Show 268: Christmas Special 2025

Merry Christmas everyone! We have a tradition on this show to do a very special episode for Christmas. This is my gift to you and I hope you will enjoy it with friends, family and loved ones, but especially with your kids and grandkids. This show is about the things that matter.... hint, it isn’t the stuff. It is the people and the memories, things no amount of money can buy.

So, I share a couple of my top recipes, give you a brief guide to fishing in my region, a little history of Calabash NC, talk a little about Napolean and JEB Stewart, but most of all I wish you and yours a very merry Christmas!
