About Us

Life on the Line is...

A one-of-a-kind bait delivery service servicing the Florida Keys. My name is Matthew Braden Angell and I am the Owner/Operator of Life on the Line. Originally from Tampa, Florida, I have been fishing all of my life. From all the years on the water, I have come to appreciate the importance of quality bait. I have spent countless hours searching for bait, learning how to catch, keep, and use it. In doing so, I have learned how difficult that can be. I also understand that when people come to the Keys to go fishing they don't want to spend hours looking for live bait or buy low-end, frozen bait that has been in the freezer for centuries. We want to provide the best bait for fishermen, because less time catching bait is more time fishing. We deliver all of our live bait orders to your boat or bait pen via truck and guarantee live delivery on all orders.

If you're a tournament fisherman or just down for vacation, give Life on the Line a call to book a delivery today!
