Alec Nickel

Member since May 2024 Sturgeon Bay, United States
Background
My name is Alec Nickel and I have been fishing since I was 3 years old. My Grandparents have been in the Taxidermy Industry for over 45 years and my Grandpa taught me all of my fishing and hunting skills growing up. I am a "River Rat" and I have been fishing the Rock River, Mississippi River, and Wisconsin River since I was a kid! I started a YouTube channel in 2020 and began producing videos for myself and others to enjoy. I learned shortly after starting my YouTube Channel, that I wanted to share my passion of fishing with as many people as I could. I love teaching people how to fish and helping them catch their next Trophy. I work really well with children and love getting them into the outdoors. I look forward to seeing you in the future and enjoying some time on the water to chase Walleye, Smallmouth, Salmon or Perch!
