Every week we bring you an "onshore" report for those anglers interested in a gulf shores surf fishing report or a gulf shores pier fishing report. This week we're talking to Chris Stewart who is giving us the Alabama Fishing report all the way from the Flora Bama to Fort Morgan. Chris has been very successful with targeting sheepshead from land, we get a report from the beach, and the Whiting are biting, listen to figure out what kind of rig you need and what kind of bait has been working. Chris has also been having success with redfish From a boat in the backwaters around Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. Captain Scott Kennedy reported he has been targeting sheepshead, redfish, and speckled trout in the tidal rivers and creeks around Baldwin County. He's been using fiddler crabs and a split shot rig to catch the sheepshead, and has found the trout bite to be excellent, especially early in the morning, using suspending twitch baits. He's been adjusting his leader strength and lure colors based on the clear water conditions. Kennedy also discussed the benefits of keeping a detailed fishing log to track patterns. Captain Bobby Abruscato said the fishing has been excellent in the tidal rivers and creeks around the Mobile Bay area, with trout and redfish biting well. He's been relying on the Slick Junior lure, using a light jighead to work it slowly and get it down in the water column. Abruscato emphasized the importance of paying attention to water levels, especially during extreme low tides, to access the best fishing areas. Chris Vecsey from Sam's Bait and Tackle in Orange Beach reported good numbers of trout and redfish in the rivers and creeks, with the falling tide being the most productive. He's also been catching some bonus species like tarpon and stripers. Vecsey discussed the increasing presence of snook in the area and encouraged anglers to report any catches to help collect data on this emerging fishery. It's all brought to you whether it's good, bad, or ugly.

On the evening of November 13, 1974, twenty-three-year-old Ronald DeFeo Jr. burst through the door of Henry's Bar in Amityville, Long Island, frantically yelling for help and telling the patrons that someone had killed his parents. When a small group returned to the house with DeFeo, they discovered that not only had his parents, Louise and Ronald Sr., been killed, but so had his four brothers and sisters—all shot to death in their beds with a .35 caliber rifle.During a police interview that night, investigators became suspicious of Ronald DeFeo. Not only was his story of a mob hit difficult to believe, but he seemed incapable of keeping certain aspects of his story straight during the interview. The next day, DeFeo broke down and confessed to the murders, explaining that he had hated his father and telling investigators, “Once I started [shooting], I just couldn't stop.”Ronald DeFeo's trial was one of New York's biggest news stories of 1975 and attracted considerable attention due to his attempt to mount an insanity defense and his frequent outbursts in the courtroom. In the end, the defense was unsuccessful and DeFeo was convicted of the murders and sentenced to life in prison. DeFeo's conviction should have been the end of the story, but it turned out it was only the beginning of what would eventually become one of the most notorious supernatural claims in American history.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!!ReferencesCarter, A.J., Soper Susan , Dallas Gatewood, and Sam Washington. 1974.

Susan Vecsey adapts the Color Field technique of pouring paint to create a personal language of abstraction, rooted in the natural world and the human experience of it. In a distinctive process that includes plein-air charcoal drawing, pastel and color studies, and multiple pours of liquefied oil on a surface of raw Belgian linen, she builds compositions in luminous tonal combinations that evoke the optical effects of sea, light, and air. Inspired by the landscapes of eastern Long Island, Vecsey's paintings evoke not just a place, but it's very atmosphere. Born in New Jersey in 1971, Vecsey earned her B.A. from Barnard College and her M.F.A. from the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture, where she studied with Graham Nickson. She has had solo exhibitions at Greenville County Museum in South Carolina, John Jermain Memorial Library in Sag Harbor, Tayloe Piggott Gallery in Jackson Hole, and Berry Campbell Gallery in New York, among other venues. She lives and works in Manhattan and East Hampton, Long Island. Susan Vecsey (b. 1971) Untitled (Gray), 2022 Oil on linen 52 x 58 in.

Veteran sports journalist George Vecsey finally gives this twenty-time All-Star and St. Louis Cardinals icon the biographical treatment he deserves. Stan Musial is the definitive portrait of one of the game’s best-loved but most unappreciated legends—told through the remembrances of those who played beside, worked with, and covered “Stan the Man” over the course of his nearly seventy years in the national spotlight. Away from the diamond, Musial proved a savvy businessman and a model of humility and graciousness toward his many fans in St. Louis and around the world. From Keith Hernandez’s boyhood memories of Musial leaving tickets for him when the Cardinals were in San Francisco to the little-known story of Musial’s friendship with novelist James Michener, Vecsey weaves an intimate oral history around one of the great gentlemen of baseball’s Greatest Generation.

It's the Futhamuckin' 4th of July or as many call it, BARBECUE DAY. You're gonna travel to get 'a plate' from someone's BBQ, so you may as well listen as Dean talks about Vecsey refusing to eat ice cream out of a cone, BET's recent Prince tribute, and as Dean teases about a new project that he and Joseph collaborated on. Don't get any sauce on your fresh new white linen. We in the Building, son!
Joseph Vecsey returns to TFP as he and Dean dedicate the episode to reviewing the recent Bad Boy Reunion concert that took place downtown Brooklyn at the Barclay's Center. Listen as they reminisce about that era of Hip Hop, Puffy's indelible imprint on pop culture and as they also argue whether Pharoahe Monch's "SIMON SEZ" has the equivalent head nod factor as Black Rob's "WHOA". Special TFP salute to Vecsey's Mom Dukes for her love of Hip Hop & for bringing a young Joseph to Puff Daddy & The Family's "NO WAY OUT" Tour 19 years ago as well as them seeing Puff in concert again recently(This is an actual photo of Vecsey's program from the original "NO WAY OUT" Tour). We in the Building, son!
Before Woj, before Marc Stein, before Marc Spears, before any of the NBA national reporters we all follow on Twitter, there was Peter Vecsey. If you're old enough to have watched the NBA in the 90's, you remember him as the know-everything guy on NBC's broadcasts. Vecsey retired from the New York Post in 2011, and lives on Long Island with his wife of 37 years, whose name he did not say during our rambling, 1 1/4-hour chat. We did talk about the Warriors and how they would stack up against the great teams in history (not so well), the 1975 Warriors and Rick Barry, and the ABA, which Vecsey covered closely back in the day. I hope you enjoy this Crossover Chronicles Podcast with Peter Vecsey.It's a long one, so get make sure your device is plugged in.
Comedian Joe Vecsey is here as we discuss: how Dante help him deal with his relationship, dealing with a chick’s ex, women’s emotional state, being too nice, and getting taken advantage of.
Joe Vecsey met me at the basketball courts in Stuytown for a talk about the And 1 Mixtape years of streetball. Joe grew up playing with all of them as a kid in New York. We talk all about Rucker Park, and the great rivalries in the big tournaments, what life was like on those courts, the smoothest players, everything. Meet us at the playground.

Guess who's Bizack? Immediately following his weekend headlining Levity Live, Dean sits down with Joseph Vecsey who returns to the living room to toss it up immediately after hosting Dean's weekend at Levity Live. We catch up with Joseph as he discusses dealing with his nerves when performing in front of comedians that he admires. They also compare hosting to doing a set. Then the two hash out why it's important to talk to friends directly & not via text as they clear up a text misunderstanding. We In the Building, son! Follow @JosephVecsey Follow@Iamdeanedwards
Dean's in a silly mood while celebrating his 50th episode & allows a mild schizophrenia to overtake him as he describes a conversation with Chris Rock, JB Smoove & Tracy Morgan regarding casting the film, TOP FIVE. He also discusses diversity and Mexicans in Hollywood, Dane Cook's new comedy special and comedians that reminisce instead of actually telling jokes. With Christmas fast approaching, he recalls animated holiday specials, returning to his alma mater to perform and the tragedy of "NOONER'S". Vecsey has an audition, so Dean freely nerds out about the new Star Wars trailer and asks the TFP Fam what time on Monday do they prefer to receive the new episodes, before closing with his thoughts on the Eric Garner case.
Dean has Vecsey on as they reflect on Eddie Murphy's UPTOWN COMEDY EXPRESS & Robert Townsend's PARTNERS IN CRIME series of HBO Specials which served as the genesis of the Urban Comedy explosion by premiering the likes of Chris Rock, Arsenio Hall, Barry Sobel, Robin Harris, Paul Mooney & Keenen Ivory, Damon & the rest of the Wayans clan. The guys also discuss Damon Dash's unconventional business protocol, the end of Roc-A-Fella Records' Dynasty and loyalty in the rap game. Finally they address the car accident that put friends, Ardie Fuqua, Harris Stanton, Tracy Morgan and Jeff (the road manager) in ICU, and unfortunately took the life of friend and comic Uncle Jimmy Mack. They also discuss how people use social media to exploit their own agenda.
Well, not really the worst episode unless you can't stand my voice. This episode my co-producer interviews me about some stories I have about how big guests like Chris Rock and Garry Shandling came on, Chris Tucker introducing me to Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston as a kid, how my podcast is completely different from everyone else's, my And1 street ball background, going to film school, getting to take acting classes with the legendary acting coach Larry Moss, and more!
Harris Stanton joins Dean & Vecsey for another convo as Dean reminisces on getting booked because he had a car, the trouble with fraternizing with college students and Joseph dealing with an overzealous comic who's ego was bigger than his actual funny.
Dean & Joseph discuss 6 degrees of Vecsey, Madonna vs. Miley & Rihanna and PUSHA T's newest album and Worldstar Hip Hop
Today we have a very special podcast. We are delighted to have spent over an hour with Peter Vecsey. Peter is a Hall of Fame NBA columnist and is well known for his post match grilling of players. We get his views on the now infamous 1997 Karl Malone interview, as well as a few fantastic insights into his relationships with some of the games best, from Kobe Bryant and his parents, to Pat Riley and Michael Jordan. This is a thoroughly enjoyable journey through the National Basketball Association. Peter tries in vain to name a Top Five of all time and states Kobe Bryant is as good as Jordan. You can also find out which NBA personality Peter thinks is stupid.....which you do not want to miss and we even get his views on expanding the NBA as a global brand.
