Backwater Tarpon Fishing specializes in going after Tarpon using light tackle and fly fishing gear. The Backwater Lagoons are a fantastic place to fish for the Silver King, and who better to help you than Captain Felix Cuadrado. You can count on him when going after the catch of your dreams.

His boat is a 19’ Flats & Bay skiff that runs on a 115 HP Suzuki engine. It can easily accommodate groups of up to 4 fishermen per trip. The boat is outfitted with a conventional range of navigational technology and fish finding equipment, including GPS, fishfinder, and radio.

The main battlegrounds during your day on the water will include the Laguna San Jose and the Laguna Torrecilla. These are known around the world for the massive number of resident Tarpon! Other than the Silver King, you can also expect to encounter the likes of Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, and Snook.

Fishing licenses along with all the appropriate fishing gear for your trip are supplied by the team, complete with both artificial and live bait. Snacks and beverages (bottled water and soft drinks) are also provided for your enjoyment.

Tarpon fishing is the experience of a lifetime, so join Backwater Tarpon Fishing and experience it for yourself!

Special 6 hour trip for David Reynolds on May 17, 20232 adults
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!

Half Day Trip (PM) on February 17, 20242 adults
I took my son on this trip for his 18th birthday. We didn't catch a lot but as every fisherman and outdoorsman knows, it's about the experience and not always about the harvest. Capt Fernando made the experience fantastic. My son landed 1 tarpon which made the entire trip! Thank you captain!!

Tommy worked hard
Half Day Trip – Fly Fishing on February 5, 20241 adult
Captain Tommy did a great job trying different locations and found lots of tarpon. They were not so hungry on this day but did have two takes from small ones and also got a few snook and a JC. Nice day on the water and very personable guide.
