The guys were back in the studio this week, and boy, did they have A LOT to talk about. Capt. Kevin had the spotlight, since he had the opportunity to harvest one of his biggest target bucks! Of course there was fishing talk, foodie talk…and somehow, this episode turned into the Strange Pronunciation Game! Yeah, you’ll have to listen to figure that one out. Here’s your L.V. Hiers gear tip of the week: When you finish hunting and before you put everything away make sure you wipe it down with Ho...

Capt. Kevin was quick to talk about just how good the weather’s been over the past week, but with a cold front rolling in soon, the question is just how good is it going to be over the next seven days? The usual cast of characters checked in to give their two cents, and then Kevin cranked out the forecast so we can all get ready to fish…or not! Facebook

Coming to you LIVE from Hagan Ace in Callahan, it was a huge event kicked off by Paul Wane doing the National Anthem! Capt. Kevin shared his story about his latest deer, and the guys talked to a bunch of great people about a bunch of great stuff available at the Callahan Ace. Here’s your L.V. Hiers gear tip of the week: Bring your knife block (or any non-serrated) to Hagan Ace Hardware of Callahan while we are here live to get sharpened up for the holidays! resharp is doing FREE sharpens during...

In what is a first for the Fishing Forecast, Capt. Kevin took his show on the road…a LOOOOOOONG road, in fact! He was doing some OSR from Georgia all week, so he checked in through the wonders of modern technology! But not to fear – there was plenty of First Coast fishing talk to be heard, as well as some time spent on the weather forecast for the upcoming week. Don’t miss it! Facebook

Jeff was out of office tending to his Jaguars duties, so Capt. Kevin and Capt. Kirk welcomed in Capt. Chip Wingo to talk about the crazy month that was October…and speculate on what kind of month November’s gonna be. But this episode was much more than a few captains reading tea leaves. Dr. Todd Osborne, from the UF Whitney Laboratory of Marine Bioscience at Marine Land, called in to go into deep water about clams and the current clam restoration projects happening in the region. If you want to...

First things first: no Halloween dad jokes in this description. You deserve better, so we’re avoiding that nonsense… Now, down to business: it’s been a bizarre month as you know, but it got sideways again last Friday, with Capt. Kevin talking about a CRAZY sheepshead and black drum bite going on. Capt. Cory chimed in to talk about today’s fun trout bite, and the usual cast of characters checked in with stories of their own. Of course, Kevin took some time for the first November forecast, too. ...

Capt. Kirk was out doing some OSR, so Capt. Kevin and Jeff welcomed in Dave Edwards once again to sit in and drop some knowledge on everyone! Lots of topics were covered, but for some reason, everybody kept coming back to dropping their pants for one reason or another. Why, you ask? Sometimes, it’s better not to ask. And in case you forgot… VOTE “YES” ON AMENDMENT 2!!! Here’s a great article from Ducks Unlimited about the amendment, and why you should vote “yes”: https://www.ducks.org/newsroom...

After all the nasty weather we’ve had for weeks and weeks, Capt. Kevin and the crew are still celebrating the FANTASTIC weather that’s making for some great inshore fishing. But how are things offshore…and will the trend of great weather continue? Well, that’s why you listen to the Fishing Forecast, right? Facebook

Jeff was still hanging out with the Brits this week to handle his Jaguars duties, so Capt. Kevin and Capt. Kirk welcomed in Capt. Leon Dana to talk fishing, the start of gun season in Georgia, and a long overdue rest from all the nasty storms, wind, rain, and damage… The guys had a special treat when OS Hall of Famer Scotty “Bass” Brown checked in to drop some serious knowledge about bass; if you dig a large mouth, you don’t want to miss Scotty’s call. They also had several people call in to as...

Seems like it’s been forever since we weren’t talking about continual rain or hurricanes or bad conditions or something…lousy. Well, just like the weather, times change! So, on this episode, Capt. Kevin proudly brings to you: FISHING TALK!!!!!! You’ll get the forecast, of course, and thankfully, there won’t be anything seriously nasty in it. Or will there??????? Facebook

Between Helene and Milton, everyone is about done with it…including the guys. Jeff checked in from London to talk with Kevin, Kirk and Capt. Ricky Poupore (who came in to fill the empty chair) about the Milton Mess as well as leftover cleanup from Helene. But like everyone else, they didn’t want to just sit around and talk about storm stuff – you can bet there was a bunch of fishing and hunting talk, and Grandpa Jimmy called in with a story about his amazing elk hunt! And it’s worth the listen…...

As you can imagine, the fallout from Hurricane Helene was still on the top of everyone’s minds. The guys had some hunting property woes to deal with, but their concerns were with the widespread devastation experienced by people across the entire southeast. Again, if you have any way to help, please do…so many people need so much help! Ed Malin and Chef Gordon checked in to talk about the massive support the First Coast supplied to Madison County, NC. The details of what they saw and experienced...

Now that Hurricane Helene has passed (please keep the thoughts, prayers and help coming for all those dealing with the damage and destruction), Capt. Kevin hopped on the line with Capt. Ricky, Capt. Leon and Capt. Cory to talk about the return of First Coast fishing. Listen in, because you’ll be able to pick up some nice little tips along the way! You’ll also get the weather forecast…of course you don’t want to miss that. Facebook

They wanted to spend this episode talking about what’s happening in the water and what’s coming up in the woods. Hurricane Helene had different plans, however. It was almost impossible to ignore what so many people are dealing with in the wake of the storm all the way from the Florida Gulf Coast into Kentucky. Of course, those of us on the First Coast can be thankful we were spared the devastation…and have the good fortune to be able to pivot back to fishing! There’s A LOT happening in the wate...

With Hurricane Helene bearing down on the Sunshine State, Capt. Kevin kicked things off all by his lonesome in the studio. But not to fear, Capt. Ricky soon checked in from where he was hunkered down to talk about what was, what is, and what will soon be when it comes to the storm. Of course, the most important aspect of the conversation was how Helene was going to affect the fishing! Facebook

Thankfully, the rain FINALLY stopped, the sun returned, and the guys were able to get on the water and into the woods. There was a lot to talk about, of course, but things really picked up with special in-studio guest Brian Dufek, Southeast Regional Manager of Shimano. The fishing talk got in-depth and intense…especially when it came to discussing the troubling legislation on the horizon for East Coast fishing. There was a lot of great stuff in this episode – 100% must-listen stuff! Here’s you...

We know it’s not December. We know that Christmas is NOT, in fact, around the corner. And no, we are planning our 2025 resolutions. But with hunting season on the horizon, Capt. Kevin took some time this week to reflect on 2024, the fishing year. That theme and those memories dominated the episode…along with the forecast, of course. Facebook

Well, when it’s raining too much to fish, and the woods are too wet to get ready…you put together big plans for a huge show! The guys were loaded for bear on this episode, welcoming in author Monte Burke to talk about some of his incredible books (see the links below to get your copies). Monte is a top-shelf storyteller, so this chat alone is worth the price of admission. But that wasn’t the only highlight: Paul Wane, leader of the band Duval County Line (check them out HERE on Spotify), checke...

Not much else to say, is there? The rain continues, so the fishing doesn’t (for the most part). However, there’s still a bunch to talk about…as you know when a bunch of captains get together. Listen in to the stories and calls, and maybe – just maybe – you can find some hope in the upcoming forecast. Facebook

Capt. Chip Wingo joined the guys in the studio for this episode to talk about…you guessed it: THE WEATHER. The rain is bad, it’s gonna be bad, and it’s gonna be bad for a while. Brave it at your own risk! But don’t be afraid to listen…as is always the case, there was a lot of good talk about the woods, the water, and all the tasty stuff that comes out of the kitchen. Here’s your L.V. Hiers gear tip of the week from Captain Kirk: “Now’s the time to start making sure everything is tuned right! G...

Capt. Kevin had a full house for the first time in a little while…probably because the weather has NOT been good for fishing at all! Capt. Ricky and Capt. Cory echoed that point, but everybody acknowledged that September is traditionally not the best time of year on the water around the First Coast. However, there were stories to be told, and you can bet everyone had some good ones to share on this episode. The big question is this: will things improve over the next week? You know the drill: li...

So Jeff was back in the studio with Capt. Kevin and Capt. Kirk, and you can tell what time of year it is by the way the conversation goes. After months of nothing but fishing, the guys are starting to split their talk time between the water and the woods, and they hit on everything from bear to crossbows to getting ready for deer season…and they talked about some guy so desperate to drop a monster buck that he wound up in serious trouble with the law. It’s been a bit of good news/bad news, too…...

It was Capt. Kevin and Capt. Ricky at the helm this week, and one look at the calendar is all it takes to see it’s tarpon time! But the question is this: is the weather going to help you or hurt you when you’re trying land one of those monsters? Tune in and find out… Facebook

With Jeff away in Georgia doing some OSR, this episode was in the capable hands of Capt. Kevin and Capt. Kirk. They had quite a bit to talk about…especially about the weather, and how unsettled it has left the waters of the area. Jeff did call in, along with a bunch of great callers, including Trina and Caroline, who shared some great info on the Young Life Triple Challenge. The boys also announced their newest sponsor: Log’s Hogs!!! LOL And remember these wise words from Capt. Kirk…”Take car...
