It’s OFFICIALLY a Great Day for the Outdoors | OS 1446

The guys made their way to the studio for this episode reveling about the weather. As Jeff put it – it was one of the best mornings EVER. EV-VER!

And what a great day to have great weather – 9/26 is National Hunting & Fishing Day! It’s a time to recognize generations of sportsmen and women for their contributions to the conservation of our nation’s rich sporting heritage and natural resources (okay, that’s what the official website says…). For the boys, it’s time to raise a glass to everyone who hunts, shoots and fishes! Click HERE to visit the website and learn more.

Lots of good news about the fishing and shrimping, but it wasn’t all good news. First Coast anglers finally got their expanded snapper season…but boy, the regs have made it a hot mess. Capt. Chad Starling called in to sort it out. You need to listen, but you may also want to have a piece of paper, a sharp pencil and a calculator handy. Good grief…

Now when the temperature starts to fall, the guys look at the calendar. And today, the fact this this was their final September show, they couldn’t help but start talking about hunting. Lots of chatter about feeders, baiting and all the stuff that pulls them in.

This show was in the middle of a Harvest Moon, which led to a few stories about how bright that moon can get when you’re in the woods. Well, that brought up jacklighting, which brought up all things jack: jackwagons, jackrabbits, jacka$$es, jack squat, and the ultimate question: what’s the deal with the word “jack”?
