Awesome bait and tackle shop for all your fishing and hunting needs in St Augustine Florida!
The Avid Angler began in September 1995 by Tommy Vaughan
and his family. It began as a small store in a strip mall just north
of the St. Augustine city limits on Ponce de Leon Blvd. or U.S. 1.
Gradually the inventory grew and the store became known for
having items that others did not have.
