About Your Trip

Captain Armando has been guiding trips in south Louisianna for the past 3 years. There is something about the Sportsman's Paradise that brings him back year after year! Armando specializes in coastal fishing with light tackle putting his clients on Redfish, Flounder, Black Drum, Sheephead (Bay Snapper), Trout, and a variety of other gulf coast fish as well. Captain Armando is always willing to cater to your species of choice, but will provide the best advice for which bite is hottest that day!

He invites you to join him aboard his 23' Pathfinder equipped with 250 HP Yamaha, Trolling Motor, Live Bait Wells, and all the latest safety equipment. On your trip you will explore the beautiful and remote fishery that is Louisiana's Sportsman's Paradise! Socked with Redfish, Trout, Sheepshead, and Flounder!

Make sure you bring a valid Louisiana saltwater fishing license, food and drinks of your choice, a hat, sunscreen, and an ice chest to take home your day’s catch. Captain Armando will provide all of the rods, reels, lures, and will clean your catch for you at the end of the day. He does all this so all you have to do is focus on having a great time!

About Your Guide

Armando A.

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.
