What would you recommend to anglers fishing in San Juan for the first time?

Alex had said we would move around if we weren’t having luck. I guess we didn’t because we kept getting strikes, but as a first timer, maybe ask to do that?

Be prepared for rough sea conditions, the winds were only 11-15 mph in the forecast and I got actively sea sick in the waves. Use medication to combat the symptoms.

Kids who are getting into flyfishing would learn a lot, but probably not recommended for first timers until they’ve learnt the basics and can cast reasonably well

March is a great time for tarpon. Captain is knowledgable and smart to accommodate any were from a first time fisher lady to a pro angler.

Be prepared with sunscreen or beverages/snacks as 4 hours at see can be a drag without any action. It’s called fishing not catching so keep that in mind.

Tarpon are hard to land! Even for a very seasoned largemouth bass fisherman. The lagoon was a great location and very predictable, calm, water conditions

The experience was BETTER than what we thought we were going to get when we booked! I have fished twice in PR and the first trip the captain was horrible and we caught barely anything (I know it’s fishing and not catching but we spent most of the trip driving and not fishing). This is the second time fishing on the island and this company truly blew my expectations

Relax if you book with Capt Pepe if blue water charters everything is going to be fine!

Great experience catching younger fish! A great place to learn how to catch the Silver Kings!

I would recommend sunscreen, long sleeves, and drink lots of water the night before

Tarpon are hit or miss. When you do find them put up a good fight. Bring sunblock, a hat, and sunglasses. Captain was great. Very friendly and knowledgeable.

Weather was perfect, no coats needed.. sun was intense when it came thru the clouds so be prepared for that with appropriate gear (sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, appropriate clothing)

Be flexible. I was booked for a day trip but changed to evening trip because of the captains recommendation

Just update the description, they say they offer snacks but they do not. If you did not eat breakfast expecting there to be food on board provided then you will be starving by the end of the trip

Be flexible and listen to your guide when they try to put you on fish. Sounds like February, especially with any kind of cold front can be tough.

Wonderful time of year to spend on the water fishing . I highly recommend fishing in San Juan in January

4hrs trip is enough time. Many go out in the morning but the afternoon time is an ok time too. Don’t worry about the rain, it comes and goes.

Boat captains do everything they can to ensure you have the best day on the water. Sometimes the fish cooperate and sometimes they do not. San Juan is no different.

The backwoods and bay fishing seemed to be more popular this time of year, I would try one of those. We learned that northern winds make for pretty rough seas this time of year.

This charter. Do the 6 hour tour to have more opportunity to land fish. Listen to your guide. Have fun! Be thankful.

Book Reel Addiction PR with Captain Santiago, you will never go wrong , knows the waters and how to coach you to land a fish like no one else in the area

Great weather and easy water - a little chop when the lines went in and we slowed down, but not bad. If you’re worried about motion sickness, grab a Dramamine and you’ll be fine.

Be ready for anything. Fish, weather, rain, hot, cold. We had a great day, but day before and after were sketchy.

Typical, Sunscreen, hat, bug spray, they weren’t terrible just a little annoying at the end of the trip. Be ready for a great experience.

I would always recommend fishing with Ray. He worked so hard trying to get us some fish. The weather was not agreeing with us.

Afternoon fishing had a lot more action than our captian expected. The fish were very active but also bashful. When the fish was on they fought like crazy

We were out before anyone. Other boats came to where we were so I knew Blue Water Charters had the knowledge and experience needed

Perfect time of year for Tarpon. Avoid the crowds and the Tarpon are everywhere. No joke, Everywhere!

We have traveled to different countries and fished for many species and the tarpon was probably the best so far

I will definitely book with Capitan Jose Gonzalez again, he has over 30 years experience fishing in the waters of San Juan and he is the best at what he does!
