Austin Nelson

Member since April 2023 Key Largo, United States
Background
I grew up in Pennsylvania and now run trips out of Key Largo aboard a 19' Skiff. I have worked tirelessly to study and understand the waters of the Keys to provide you with the most exciting fishing trip possible! The first time I was in the Keys, it caught my heart, and I turned a yearly fishing trip into my career and new home. These waters are known for Redfish, Snapper, and Snook. I will show you how to catch them and what fishing in the keys is all about. I love going into the Everglades and fishing with live bait on a jighead for great rod bend.
