Spend your morning or afternoon exploring the inshore waters. Get your hands on Tarpon, Snook, Jack Crevalle, Snapper, Grouper, Kingfish, Barracuda, and other species that patrol the reefs and the mangroves.

Fishing

Half Day Trip (AM) on March 28, 2024 • 2 adults

Overall, the trip was a fun and enjoyable one. We planned it last minute and didn't know what to expect because we're used to Florida charters where you catch fish after fish after fish. The captain was very friendly and respectful, he even brought drinks for us to have on the trip. The trip went fairly well, although the first two hours we didn't not catch a single fish or touch a rod. Make sure you are looking to do a trolling charter if you use this company. A lot of sitting and waiting for fish to bite and less hands on actually fishing yourselves. In the end, we caught a few snook, one tarpon, one jack, and a couple small fish. The captain also stayed out a little past our time & took us to see the fort from the water. It ended up being a very fun day. I would recommend this charter, however, just make sure it's the type of fishing you're looking for so you're not disappointed!

Fishing with Yorman

Half Day Trip (AM) on April 21, 2023 • 2 adults

I had a great experience in Puerto Rico fishing with Capt Yorman Sierra of Bayside Charters. I happen to live on saltwater and fish quite often. I also have started making a habit of booking a charter whenever I can while on vacation. With that being said, I can discern when a local Capt knows how to get on fish and also when they appear to be motivated to do so. 

Capt Yorman set the expectations and delivered on a day that initially seemed less than ideal for fishing. After losing at least 3 fish and getting almost spooled by a shark, we ended up putting 5 different species on the boat including a few Jacks, a Snook, King Mackerel, and even a Remora. While we did not see, or get a Tarpon, it absolutely was not for lack of effort. Capt Yorman pulled out every stop to get me on fish this day and especially worked everything to get us to a Tarpon. However, what I enjoyed the most about this entire trip was Yorman himself, he was warm, attentive, and also provided me what I always hope to get from a charter Capt, and that is some education. He is definitely a master of his craft.

Needless to say, I had a great experience with Capt Yorman and Bayside Charters and would recommend them and Capt Yorman.

Inshore Fishing was Fantastic!

Half Day Trip (PM) on March 15, 2024 • 4 adults

We were able to catch Jack Crevalle, Snook, Tarpon, and Red Snapper during our 4 hour excursion. Mother Nature provided us with a perfect day, nice breeze and slightly overcast so it wasn't too warm in the sunshine. We saw several Iguana on the banks. Inshore = No seasickness for this mama! And...Captain Yorman was great! Thanks for a cool experience my boys and I will never forget!
