Local Slayer – 25'
+13Excited to go fishing in Cedar Key? Make it happen, with Local Slayer!
Depending on conditions, you might hook into Redfish, Speckled Trout, Snook, Flounder, Pompano, African Pompano Jack, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, Blacktip Shark, Bonnethead Shark, Bull Shark, Tiger Shark, and who knows what else! On these trips, it’s common to drift and bottom fish using light tackle.
Local Slayer is a child-friendly charter service, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!
You’ll be dropping lines from a 25’ Scandy-White skiff that holds up to 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water.
Capt. Daniel will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Have in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.
It’s recommended to bring bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that daydream into a reality, with Local Slayer.

Very good time
Half Day Trip (PM) on April 21, 2025
My stepson so and two grandchildren went out with captain Steven and haad a very good time. We caught some nice sea trout, silver trout and a big Black drum. We all had a nice time and if you were in a spot that wasn't producing he would move to a new spot. Good time give him a try I don't think you will be disappointed.

What an amazing fishing trip.
Half Day Trip (PM) on November 30, 2024
My fiancee and I chartered Local Slayer, Captain Dan and his mate Steve, for a private trip. Not only did we catch fish, we laughed, swapped stories and made new friends. The experience was worth every penny, which wasn't expensive to begin with. We plan on making this a monthly event and looking forward to chatting it up with Captain Dan and mate Steve, and of course hopefully catching fish.
