About Your Guide

Captain Armando

Independent Guide

Born in Cuba in 1976, Captain Armando has loved to fish since age 6, he often dreamt of fishing like his idol and pioneer of the sport, Jose Wejebe "The Spanish Fly".

After years of great success as fishing guide in the Flamingo Everglades he decided to venture and guide in Louisiana, a true Sportsmen’s Paradise in the summer of 2019. Three seasons later he still loves returning to Southern Lousianna for the summer months and works to conserve his fisheries in both South Florida and South Lousianna as he enters his 8th season as a successful and awarded fishing guide.

Armando’s infectious personality, southern hospitality and genuine love for fishing will help you enjoy a fun and productive day on the water. Regardless of your level of experience or age, Armando will work hard so that all his guests enjoy their day.

Since 2019, Armando has entered local and National tournaments, where he won two of them. First, the “Top Guide Award” at the Swamp Guides Ball in 2019 and recently, first place in the Hook'em in the Glades fundraiser to benefit a local school.

Rest assured that you are booking an experienced and certified five-star rated guide for your Everglades or Lousianna fishing trip.
PS: Armando is a Spanish speaker.

You'll need to buy a fishing license before getting out there. Find out more about licenses here.

We use a cashless autopay system. We'll send you a boarding pass, and on the day of the trip, your guide will scan your boarding pass to automatically transfer the remaining balance. The only cash needed is to tip your guide (we recommend 20%).

The deposit for this trip is non-refundable (but if the weather is too bad to go out, you will still receive a credit back to your account).

If the weather doesn’t cooperate you’ll be covered by our 100% weather guarantee and you won’t lose your deposit.

First Time Booking with Us?

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
