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

    Andre gang er lykken

    6-timers tur

    Vi valgte å ha vår store familieferie med villmarksfiske med Capt. Armando i tankene. Han gjorde alt så enkelt, fra bestilling og forberedelser til selve fisket. Han sørget for at vi fisket der fisken hadde bitt ved å kaste ekspert til de beste plassene. Når fisken sluttet å bite, flyttet han oss til neste sted. Min 15 år gamle datter endte opp med å slå oss alle på båten ved å ta inn 4 keeperfisk, inkludert den største Spotted Seatrout vi noen gang hadde sett. Jeg klarte til og med å ta inn den største Redfish på turen etter å ikke ha hatt suksess med å fange keeperfisk. Vi hadde det alle kjempegøy! Kjerneminnnene som ble skapt den dagen vil leve videre i skryterettigheter og fiskeeventyr. Takk, Capt. Armando

    Halvdagstur med Armando

    5-timers tur

    Pappa, kompisen hans og jeg hadde en fantastisk dag med fiske i 10,000 Islands med Armando. Selv om vi alle er erfarne fiskere, lærte han oss fortsatt masse nye ting om fisking etter spesifikke arter i det området og å lese vannet der nede. Han kjenner tydeligvis disse mangrovene og bakvannet inn og ut, og var flink til å forklare hva/hvorfor bak hvert spot og hver teknikk. Vi fortalte ham at vi ville jakte på Snook, Redfish og ørret, og han sørget for at vi hadde fisk hele dagen. I tillegg var han super vennlig, morsom og bare lett å henge med i en hel dag på båten. Man kan se at han virkelig bryr seg om at alle har det bra og faktisk lærer noe, ikke bare drar inn fisk. Vi kommer definitivt til å booke flere turer med ham i fremtiden, og jeg vil sterkt anbefale Armando til alle som ser etter en kunnskapsrik og dedikert fiskeguide i 10,000 Islands/Sør-Florida-området.

    Topklasse guide, enda bedre venn – Capt. Armando skuffer aldri!

    8-timers tur

    Hvis du leter etter en førsteklasses fiskeopplevelse i Everglades City, trenger du ikke lete lenger enn til kaptein Armando Alejo med A2 Fishing Charters. Sønnen min og jeg er faste kunder, og etter to år med fiske med Armando kan jeg ærlig si at han har blitt mer enn bare vår foretrukne guide — han har blitt en venn. Vi har til og med tatt et par turer sammen utenom charteret, rett og slett fordi vi trives så godt på vannet med ham. Armando er utrolig tålmodig med nye fiskere og skaper alltid et avslappet miljø om bord som bygger selvtillit. Enten du er en nybegynner som lærer det grunnleggende, eller en erfaren fisker med mange år bak deg, vet han nøyaktig hvordan han skal gjøre dagen uforglemmelig. Og når det gjelder å finne fisken? Han kjenner hvert eneste spot som er verdt å prøve — og vel så det. Vår siste tur i juleferien var ikke noe mindre enn fantastisk. Vi klarte å få 9,5 ulike arter i båten — der ".5" var en hai som dukket opp rett ved siden av båten før den snappet linen (egentlig en liten velsignelse, siden ingen av oss var særlig ivrige etter å dra en krok ut av den!). Hver tur med Armando er morsom, trygg, produktiv og full av god energi. Jeg anbefaler A2 Fishing Charters på det varmeste til alle som ønsker en ekte Everglades-opplevelse med en kaptein som bryr seg om både fisket og menneskene om bord. Vi ser allerede frem til neste eventyr — enten vi bruker charteret hans igjen eller møter ham et nytt sted. Alt er topp her. Bestill med selvtillit.

    Flott dag med en flott guide

    6 Timer – Veteraner/Førstehjelpsarbeidere • 2 voksne

    Armondo gjorde det enkelt å booke turen og komme seg ut på vannet. Han er en utrolig kunnskapsrik guide og hadde oss på fin Redfish med en gang. Vi nådde grensen vår for Redfish allerede klokken 07:30, etterfulgt av litt Snook og sjøørret. Vi brukte resten av turen på å jakte Tarpon og fikk se noen, men gikk også etter Svart trommefisk. Vi hadde det gøy med å fange to forskjellige arter av Malle og Jack også. Vi hadde en fantastisk opplevelse og ville mer enn gjerne fisket med ham igjen! Han kjører en flott båt med godt utstyr.

    Fanget et stort utvalg av fisk

    6 Timer – Veteraner/Førstehjelpsarbeidere • 2 voksne • 1 barn

    Kapteinen gjorde en kjempeinnsats for å ta oss dit fisken var, og det lønnet seg. Vi fanget sannsynligvis 8-10 forskjellige arter, og flere av dem var gode matfisker som kapteinen gladelig fileterte for oss tilbake ved brygga. Min 10-åring kan være veldig krevende, og kapteinen var utrolig tålmodig hele dagen og gikk gladelig med på alle sønnens ønsker. Det var en fornøyelse og jeg vil anbefale dette på det varmeste!

GREAT winter bite.

Dec 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

Jan 3, 2024 • Everglades City
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.

Dec 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!

Crisp weather, GREAT fishing!

Oct 7, 2023 • Everglades City
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.
