Eric Reynolds

Member since October 2014 Key Largo, United States
Background
I grew up in South Florida and my father was a FWC (Florifa Wildlife Commition) officer down here for 36 years. He taught me the love of the outdoors and conservation for our fragile ecosystem. From that, my love for being on the water evolved into teaching and showing other people that don't have the privilege to experience our ecosystem that we have to offer.
Techniques
Our style of fishing is more lay back and enjoy the day, tell some stories, catch some fish and have some laughs. I love to entertain our clients, making sure they will be back to fish with us again
