what do you do when the most likely thing you’re gonna catch on the water is a cold? Listen in to find out! Be sure to check out the weather forecast too. Facebook

Welcome to 2025! It’s a new year, and so far…it’s proving to be quite the chilly one. The guys talked about it all morning, and how it affects everyone’s time in the woods and on the water. Capt. Kevin was doing some OSR, but he was on board via the wonders of modern technology, and we found out he needs to have his redneck card revoked! Why, you ask? Listen to find out the reason, and see if you agree. But the major event of the morning was the guys’ interview with Alberto Vanegas. Alberto rec...

Sorry for the clickbait title. NO, the Fishing Forecast does NOT have a new host! Capt. Kevin was just away doing some OSR (FFR?), so Capt. Chip Wingo was sitting in the chair for this episode. Capt. Leon was soon to join him, and Capt. Ricky checked in right away as well. Of course, the talk centered around that pesky thermometer…YIKES, IT’S CHILLY!!!! Listen in for some tips on handling the icy water, and get the forecast as well. Facebook

Capt. Kevin was up in Georgia this week to enjoy an ENC (Empty Nester Christmas), but he was on the air with Capt. Kirk and Jeff to continue bringing the Christmas cheer.

Here’s your L.V. Hiers gear tip of the week: Don’t throw away your hand warmers! Put them in a plastic bag and squeeze all the air out…...

In the wake of the OS Christmas Show at Ringpower, the guys spent a lot of time talking about all of the stories coming out the amazing events.

Hiers gear tip of the week from Captain Kirk: He uses the Nite Ize Gear Tie to secure his gun to his climbe...

HOLLYWOOD SIGHTING! HOLLYWOOD SIGHTING! That’s right…Capt. “Hollywood” Ricky Poupore was back in studio for this episode after all of his travels. And as he settled in, he and Capt.

It made for great conversation and insight, especially when usual cast of characters joined…ALL OF WHOM ARE GIVING AWAY CHARTER TRIPS AT THIS SATURDAY’S CHRISTMAS SHOW!!!!

This is going to be hard to believe, but all three guys were actually back in studio! They were back after a bunch of time in the woods and with family…great stories about some great times.

Capt. Kevin was back from The Roost and in the home studio once again, and the chatter got back to fishing. The air and water temps have dropped quite a bit, but you gotta listen in to find out how it’s all affecting the fish. That takes care of the “fishin” part, but what about the “preppin”? Well, this time of year, it’s pretty impossible to NOT talk about the annual OS Christmas Show at Ringpower (next Saturday, of course). Are you ready for a big time with LOTS of big prizes? Well, if not, ...

It’s a chilly one this morning…especially in Georgia, where Capt. Kevin and Jeff did the show this week. As you could guess, there was a ton of deer talk from the guys, with a bunch of great stories about “Poseidon”, “Tank”, “Hand Truck”, “Steak Knife”, and all those nicknamed bucks we love so much. But since this show is all about fishing too, Capt. Kirk checked in with some in shore updates, and Capt. Chip Wingo and Capt. Ricky Poupore contributed to the conversation too! Here’s your L.V. Hi...

Capt. Kevin kicked off the show…from his place in Georgia! He brought Capt. Chip Wingo with him, since both Capt. Kirk and Jeff were off doing some OSR of their own. They both managed to check in, though – Kirk was getting ready to go hook up with some sheepshead, and Jeff took some time out to share the story of “Hand Truck Buck”. What a story! Capt. Ricky Poupore also joined Kevin and Chip to talk about his HUGE hunting adventure. And when you throw in some, well, INTERESTING turkey facts, y...

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, of course, but even though Capt. Kevin was spending time in Georgia, there was NO WAY he wasn’t gonna talk fishing…and just how thankful we should all be for such a great fishery. And he wasn’t the only thankful one – Capt. Cory, Capt. Leon, and Capt. Chip all chimed in with thankful stories of their own. But…will we be thankful for the weather this upcoming week? You’ll have to listen to find out. Facebook
