The Outdoors Show

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&...

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 th...

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 f...

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...

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....

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 shar...

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...

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 a...

Well what do ya know!  Guess who decided to rejoin Capt. Kevin and Capt. Cory…Hollywood himself, Capt. Ricky!  So, with the gang all back in the studio, it was time to get down to the nitty gritty of August fishing on the First Coast. Tune in to hear from the guys, along with Capt. Leon and Capt. 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: F ishing, F ood, F ootball, and F un! 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...

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 everybod...

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...

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 t...

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 (includin...

Welcome to August…the most wonderful, busiest, hottest time of the year! Capt. Kevin and Capt. Cory, along with the usual cast of characters, talk about what’s coming up, including a preview of King of the Beach! They’ve got their weatherman hats on for this one, so you’ve got listen as you get ready for all that’s coming at you. Facebook

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 &#82...

…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!  Of course, the usual cast of characters checked in, and you got your forecast for the final week of July to check out as well. Facebook

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 o...

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 tourn...

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...
