[Narrator] Coming up this week on Bob Redford’s Outdoor Magazine. Bob takes a look at the at the best of 2019. It’s a look back from the best hunting fishing moments this past year. Plus, on this year’s Sportsman’s table, we feature a South Carolina seafood recipe from Deck 383 in Murrell’s Inlet. All this and a whole lot more and it begins right now.

It’s just been a great day!

Who shot this?

Look at that, wow!

Nice!

[Bob] Folks, this week we’re on location in Norwich, Kansas. A trophy book of outdoor outfitters, filming for 2020. 2019 was another great year to be in the outdoors and I had a chance of a lifetime to hunt and fish in some of the greatest locations in America with some very special folks. As you know, we’re always taking you to some very special destinations around the country. And that’s what brings us to Kansas today. We’ve traveled to Kansas over the past few years and you’ve seen us do some shows out there. But I’ve really only had the chance to do some spring turkey hunting. Folks, this is going to be my first trip to Kansas where I’m going to have the opportunity to take a big buck and do some duck hunting while we’re out here. What a great combination that’s going to be. You know, my first look back on this week’s show it’s another great combo hunt but this time it was back in the South Carolina low country. Night hog hunting and doing one of my favorite things in the outdoors and that’s quail hunting behind some awesome bird dogs, all in the matter of 12 hours. Let’s take a look at our low country combo hunt, this week, right down in South Carolina.

Got a pretty nice sized hog, just decided to come out. Folks, I’m using my ATM night vision scope mounted on my Browning BAR 308 caliber. It’s a great tool option for hog hunting here at night. Here down at Cedar Knoll, again, the guys really got these stands in strategic places up. He’s not sure he’s ready to come out. Hi, come on guys. Alright, he’s getting a little bit braver. Come on. Still something he’s not liking out there. Okay, maybe it’s the light. He’s looking right at it. Okay here we go. Maybe we’re going to settle down here. Alright, this may be my shot. Here comes another one, he’s even bigger. This one here is probably a little over 200. But again, at about 195 yards, it’s hard to tell. Don’t leave. I’d much rather take the other one behind him but that’s okay. Sometimes if you wait too long, they decide to scurry and not come back. Maybe this one is going to cooperate here.

I know I was looking here and I seen the birds are in between. You all want to come up a little more here. You get close just shoot that little hog . I can see this is going to be a tough crowd this morning.

Yes sir.

Don’t be too hard on me Hayward.

Nah.

Find them Blue, find them.

We got little Blue.

We’re fixing to find them.

Oh yeah.

Well I got my two!

I didn’t get mine, I winged them.

Alright! Well folks joining me now is a good friend of mine Joey Robinson, he’s a quail hunter, a duck hunter, a fishing guide. He lives down in South Carolina right near Sante and I tell you what, Joey has invited us to come down and join him on the deer and duck hunting adventure in Kansas, at Travis Steven’s place at Big Trophy Bucks of Kansas Outfitters. Joey I want to thank you again for

Glad you came. Coaching us, for coming out here. I know we’re out duck hunting this morning and

It’s good. Well you know, it’s hunting okay?

That’s right. And we’re having a chance to kind of catch our breath a little bit.

Yeah.

We’ve had birds come in, but one of the things that often intrigues me about guys that have the passion like you. You’ve been coming out here for over 20 years. What brings you coming out every year?

The deer, the ducks, the people out here are super, nice people. This is just a way of life that I love, I’ve always loved it.

You told me many times, this is your vacation.

It is, it’s a vacation to myself.

Well, there’s not too many guys that can unhook from the family and the wife and say I’ll see you when I see you.

I’m lucky I have a good one.

Exactly we all are, that’s really for us that has the passion for the outdoors like you. You got 50 years of duck hunting around your neck.

Yeah.

You got all those bands around your neck, I know you really love it.

It’s been a ride.

You’ve got Rooster, your dedicated lab, will travel. I mean one of those things I enjoy is being around guys just like you who understand what it’s like to be in the outdoors. And we’re getting fewer and farther between.

Yeah, we need to get more kids involved in it. Bring more kids and their parents also, get them involved in it. Let’s take a sneak peak at some of our duck hunting action we had.

Absolutely.

We’ve been out here, we’ve been at it hard, man, every morning .

It’s been a tough week.

Yeah, I tell you, it’s always tough out here.

Well folks, I tell you what, let’s take a look at our action from earlier duck hunting this week. And maybe we’ll be able to take some sneak footage of what’s coming up in 2020.

Here, here.

Rooster’s gone again.

Come on, come here.

Nice again bro.

Perfect pair. Man.

Good start in the morning.

That Travis listens, I’m telling you.

Best duck hunting.

Listen, it’s probably the best duck hunting I’ve probably had in my lifetime. Folks, we are in Kansas just outside of Norwich Kansas not too far from Wichita. We came in, drove all night long, 18 plus hours to get here. Travis Stevens, the property owner right here, man, I’ll tell you what I’ll introduce Joey Robinson from South Carolina. He’s got Rooster the dog, he’s going to get these first two ducks that we got down. I’ll tell you, I don’t know how, Joey has kept this, Travis, is the best kept secret from me and him only living 30 miles from me in South Carolina. Rooster finally got to work. We’re here in Norwich Kansas, where Trophy Bucks of Kansas Outfitters and I’m actually trying to get one of these big hummers on camera. And, probably, a buck of my lifetime, they’re here. They grow bigger, badder, and I tell you what, antlers like this and we’re already had a chance to see some of those. And I know, you’re going to get a sneak peak in 2020. But, looking back at some of our hunts over the past year I had some great opportunities to do a lot of great things in the outdoors, but one I really value the most is I was able to do some deer hunting on my property up in South Carolina and I tell you what, I just want to show you a little of that deer hunting footage that we have for 2019. I am about 54 yards from iy. I look to my left there’s that itty bitty ugly looking buck. A young one, and I’m coming back, and it’s time and I’m going to take the shot. Well folks, joining me again is Joey Robinson from South Carolina. You know Joey and I did a show several years ago, together, and it was just an awesome opportunity to showcase one of his championship bird dogs. Joey, if you had the opportunity to give some advice to folks who either own a bird dog, want to own bird dog, or love quail hunting, I want you to think about one of those tips that you provide.

Okay, we’ll do that.

But right now what I want you to do is hold that thought because I know there’s a lot of tips that we could give.

Oh yeah.

I’ve had bird dogs over the years, as well, but you hold that thought because, first folks, I want to take you all to south Georgia and take a look at some quail hunting action we had the opportunity to do in 2019.

Come here.

Come on up Mike.

Alright, Dixie, help us out.

Nicely done, guys, I got two down.

Dixie says there’s birds in here.

I see one.

Right there.

Man, I’m on fire today.

I’ll tell you bud, you are! Man! I’d call you quick draw Mcgraw! Alright, Joey, I promised all the folks out there that you’d provide them with a tip about training a bird dog, keeping a bird dog, and if they want if they wanted to quail hunt. What would you provide them is the best advice to those guys out there or gals who want to bird dog.

Very first thing is finding the best trainer you can find, after that, find time to take your dog out. There’s nothing like working a dog, you have to spend time with them to get good dogs. Thirdly, keep them in good shape, that’s the main thing. When you get a good one, hang onto him.

Absolutely, you have and I’ve had the opportunity to have 6, or 8, 10 of them over my life time. And you’re right, if you don’t have the opportunity to put them in birds at least two or three times a week – –

Right. And that’s year round, it’s just not doing them service.

And take them out west, Kansas, Missouri, different places, take them out where they have plentiful birds and get them in those birds. Doesn’t matter where you go, just get them in the birds and work them Well, that’s great advice out there. You know folks I tell you what. Stay tuned, when we come back I’m going to take you on the boat and we’re going to be doing some great fishing action. And showing you some of that footage and some of the best of 2019.

Bob Redfern’s “Outdoor Magazine” is being brought to you today by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, life’s just better outdoors. Buy Berkley, catch more fish with Berkley fishing products, by Ranger Boats, still building legends one at a time, by Browning ammunition, Browning, the best there is, and by Southern Woods Plantations, voted one of the top quail hunting destinations in America. You know, folks, weather in 2019 played a major factor in all of our fishing trips. Extreme cold in the winter and we experienced some big, bad summer heat which was not always the best conditions for fishing. But, despite the ups and downs, we were out there doing it and we still had some great fishing opportunities around the country with some very special folks. Let’s take a look at some of that action from 2019.

You got him.

That’s a little better.

Get him, get him, yeah man.

That will work.

[Bob] Oh!

Okay slow down

[Bob] Yeah you getting him?

See if I could keep from sticking the hook in my hand.

All right get him. Here, I got the rod.

Usually when I get on TV I usually do at least one dumb thing!

Well not today!

Every time!

Man the fog just cleared, I mean you know.

Maybe that was my dumb thing for today!

Nah man I tell you what, you doing good bro! Doing good! Mmm hmmm! Now look, we’re gonna take just a second and tell everybody about your guide service okay? Cause, now folks you’ve seen Craig on the show over the last several years. He is a guide out of North Carolina and we fish a good bit up there with him. But he also brings his clients down here to South Carolina, to Lake Murray, to Lake Wateree.. Well, I’ll let you tell them the rest. Okay?

Yeah that’s right, I mean really Lake Wateree is a continuation of the Catawba River which I live on up at Lake Norman. And technically it is the Wateree River down here but it all flows into Santi Cooper and they’re just you know nutrient rich, bait rich lakes. And they grow lot of stripers down here and my customers enjoy coming down, fishing somewhere different and got a much higher creole down here. So, if they are inclined then put meat in the boat if not then we catch a lot of fish, release them and catch them again the next time!

But we love having you guys down here okay? And I tell you what, I really like this cause I’m only thirty minutes from my house! Oh man, all right lets get it back in the water! Mm!

[Host] Stay tuned, when we come back more striper fishing from Lake Wateree!

[Host] Bob Redfern’s Outdoor Magazine is being brought to you today by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources Life’s just better outdoors! Abu Garcia, Abu Garcia, for life!

[Bob] I think he did you know, he wasn’t one of the bigger ones we caught today but that’s okay, yeah you know? Now that the fog is cleared. Mm! All right we are just going to go let you take your picture.

[Craig] Well, oh, got another one on right!

All right get him, get him..

Aw, it came off

Oh no!

He broke, he broke the line.

Did he break.. Oh my goodness, that could have been the horse we were looking for!

That’s the guides fault!

Yeah right, I don’t think so though, I don’t think so. Now that ain’t a picture? Look at that, he wanted that gizzard shed big time huh he wanted big.. Gosh, that gizzard shed almost big as he was. Look at that folks, look at that!

[Craig] There’s some fish right here.

Yeah man, yeah there are, get on back in there! And I’ll let you have the gizzard shed. All right ah! Mm, there we go! Hoo hoo! You know folks I gotta tell you about what we’re fishing with today and I’m going to leave this one in here. This is the Shakespeare ugly stick striper rod matched with the striper special reel from Abu Garcia. Now I’ve got it wound with twenty pound Berkeley braid. And this is just a great combination, I tell you what! I’ll take it out of here, just gingerly. But this is a great rod, for doing exactly what we’re doing today. Okay, for the good folks at Pure Fishing, Abu Garcia the striper special and the ugly stick striper right here. I tell you what these are just awesome combination. Okay, all right Craig.

[Craig] Well, I don’t know if you can see this fish again but it’s certainly worth circling around here.

Plus they’ve been kind of up towards the top today.

Yeah, yeah.

You know this one interesting thing about down here and even some of the other South Carolina lakes is you know we’re out in the middle of the river channel but its still only thirty feet deep.

Yeah yeah I know.

Those fish will feed up in the upper part of the water column even under bright conditions.

[Bob] All right Craig, fish on! Hoo hoo hooo hoooo!

[Craig] There you go, finally got one on that damn rod!

Oh that damn rod, yeah man! Oh!

[Craig] Oh oh just had another bob on me!

Oh that striper special? Mm. Okay?

[Craig] Yeah that was a good little pot of fish right here.

Yeah, okay. Oh man, yeah..

[Craig] Oh yeah another, let me get in here..

There you go let me back up again, that’s good, okay.

[Craig] Come here buddy!

[Bob] Hoo hoo hoo! Uh!

[Craig] He ready on the hot rod!

[Bob] Okay!

[Craig] Easy

[Bob] Mm hmmm…. Well you know I tell you its just been kind of this side and then this side you know we’re lightly trawling here today folks I mean I’m moving.. I got the trawling motor set on about five, light and variable winds and really you know the conditions are just bright. Other than when we started earlier today this morning.

There you go!

Yeah man yeah! Other than when we started this morning gosh it was foggy you couldn’t even see two feet in front of yourself you know? But, I guess..

We do it again?

Yeah let’s get her re-baiting man! You know its just..and these are good quality fish, when you think about it Craig!

I’ll take them.

Yeah man. All day long! Huh! You know I’m so glad you talked me into coming fishing today, you know that?

Well its good to have options you know?

Always good to have options you know? Mmmm! Mm mm mmmmm! Planer board on the left, planer board on the right, drifters in the back and down rods in the front.

Yup, cause we originally talked about going small mouth fishing

I know!

And we’re going to do that!

And we are going to do that okay I could tell you. On a later episode we’re going to head up to Lake Lure, Lake James, this guys going to put us up on some small mouth up in North Carolina. So, you just like Paul though you do it all! Huh? Mmm mmm!

Yeah, its fun to break up the monotony of doing the same thing on the same lake all the time, you know?

Oh yeah yeah, yeah, well you know one of the great things you know I get a chance to course be in destination is our thing every week we get the chance to meet up with so many guides. And I have to say that on camera; one of the big true testaments of what our viewers watch is guides and they watch their body language and its one of those questions.. Can I fish with that guy on that boat all day long? And you’re one of those special guides okay? You just have a great demeanor, you’re very patient okay? Whether it’s..they want to bring their wives, they want to bring their kids. Whatever they’re bass fisherman, okay they’re bassholes? Hah? Man you’ll even fish them too so, just go to Bob stop sixteen and you’ll find Fish On’s guide service right there. Contact Craig and come on, I’ll tell you what.

[Bob] Folks welcome to this weeks edition of the Sportsman’s Table. We are here at Deck 383 on the beautiful Waccamaw river right in Murrells inlet and joining me today is my guest chef, is Tom Mellali. He is well I tell you what he is a chef instructor good friend of our shows and he always produces a great recipe! Right here at deck 383 here my friend!

[Chef Tom] Well Bob, how are you sir?

Well welcome back!

Thank you very much!

Okay what do you got for us this week?

Little fresh local Berkshire pork we’re going to go pork tenderloin today the Cadillac of the cut of meats on the pig.

Oh, okay.

And as you know us chefs have a deep respect for the pig.

Oh yeah!

We’re in the south you gotta go a little pig in your diet you know how that runs.

I know.

So no bland food allowed, we’re going to lightly season it with some salt and pepper.

Oh yeah.

Again, this is pork tenderloin, very tasty.

[Bob] Now, you know Tom I have to ask you is this something I know you do straight catering you do catering all around Murrell Beach.

I do, I do.

Is this kind of a staple dish that the folks like?

Yeah it’s extremely popular for sure and again it’s the best cut of the pork..

I got you.

So that, always popular goes well with many different items. You could change your starch up as you know, you could have roasted potatoes, rice, rissoto whatever your cravings happen to be that day. But always fresh and local, that’s how we roll.

There you go, how long will you gonna cook this bit?

We’re gonna sear all sides, it’s probably going to take about two to three minutes to sear all sides and then after that this is a little thicker cut. We are going to finish it off in the oven and then we will be ready to plate it up.

Right

You want to get that nice golden dark brown in there. By searing meat it holds in the juices, it acts as an insulation so that the meat stays nice and tender for us.

[Chef Tom] Okay Bob, it look’s like it’s ready to go. Let’s start plating.

[Bob] MM man, pork tenderloin I tell you. You know, great cut of that, course you, you just know, just how to cut it too.

[Chef Tom] I do, I like going at an angle like this on a slight bias, it makes it a little bit easier to fan it. And me personally I don’t want my pork well done but then again we don’t want to have it mid rare as well. So I kind of like a little pink in my pork, like medium to mid-well. So it’s not dried, and this is some local rice we’re big on rice here in the south and I, I chopped a little fresh basil in there

[Bob] Oh wow!

And now we are going to fan our pork tenderloin.

[Bob] Mmm!

Again you can see just a little pink in there it’s a nice medium that’s definitely the way I like it so it stays nice and moist not too dry. And as you can see Bob the plate is starting to come alive. Got fresh and roasted red and yellow bell peppers, a little broccoli, porchini mushrooms and naturally the vegetable that is a little of a personal preference. You can change things up along the way, whatever tickles your fancy so to speak.

[Bob] Mmm!

It’s really coming alive and again the color of the vegetables I feel just really add to it. They.. eat with the eyes first so you want to have a nice beautiful plate presentation. This is a little red wine sauce, going to go really nice. We’re going to drizzle that right behind the pork. And as you can tell the plate starts to come alive, and that’s our finished product!

And that’s why you’re a chef huh?

That’s it, that’s it.

Tom thanks again for a great menu..
