Salty Rod Fishing Charters

Prepare for an unforgettable fishing adventure on the western shores of Puerto Rico by booking a trip with Salty Rod Fishing Charters. Captain Thomas, with his extensive angling expertise, will serve as your guide throughout the journey.

Under varying conditions, you may have the opportunity to reel in impressive catches such as Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Kingfish, Cero Mackerel, Mutton Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Almaco Jack, and more surprises! These excursions typically involve trolling and bottom fishing with light tackle.

Embark on a 28’ Angler, accommodating up to 6 passengers and equipped with all the necessary amenities. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, and live bait may be available. Any legally sized fish you catch is yours to keep, and the option for the crew to clean your catch is available—ensuring a delightful dinner!

Assisting you in navigating the waters and locating the best fishing spots is a skilled First Mate. It is customary to show appreciation for their hard work with a 20% tip. Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, simplifying your pre-trip preparations. Keep in mind that specific species may have special regulations or limited seasons, and Captain Thomas will guide you in adhering to all fishing regulations.

Savor the joy of a family-friendly experience, as kids are warmly welcomed on board for a day of outdoor excitement!

It’s recommended to bring snacks, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then, the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen with Salty Rod Fishing Charters!
