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 took a trip to Florida to go fishing cause there isn't anything better to do. The first time I was in the Keys, it caught my heart, and I made it a yearly trip into my new home. These waters are known for Redfish and Snapper Snoop, and I will show you how to catch them. I love going into the Everglades and fishing with live bait on a jighead for whatever bites.
