Captain Armando showed us three anglers what fishing the Mangrove Islands, south of Everglades City, FL, on our full day Inshore trip was all about.ย His fishing expertiseโwatching him repeatedly place his cast within inches of Mangrove branches, dropping into a tiny shadow on the waterโs edgeโwas truly remarkable as he did over and over again only to hand me, a real rookie, the rod so I could work the lure and, YES, catch two beautiful, keeper Red Fish!ย He was instructive, he shared his expertise and he shared stories of his life fishing with his family and always with a fun attitude, wonderful sense of humor and always made us feel at home on his boat. We fished location after location, earning every fish we caught.ย We rookies finally got the casting and lure action techniques down better as he took us to his best fishing locations within the seemingly maze of the Mangrove Islands.ย Capt. Armando was all we could ever have wanted in a professional fishing guide and, most of all, he made our experience fun-filled and special.ย Weโll be back again, Capt. Armando!

John, yโall were great! Thanks for the kind review.ย

John, yโall were great! Thanks for the kind review.ย Armando.
Let me start off with the fact that this was the coldest week that Miami has seen in a very long time. Not only is Armando an amazing person to work with but has a great personality and the patience of a saint with kids. Our daughterโs 9 and 12 had an awesome time! They both caught a variety of fish. My wife had a great time she caught her very first large redfish and was stoked!ย Armando did his best to put us on fish in some of the coldest water conditions they have seen in years.ย Thank you for making this the most memorable part of our Christmas trip to Miami.

Yโall were a great group and hung in there in the cold and wind.ย
The redfish Ms Jennifer caught is a trophy by our standard! It was my pleasure to share that expense with yโall.ย
Enjoy your stay and see yโall next time.

Armando is an exceedingly considerate guide, very knowledgeable of the fishing area and a genuine pleasure to be around for our two full days aboard.ย His boat is perfect to access just about any fishery and Armando works hard to ensure that every angler is successful.ย No hook is left unbaited and no tangle is frowned upon.ย :)ย Thanks Armando.ย See you next time!
Humbled to read this, thank you!
Lets do it again this summer.

Capt. Armonda with A2 Charters is the one to hire for light tackle in the ENP! He knows the water, weather, and her secret spots.ย The boat is a well-set-up fishing machine and we covered miles of water, targeted several species. Our day on A2 was a perfect combination of why you hire an experienced captain when you visit a place like the Florida Keys. We caught game fish not available at home, saw natural wonders of the ENP, and went home with dinner. If in Key Largo, call A2 Charter.
Thanks for fishing with us.ย Yโall are exceptional fisherman.
Fantastic trip with a great guide. Capt. Armando took 3 of us to Flamingo Everglades. I caught a 3-lb snook on first castโand 3 more in next 6 minutes.
Plus over a dozen other snook, grunts, ladyfish. A blackfin shark too. And a keeper redfish we ate for lunch next day.
More important than the catching is the whole social experience. Capt. A was industrious and a good talker, eager to help. Knowledgeable about the areaโhis fishing sport for >20 years.
Even on our trip back to dock when he should have been in a hurry, he stopped to have us cast for the elusive Three-tail, willing to take extra time. Caught a couple, too small to keep & eat. Next time!
Great guy, grest day.
