Even though we didn't catch fish, the Capt was helpful, funny, and provided a great trip. We saw a bunch of iguanas and a cayman!

Post rainstorm, the water was muddy, and the fishing was hard. We caught no fish, but learned his methods and we were able to catch tarpon the next day using his methods!

5:30 pm trip
4 Hour Trip (PM) on July 15, 2024
An experience my cousin and I will never forget here in Puerto Rico! My Cousin and I went out with Captain Francisco at 5:30 pm and got only a bite within the first 2 hours. Then the sun set and FISH ON! I caught a 60-70 pound tarpon that fought for 45 minutes and Francisco told me everything I needed to do to get the fish in the boat and we did! Then my cousin caught another good size tarpon! It is the biggest fish I’ve caught to this day and I am forever grateful we took this opportunity. The backwaters were also beautiful with the sunset. His boat was spotless! We will be back!! Thank you Captain! The host was very helpful with directions and payment!

Francisco was very knowledgeable and worked hard finding a spot were fish were biting. Our family ended up catching four good size Tarpoon, two around forty pounds. Not bad for a slow and hot August day. Francisco seemed as excited as us when a fish was caught! He was also very friendly and approachable. Best of all, Francisco had cold drinks included! A great idea and much appreciated on this very hot day!
