A2 Fishing Charters (Choko)

A-Squared Charters has been one of anglers’ favorite charters for many years. Captain Armando has been putting people on fish for years out of Key Largo. Now, you have a chance to start your adventure from the other side of the Everglades, and board in Choko.

These trips take place on a 23’ Pathfinder as well. This bay boat is powered by a 250 HP Yamaha engine and quickly reaches any fishing spot you want to visit. There’s enough room for anglers to fish in comfort, so you can share the adventure with your loved ones. The boat also features a trolling engine, GPS, and top-notch fishing equipment.

Explore the backcountry of the Everglades National Park and target a variety of species. You can go after Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, and Spotted Seatrout. After the trip is over, the captain will clean and fillet your catch free of charge.

A big part of the experience on this charter is Capt. Armando’s hospitality and friendliness. He’ll easily make any novice angler feel comfortable and start landing fish like it was their hobby for some time. Your guide is also sponsored by several marine industry leaders, which ensured he has the best fishing equipment, ready to serve you.

Besides the equipment, Captain. Armando also covers your fishing licenses, so you only need to pack your sun protection, snacks, and some drinks.

About the Captain

Armando Alejo
Chokoloskee, Florida, United States
63 Fishing Reports
ID & License verified
171 Customer reviews
Member since May 2017
Captain Armando's dad took him fishing at about the age of 6. It didn't take long for him to explore this hobby as he took any available free time to go fish. On his 17th birthday, he and his brother DJ, also a charter captain took to the Flamingo Everglades not having a clue what to expect. It was on this trip that Armando caught his first Redfish, and simply never looked back. In his teenage years, Armando idolized the "Spanish Fly" Jose Wejebe and aspired to be just like him. Armando has achieved humble success in the industry, the highlights include entry and wins into local and national tournaments and a TV commercial for his sponsor at the time, Evinrude engines. At close to 200 FIVE star reviews, Armando takes pride in showing his clients what he knows about fishing the Flamingo Everglades for the past three decades. Quite simply, there isn't a Captain in the area that has the experience Armando has- jump aboard and be pampered by world class customer service! A2 Fishing Charters
