My friend and I went fishing in the Everglades with Captain Alex Zapata for a full day on August 28, 2019. We had a great time. Captain Alex knows these waters like the back of his hand. During the day, he presented us with a multitude of opportunities to catch tarpon, snook, ladyfish, sea trout, etc. We caught many species of fish and jumped several large tarpon along the way. Captain Alex is a true professional, keenly focused on customer satisfaction. I wouldn't hesitate to engage Alex again on another fishing adventure.
Awesome trip, would definitely go again with Alex and learned a lot about the salt water fly technique
This was a day I promised my 11 year old and it really delivered,capt Alex is not only very knowledgeable but also a great guy to spend a day with.I strongly recommend him to all anglers
Dad and 14 yr old son had an awesome, perfect day of fishing with Captain Alex - caught tarpon, snook, sea trout, jack, ladyfish and hooked a redfish. Saw crocodile, porpoise, and birds. Captain Alex was professional, knowledgeable and patient. He knows lots of good spots! Great guide! Thanks fishingbooker.com!
Had a great time with Arthur and Colin. It was great to watch Arthur catch all his firsts!! He sure has a great passion for fishing! Thank you so much Denisse. Hope to see you guys again soon.
Everything is what it should have been except the fish did not cooperate.

I'm always willing to work hard for your success, whether you are a serious hardcore flyfisherman, tournament angler or a beginner just looking to bend a rod. Smiles is what I fish for!
