man oh man today was an interesting day but man it was awesome to start off i did get multiple bites and the ones we lost were soley on me because it was my first time targeting salt i saw multiple big tarpon on the water swimming up i even got to see a manatee that happened to pass by while fishing and it was beyond words to say the least but within the last 5 minutes we managed to hook into a 25-30lb tarpon and the fight alone was amazing and i was goad we were able to land it great experience overall and i even booked a 6 hour trip 2 days from now im glad i went eith these guys hands down!
We had an awesome experience fishing for tarpon through the saltwater canals. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and put us right on the fish. The scenery was beautiful, the equipment was great, and the whole trip was fun from start to finish. Highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a memorable fishing trip.
great experience, learned a great deal about tarpon fishing, had a few sizable hook ups, yet unsuccesully making it to the boat but ended up catching a few smaller ones. boat ws a bit weather but did NOT impact the experiene.
Trip was awesome, everything went very smooth, got to land a tarpon. Captain was very knowledgeable and helpful for anglers of all levels of experience. He gave great recommendations for local restaurants.
Had a blast fish with Captain Miguel. Caught some really nice fish. First time tarpon fishing and learned quickly to bow to the king! Caught a few little snook, got to check the box on that specie also. The fight is awesome, watching the tarpon jump is impressive. Miguel was extremely knowledgeable and fun to fish with. I highly recommend using Captain Miguel if you want to catch fish and have a great time doing it. Next time in Puerto Rico, we will definitely fish with him again!
