I’ve booked dozens of captains over the last few years and Captain Armando is by far my favorite choice to date. It doesn’t matter if your an avid angler or novice, he continues to cater to your every need. On this recent trip, Captain Armando guided my son and I to a catch of 20+ redfish (5 within slot), 6 snook, 7 black drum, 3 sheephead, 4 trout and the best part was boating 7 triple tails (in unfavorable conditions). I highly recommend booking Captain Armando on your next visit to the everglades, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks again for another memorable day on the water with my son. Making Memories..
Can’t wait to do this again!

Had a small window to take a fishing trip while visiting Florida, Armando helped make the most of my time with his suggestions and letting me choose our target, took me out on his super clean boat, put me on the Redfish right away, after 40 fish in a couple of hours we stopped counting, Armando uses the best gear along with his extensive knowledge and background in the Everglades to find the fish and keep you catching them for the length of your charter.. I highly recommend you contact Captain Armando Alejo, set yourself up with a charter and let him make an amazing trip in the Everglades happen for you!

What can we say, Capt. Armando (AKA Superman) is stupendous.  We had a great day in the Everglades, catching 8 species of fish.  First off, I was impressed that Capt. Armando went over boat safety right after we boarded his boat.  As we set out, he had a very specific plan on how we were going to put fish in the boat, this got us very excited.

Although I have caught several snook, George had yet to land one.  We specifically asked Capt. Armando to target snook.  We were able to put 9 snook in the boat, including George’s 1st snook.

Capt. Armando made the day fun.  The conversation was educational and entertaining.

We have fished with guides from the Great Lakes to the Florida Keys and Capt. Armando is by far one of the BEST captains we have fished with.

Capt. Armando is truly a 5 STAR captain.

Looking forward to fishing with him in July.

My 11 year old son and myself booked a full day fishing trip with Armando Alejo, and what a day it was.  Armando was in contact via text days before the trip being VERY detailed on what to expect.  To say the least, the trip was everything he described and more.  Armando said it will be a great day of fishing (with no promises) and great conversation…He was dead on!!  Armando offered to pick us up at our door since we happened to be staying in the same location as his boat.  He was on time, actually early, we made him wait for us!!  When we arrived at the dock to launch his boat, I offered to help, somewhat knowing what I’m doing, he refused my help and said, “You are here to enjoy the day, NOT work!”.  I was impressed with that and let him do everything!!  Once on his boat, he explained, in detail, where we were going and what we would fish for first.  The first stop was a hot spot, catching fish almost immediately.  My son was the first to reel one in, thankfully, he was so excited!!  Once we caught every fish in that area, Armando took us to another spot and caught more fish.  We moved on to yet another of Armando’s “spots” and caught MORE fish!!  At this point, being with Armando for 3-4 hrs, I could tell this guy was really passionate about fishing and making sure everyone on board was having a great time and doing what we set out to do…catch fish!!!  We ended the day at another spot where the fish were plentiful.  Once we were done fishing, Armando went out of way to take show us what I called alligator alley.  I’ve never seen an alligator or crocodile in the wild before this trip.  We greatly appreciated Amando’s extra effort and showing this to us.  The whole trip, Armando treated my son like he was one of his own.  His professional background funneled into his passion, and I greatly appreciated that…he’s a good man!!  Once we returned to the dock, Armando cleaned our catch of the day and proceeded to tell us about a restaurant called “The Fish House” where we can take our catch and they would prepare it however we wanted it.  Of course, we invited Armando to enjoy our fresh caught meal with us…and a good one it was!!  Can’t say enough about Armando and how he made a father and son fishing trip a HUGE success!!  I feel I’ve made a new friend and hope to see him again in the future for another memorable experience on or off the water!!  I highly recommend anyone booking with Armando Alejo!!  Thanks, for the memories with my son!!  Scott Havel

The odds were against us on a windy chilly morning.  Not for Capt. Armando…I released a 28” Redfish shortly after my first cast.  That was one of 35 Redfish caught that day ( including 2 released Bull Reds, 3 “slot” Reds).  I have to give a shout out to the Monster Red that took me to the woodshed!  Maybe you’ll catch him when you book Capt. Armando.  Most people would be thrilled with that many fish on a full day charter, but we also caught 10 Snook (all released), one “slot” Black Drum, and a “slot” Gator Trout.  I also need to compliment the “slot” Snook that gill-plated my leader when he saw the boat!  I was sincerely spoiled with first class gear, tackle, shallow drafting boat, and a wealth of fishing knowledge provided by our Captain.
I highly recommend Captain Armando as an accomplished guide with a personality that instantly make you feel like family.
