About Your Trip

Get out there on the Torrecilla and San José Lagoons, two of the most exciting inland fisheries in San Juan, Puerto Rico! Your trip will be run by one of five captains—Armando, Randy, Karim, Carlos, or Pantoja—all business partners and experts in inshore and nearshore fishing with several decades of combined experience.
This Puerto Rico charter fishing experience includes not only world-class Tarpon and Snook fishing, but also incomparable scenery and wildlife. The location of these beautiful lagoons guarantees the calm waters, which means no seasickness! For our hardcore fishing enthusiasts, the best part of Tarpon fishing in Puerto Rico is that it's a year-round activity!

The waters around San Juan are known for having a large concentration of Tarpon, but they also produce big Snook, Jacks, Lady Fish, Barracuda, and Snapper. San Juan Tarpon love the rain and cloudy days. Usually, fishing here is best when its cloudy or pouring rain! So unless a hurricane is making landfall, you can expect to go out and chase these "Silver Kings" no matter the weather. You'll use Threadfin Herring, Anchovies and Sand Perch for bait—all of which these fish love to hit! For those customers that prefer artificial lures, he has an excellent set of lures as well. In addition, if you want to fly-fish, this trip is perfectly geared for it! Just let your captain know so that he can bring fly rods and flies.

You'll be fishing from the deck of an 18' Permit skiff, powered by a 115-HP Evinrude E-Tec engine. She's kitted out with a Garmin fishfinder, live well, storage area, and a great casting deck for light tackle fishing or fly-fishing.

Your captain will provide everything you need for an awesome trip, including rods, reels, live bait, and tackle. Just bring proper clothing, a hat, and a pair of polarized sunglasses and you'll be good to go!

Just wait and see! By the end of the trip, you'll feel like you've known us for years, just part of our family. We're great working with kids and enjoy the opportunity to help them catch "the big fish".

Captain Carlos did a great job and moved several times to try finding us some fish. Unfortunately, it was a hot day and we didn’t have any luck, but we’ll definitely be booking through Captain again!
