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

    La deuxième fois, c'est la bonne

    Sortie de 6 heures (3/4 de journée)

    Nous avons choisi de passer nos grandes vacances en famille en allant pêcher dans l'arrière-pays avec le Capt. Armando. Il a tout rendu si simple, de la réservation à la préparation, jusqu'à la pêche elle-même. Il s'est assuré que nous pêchions là où les poissons mordaient, en lançant avec expertise vers les spots les plus prometteurs. Quand les poissons ont arrêté de mordre, il nous a emmenés au prochain endroit. Ma fille de 15 ans a fini par battre tous les pêcheurs du bateau en ramenant 4 poissons à garder, dont la plus grande truite de mer tachetée que nous ayons jamais vue. J'ai même réussi à ramener le plus grand Redfish de la sortie après n'avoir eu aucun succès à attraper des poissons à garder. Nous avons tous passé un moment fantastique ! Les souvenirs inoubliables de cette journée vivront à travers nos vantardises et nos histoires de pêche. Merci Capt. Armando

    Super journée avec un super guide

    6 heures - Vétéran/Premier intervenant • 2 adultes

    Armondo a rendu la réservation de la sortie et la mise à l'eau sans effort. C'est un guide extrêmement compétent qui nous a immédiatement mis sur de beaux Sébaste. Nous avons atteint notre limite de Sébaste dès 7h30, suivis de quelques Pompaneau lune et truites de mer. Nous avons passé le reste de la sortie à chasser le Tarpon, en avons aperçu quelques-uns, et avons également traqué le Grand tambour. Nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir à attraper deux espèces différentes de Poisson-chat et de carangues. Nous avons passé un moment fantastique et nous pêcherions avec lui n'importe quand ! Il pilote un excellent bateau avec un super équipement.

    Sortie d'une demi-journée avec Armando

    5 heures (demi-journée)

    Mon père, son ami et moi avons passé une journée formidable à pêcher dans les 10 000 îles avec Armando. Même si nous sommes tous des pêcheurs expérimentés, il nous a quand même appris une tonne de nouvelles choses sur le ciblage d'espèces spécifiques dans cette zone et sur la lecture de l'eau là-bas. Il connaît clairement ces mangroves et ces arrière-pays comme sa poche et a été excellent pour expliquer le quoi/pourquoi derrière chaque spot et technique. Nous lui avons dit que nous voulions chasser le Snook, le Sébaste et la truite, et il nous a mis sur du poisson toute la journée. En plus de ça, il était super sympa, drôle, et vraiment agréable à côtoyer pour une journée complète sur le bateau. On peut voir qu'il tient vraiment à s'assurer que tout le monde passe un bon moment et apprend vraiment quelque chose, pas seulement à ramener du poisson. Nous allons certainement réserver d'autres sorties avec lui à l'avenir et je recommande vivement Armando à tous ceux qui cherchent un guide de pêche compétent et dévoué dans la région des 10 000 îles/Sud de la Floride.

    Guide d'exception, ami encore meilleur – Le Capt. Armando ne déçoit jamais !

    Sortie de 8 heures (journée complète)

    Si vous cherchez une expérience de pêche de classe mondiale à Everglades City, ne cherchez pas plus loin que le Capt. Armando Alejo avec A2 Fishing Charters. Mon fils et moi sommes des clients fidèles, et après deux ans de pêche avec Armando, je peux honnêtement dire qu'il est devenu bien plus que notre guide de référence — il est devenu un ami. Nous avons même fait quelques sorties en dehors du cadre de la sortie encadrée ensemble, simplement parce que nous apprécions tellement le temps passé sur l'eau avec lui. Armando est incroyablement patient avec les nouveaux pêcheurs et crée toujours une atmosphère détendue et propice à la confiance sur le bateau. Que vous soyez débutant en train d'apprendre les bases ou quelqu'un avec des années d'expérience, il sait exactement comment rendre la journée mémorable. Et quand il s'agit de trouver le poisson ? Il connaît chaque spot qui vaut le coup — et bien d'autres encore. Notre sortie la plus récente pendant les vacances de Noël était tout simplement incroyable. Nous avons réussi à mettre 9,5 espèces différentes dans le bateau — le « 0,5 » étant un requin qui a fait une apparition juste au bord du bateau avant de casser la ligne (une petite bénédiction, honnêtement, car aucun de nous n'était pressé de décrocher un hameçon de lui !). Chaque sortie avec Armando est amusante, sûre, productive et pleine de bonne énergie. Je recommande vivement A2 Fishing Charters à quiconque cherche une véritable expérience des Everglades avec un capitaine qui se soucie à la fois de la pêche et des personnes à bord. Nous attendons déjà avec impatience notre prochaine aventure — que ce soit en utilisant à nouveau son service de sortie encadrée ou en le rejoignant quelque part de nouveau. Que du bon ici. Réservez en toute confiance.

    Prise d'une grande variété de poissons

    6 heures - Vétéran/Premier intervenant • 2 adultes • 1 enfant

    Le capitaine a fait un énorme effort pour nous emmener là où se trouvaient les poissons, et ça a payé. On a probablement pêché 8 à 10 espèces différentes, dont plusieurs étaient de belles prises que le capitaine a généreusement levées en filets pour nous au quai. Mon fils de 10 ans peut être très difficile, et le capitaine a été d'une patience exemplaire toute la journée, acceptant avec le sourire toutes les demandes de mon fils. C'était un vrai plaisir et je le recommande vivement !

GREAT winter bite.

déc. 29, 2024 • Everglades City
Welcome to A2 Fishing Charters! This winter we are catching LARGE numbers of speckled trout, and it hasn't been difficult to catch daily bag limits either.. Recently, Ruben and his son Isaac hooked and landed nearly 100 or more speckled trout keeping only their share for the day, then had it cooked at the Rod and Gun Club with the "cook your catch". In other recent trips, we have good success with large (for us) Redfish! Neil and his family hooked and landed their boat limit of Redfish both fish upwards of 7lbs, which by tournament standards is a GOOD fish! Our best season of the year is NOW, book your trip today and be pampered by the areas most personable captain! See y'all aboard! A2 Fishing Charters

Greetings A2 Fishing Charters, new and former customers! We've closed another great season here at A2 Fishing Charters, and we are now blessed to be on the water for another great season, our 9th! Our weather has chilled, and we are now enjoying our BEST weather of the year- a great time to be outside. On most days, our afternoons are in the upper 70's, with our morning rides in the upper 60's, just beautiful and pleasant. The fishing has bordered on epic, on many days! Over the past few weeks, we've boated quite a few slot Snook, upper slot Redfish and hundreds of speckled trout. Quick limits of speckled trout have been the norm with mostly all of my groups catching their bag limit of those over our abundant grass flats in the Everglades (3 per person). On a recent trip, Ms. Bethany (a new customer to me), and her family came aboard and requested a slot Snook, almost immediately- no pressure on me at all :). We set out from Flamingo on this trip and started our day targeting speckled trout, at their request. We fought hard for them, and boated our limit and about an hour... We then set our sites on her Snook request and did so by making a good solid run east to a spot that usually gets us at least a shot at a Snook. Upon arriving, I noticed that the tide wasn't quite right, yet! So I chose to troll the area near the spot for me to gauge where the bite would be! In a matter of moments, we all started getting bites! First Ms. Bethany's son, then her nephew and then her! Wouldn't you know it, I rebaited Ms. Bethany and committed a big error, I put her rod on the deck! Within minutes and in the turmoil of everyone catching, Ms. Bethany's bait got hit, her rod fell to the lower deck and the drag went off... I acrobatically caught the butt of the rod, only to notice the fish had hooked itself on the circle hook I'd rigged. It was one of those moments when WHERE EVERYTHING WENT RIGHT! I caught wind of Ms. Bethany and heard her praying for father whom had passed away recently, she was asking him to help her land this fish! And she sure did! What a great catch she made. I shared a great moment with my new customer, received a hug from her in celebration and we proceeded to photograph her catch. Take a look at our reviews if you need any convincing, and book with me today to expreience the best customer service in our area. Capt Armando of A2 Fishing Charters.

Greetings A2 fans. Cancellations are inevitable, particularly in these economic circumstances. On the days leading to this trip, I had two cancellations- both totally out of my control! That said, I was still able to fish with my new customer, and now friend Zach. Check out his review on my page, for the days results. We ran out of Key Largo, and headed toward one of the worlds best fisheries! The Flamingo Everglades. On our first stop, we focused on catching Sheepshead, but pulled over a dozen mangrove snapper instead. Zach and I jumped on plane, headed west and made another stop for Snook, but again we caught a different species- Trout. Boating our limit of Speckled trout didn't take long, so we chilled our six for the trip and continued our trip toward Everglades National Park. Not totally satisfied with our speckled trout bite, we worked a spot that had huge numbers of trout on a previous trip- we boated another 30+ trout before we took a mid day break for lunch. Having our quantity fix, we made an adjustment to quality! We made a good run North and stopped in for some Redfish. After working the area thoroughly, we finally picked some small Snook, and a bonus black drum. With about 30 minutes left on the trip, I made one final run to try for a nicer Redfish! At about the time we had to go, Zach made his best cast of the day, hooked and fought the Redfish pictured above! I enjoyed seeing Zach go to work with this fish, one of our best of the day. All in all, we caught plenty of fish on this trip and closed the trip with a nice Redfish to boot! Capt Armando of A2 Fishing Charters.

déc. 13, 2023 • Everglades City
Greetings A2 Fans! Fishing trips have four quarters (Similar to a Football game). Sometimes we catch them at the first stop, sometimes at the last stop. On this trip, return customers Macky, Tim and I had to work for them in a pre- front situation. On a previous trip, I had good idea that I'd find them in the same area but that proved to be wrong! We took our loses, sat down for lunch which gave me some time to rethink my plan for the day... After a great sandwich and conversation, I got us going and made a solid run west to some grounds I hadn't fished in months. As we approached the area, I noticed the water clarity was what I was looking for! Clear and moving. Needless to say, I was amped up before we even made our first cast in the area. Tim, and Macky both began to fish the spot. Our action began with a solid Sheepshead bite, and after a quite a few missed fish and a little bit of coaching, we began catching them! After about a dozen good sheepshead, the Redfish showed up! In an interesting twist of events, they only took baits on the bottom- so we switched! Macky, Tim, and even I got into the action. After a good 2.5 hours of constant action, my group had their fix so we high tailed it back to the dock. Capt Armando of A2 Fishing Charters.

Greetings A2 New and Return Customers, Catching up on some of my fishing reports, as it has been a very busy December. I recently had Ms. Melina and her husband Kevin aboard, again. We sat at the dock for about 30 minutes on this day and waited to see some passing storms bring quite a bit of rain through the area, but once the rain flowed through- we went right to work! Within a short distance from the dock and with about 45 minutes left of the rising tide, we hit our first stop. To my, and everyone's surprise, we began sinking corks almost immediately! Melina, Kevin and I each boated Redfish almost immediately all of which were released safely to fight another day. After getting a good Redfish fix, I did a solid run east to find Kevin a requested Snook. After making several stops, and diligently casting for a good Snook, we were not very successful so I decided to switch species to Sheepshead. We made another solid run East, and made one stop for the elusive Sheep! It was almost immediately, that we boated 5 or more good Sheeps! Again, all of which Ms. Melina and Kevin threw back to fight another day. After a brief attempt at Speckled Trout, we were weren't seeing the action we wanted so I made one last ditch effort at our Snook. I ran to one of my tried and trough Snook spots, and worked hard at it with many varieties of baits. Live shrimp, soft plastics, and the like. With about five minutes left on the charter, Melina then Kevin both boated some nice Snook- relieved was an understatement, we made it happen!

A2 Customers, new and returning! The hot humid summer days are past us now, the water temperatures are improved and the fishing is the best I've experienced in months! Now coming aboard are; Snook, Redfish, Snapper, and some Trout and Tripletail.. On a recent trips, Ms. Helen and family came aboard, and WOW, what a day we had! I remember that trip vividly.. by 9 a.m., we had a limit of Redfish (with two or more bruisers, over 8 lbs), one Tripletail, 2 Trout and a handful of Mangrove Snapper. We were left combing the Flamingo Everglades for a slot Snook, or a big Tarpon. Not to much thereafter, Jimmy (Ms. Helen's son), hooked, jumped and he fought a 100+ lbs Tarpon for over 45 minutes! Jimmy put the heat on that fish the whole time and put our gear to the test! Our IRT 300, Cajun custom combo went to work that day! But the 15 lb Power PRO braid, and Four Horsemen cork combo won the battle! It was my pleasure to hoist that beast, and measured it at approximately 5 ft long! I've added a later start trip, "for late risers", this trip is designed for those folks down here wanting to start their day a bit later, 10 a.m. We are preparing for an action packed winter season! Don't miss out and book today. See y'all aboard. Capt A2.
