Iโve fished with guides all over North America, including multiple trips in the Keys.
None of them have come close to my trip and experience with Armando.
I could go on and on with a dozen reasons why, but there are a few reasons Iโd like to highlight that matter the most to me.
Letโs start with the obviousโฆ
The dude can put you on fish. We had shots at every fish in the book and hooked up a ton of different species. It was one of the most exciting fishing trips of my life.
Letโs be real - thatโs what everyone wants in a guide.
A good guide can put you on fish.
A great guide can make hard fish easy to catch.
What makes Armando the best isnโt just catching fish, but the experience start to finish.
1 minute into our car ride to the dock, I knew the day was going to be epic.
Heโs one of the most energetic, exciting people Iโve fished with and start to finish we had a blast.
Not only did he put me on the fish, but he made it fun for my wife the entire day. In fact, she probably caught more than me.
I think when it comes to a guided trip - we all want to โget our moneys worthโ. I can say without a doubt we got many times over our moneys worth and my wife and I are planning another trip down around being able to fish with Armando.
On top of it all, he filleted our fish and gave us great recommendations on where to take it and have it cooked for us for dinner. It was an amazing way to end an amazing day on the water.
UPDATE: In the time since our trip with Armando, he has been a huge resource for me in my own fishing back home.
In addition to answering my endless questions over text, Armando helped me find, evaluated, and negotiate for a skiff I recently purchased - even willing to hop on half a dozen calls to help me find the right boat. Are you serious?!
If I can say anything about Armando, the best way to summarize it is this: He might start as your guide, but heโll end up as your friend.

None of them have come close...
Thanks again for the business.ย It was my pleasure having yโall on board.
