With Captain John and first mate Nick at the helm, you’ll benefit from years of knowledge and experience. Check us out on Facebook at “A Slice of Life Fishing” to see more details, and inquire about booking direct!

These waters are home to Red Snapper, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Vermilion Snapper, Amberjack, Spanish Mackerel, Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, Wahoo, Gray Triggerfish, Great Barracuda, Blackfin Tuna, and more, depending on conditions. For these species, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Trips with A Slice of Life Fishing are great for kids, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Don’t forget to bring snacks and cold beverages to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

Your boat for the day is a brand new 2024 32’ Cobia center console with twin Yamaha 300 engines that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has outriggers, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a head on board for your convenience. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. It’s customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

A couple items to bring include beverages and snacks, alcoholic beverages are allowed. Hats, sunblock and sunglasses are recommended.

Captain John & Nick are the best!!

4 Hour Trip (AM) on November 19, 2025 • 2 adults

This was our 3rd fishing charter of the year (not with these guys) and it was by far the best! Not only were Captain John and First Mate Nick very knowledgeable, they were so much fun to fish with! It was our first trip out in Florida and we both felt so comfortable with them, they were both so helpful. We had a blast just bait fishing, the bigger catches were just a bonus. It was an amazing day fishing with a great crew, the boat was phenominal (our favorite yet) and they landed us right on the fish. Best day of our vacation!! We already want to come back to fish with them again.

Great fishing trip with our friends!

4 Hour Trip (PM) on October 15, 2025 • 6 adults

We scheduled a 4 hour afternoon trip with Capt John and Nick after taking our family out last year. This year we had two other couples we vacation with that have very little fishing experience. Capt John and Nick did an amazing job of getting us on fish and explaining how to get them in the boat. We first trolled a bit and caught Mahi and a Bonita then bottom fished and got Red Grouper, Red Snapper, a Cobia, Trigger fish, and King Mackrel. everybody had a great time. We would definitely recommend A Slice of Life to anyone interested in a offshore trip. We will be scheduling future trips with them for sure. We finished our trip at Stewbys, who prepared our catch and it was amazing.

We took a 6hr morning trip to the gulf and had a blast.

6 Hour Trip (AM) on July 21, 2025 • 4 adults

I absolutely loved our trip with these guys. We had a great day on the water and ended up catching a keeper 21lb cobia, several keeper red snappers, kingfish, red groupers , several triggers but they weren’t in season so we didn’t keep them. We hooked up on several beast of sharks that ended up winning the battle but still had a blast and will definitely book with these gentleman again. One more thing is My son is 14 and is true love is fishing and he wants to actually be a charter captain one day. The captain and deckhand noticed his passion for fishing and went above and beyond to make his trip special. When we got back to the docks they put new line on all his rods and set them up like a pro. I will be reaching out soon to them to book another trip maybe in the fall and this will be a longer trip to go out more and try to land some big boys. Thanks again A slice of life charters.

Epic Day!

8 Hour Trip on September 29, 2025 • 4 adults

Headed out at 0600 to questionable weather conditions. It was a bit choppy while we caught cigar minnows for bait (fun) headed out to troll for game fish, we had steady action for several hours, doubled up on Mahi and king mackerel. Moved to another spot after the waves died down to bottom fish for grouper, several fish caught but no keepers. Hooked up with a couple sharks witch was a blast. John and Nick were great, friendly and knowledgeable. I was also impressed by the beautiful boat and excellent equipment. Thanks guys
