About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Juan Carlos to chase down the Silver King! Captain Jaun will take you to the back country waters of Torrecilla, San Jose and Los Corozos lagoons in San Juan. Down in San Juan, Tarpon in habit the waters year round! So no matter what time of year it is, the Tarpon fishing is always on! You will be fishing from his 20' Twin Vee dubbed: "The EXTREMIST" which is designed to fish two guests at a time, but can handle three if the need arises.

This trip is also great for the family since the backcountry lagoons are calm and are always protected from the wind. Captain Juan caught 156 tarpon in just 6 days of fishing in December of 2001!

Captain Juan is willing to cater to any level of experience and any technique you want to use! From 15 pound test line spinning rods to 50 pound braided line jigging rods, the EXTREMIST carries the best equipment from Shimano and St. Croix rods, and if fly fishing is your flavor, equipment from Nautilus, Able and St. Croix rods are all part of the EXTREMIST’S arsenal as well.

All Captain Juan's trips include your expert guide (Juan himself), live bait, fishing tackle, bottled water, and sodas for your enjoyment. He provides top of the line tackle from Shimano, St. Croix rods, Yozuri and Fathom Inshore. All Captain Juan recommends you bring are your sunglasses, hats &/or visors, and sun block! Feel free to bring alcoholic beverages along, all Captain Juan requests is that they be consumed in a moderate fashion.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs.
