The fish can be spotty in June but if you keep a good attitude it will always be a great day on the water.

Not much the captain had everything we needed from cold non alcoholic drinks to gear and even sun block

This was our first trip.
Captain rated sea roughness at 4. For us it was a 9 almost 10.
Check Sea Condition don't forget your motion sickness meds.
Do it.

If you go in not expecting to catch any fish it will let you enjoy the fishing trip better. You get a really cool view of old San Juan

Keep in mind that covid regulations are in affect. So the experience might be a little different than you would normally expect. Bait shops are closed and you have to catch your own bait.

Beginners stay in shore.
Off shore is for experienced anglers with patience to hope for a hit on a big sports fish.

Definitely use this company. Make sure to stay hydrated. Enjoy yourself. It is hard not to when you fish with Captain Luis.

This was our first tarpon fishing trip and we had a great trip so I would highly recommend Bayside Charters 2 and Carlos Torres as your guide.

Save your money and not use bayside charters. Boat was not what they said and the captain didnt even have bait ready. Spent almost 2 hours trying to get bait on a 5 hour trip

Go early. Short ride off the coast. Deep water in 1 mile. Never out of sight of land. Watch the weather closely. Changes quickly.

If you are booking in the PM, stay patient and trust your guide the bite usually picks up late in the day.

If you want to catch tarpon, trust your guide. If you want to catch tarpon your way then bring lots of patience.

Be prepared for the short rain showers that can come up quickly and the inland bay and canal fishing was a much more adventurous and fulfilling experience than i expected!

Catch and release is only in the bay. Meat fishing is outside of the bay. The website should specify.

Wait until you get really close to yor trip to book. The weather/winds can be a factor, and should be taken into account.
Robert Kaleita
Be prepared for weather. Sun and possible rain. And talk with the captain of your expectations.
Sheila Pidde
Go with Clery! This was our first time to San Juan, the fishing exceeded our expectations!
Benjamin Vargas
Bring sunscreen and sun shirts. Always a good idea to bring your preferred snacks/food.
James Diegnan
Go to Luis. He was awesome. It was a little slow at first but it got exciting after a while.
Josh Rose
Great time strongly recommend we have fished many locations. This was an amazing trip.

Puerto Rico has some very deep waters and fishing here is truly and adventure you shouldn’t miss.

Don't think you are going to drink and enjoy a boat ride. It's work out at sea!
Adam Woodrow

Go early morning it heats up as the day goes on, be prepared to catch a monster.

Weather is unpredictable on the north side of the island. Check way ahead. Of time.
