Local fishing, forecast by feel.
The Outdoors Show tracks what local anglers actually face on the water: wind, warming creeks, changing tides, bait costs, and seasonal bites. Its conversations stay practical, salty, and specific to the Jacksonville and St. Augustine fishing scene.

The Outdoors Show works like a practical fishing forecast for anglers who need more than a generic marine report. It lives in local detail. St. Augustine, Jacksonville, the Intracoastal, the St. Johns River, creeks, inlets, bridges, oyster beds, and bait shops are not scenery here; they are the operating map. The talk often starts with conditions. Wind matters. Water temperature matters. A northeast blow can push water in strange directions, and the show takes time to explain what that means for someone trying to fish a Saturday without getting careless. The best moments come when technique, weather, and local memory meet. A discussion of creek bends becomes a lesson in short drifts, popping corks, trout depth, redfish ambushes, heavy bottom rigs, and cut crab. Bait gets the same treatment. Shrimp are useful but fragile, mud minnows are treated like survivors, blue crabs can sit in a bucket, and mullet may simply need to be thrown fresh the next morning. The show is funny without drifting away from the water. Fuel burn, high-horsepower boats, charter runs, tournament logistics, bait prices, and rough days when fish will not stay buttoned all become part of the same working conversation. It also has a strong local-business and community feel, with recurring bait shop references, marine sponsors, tournament registration details, raffles, divisions, weigh-ins, and nonprofit mentions. The pacing is loose and conversational. The value is specific. Listeners get a sense of what is changing week to week, from warming creeks and increasing fry to bluefish showing up ahead of Spanish mackerel, jacks, and ladyfish. Winter targets like reds, trout, and flounder give way to the anticipation of a more active season. This is not a broad outdoors lifestyle show. It is a forecast desk, dock report, and fishing-truck conversation rolled together for people who plan their time around tides, wind, bait, and the first good bite.
Made for: For Jacksonville and St. Augustine anglers who want practical local fishing intelligence before choosing a creek, inlet, bait, or tide window. It also suits listeners who enjoy casual captain talk with real weather and water detail.
What sets it apart: The show stands out by turning local conditions into usable decisions: where wind pushes water, how bait behaves overnight, and what seasonal fish movement means for a real trip. Its tone is more dockside field report than polished national fishing media.

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
The captains compare overnight bait storage, fresh mullet, and the cost of shrimp.
Keeping bait alive overnight gives this Fishing Forecast its focus. One captain says he has cut the shrimp he keeps from six dozen to five because shrimp die first among his baits. Mud minnows go into an aerating tank, blue crabs into a bucket, and the live wells run on timers.
Big fishing boats prompt a lively discussion of fuel use, speed and engine hours.
On the Ring Power Fishing Forecast Show, a mix-up between engine hours and miles per gallon sends the hosts into a question about big boats: what would a gallon per mile mean in practice? The possibility of burning six or seven hundred gallons in a day gets a startled reaction.
Creek fry and arriving bluefish give St. Augustine captains reason to expect a busier bite.
Fish keep coming unbuttoned for Captain Chip Wingo, even after he checks his hooks. Yet fry in the creeks and bluefish arriving around St. Augustine give him reason to think the bite is changing.
A practical tournament rundown with the warmth of a gathering the hosts are eager to attend.
The hosts walk through a fishing tournament with the easy anticipation of people looking forward to seeing everyone there. Registration is in person from 4 to 7, followed by a rules meeting at 7. Fishing starts at first light on Saturday.
A slow February redfish outing prompts talk of lower afternoon tides and the approach of spring.
Good water clarity, small fry and overcast skies had the captains expecting more from a February redfish outing. They caught a few, calling the bite slow but good. Their account gets useful when they describe staying on the fish for a while and working the lower afternoon tides.

Captain Leon Dana says Palm Valley water hit 73.3 degrees, with the best bite coming in creek holes, oyster beds, and back creeks on "pigs and shrimp." He also says black drum fishing works best on "the last hour of the outgoing" and "the first hour of the incoming," especially near Mayport rocks and Vilano rocks.
