Book with Backwater Tarpon Fishing and ask for Alex. You won’t be disappointed!

Found out it is a little.more choppy this time of year, we were lucky it was a calmer day
Josh Moulton
The Tarpon were on a feeding frenzy. So many fishing rolling. The guide was amazing
Randall Miller
Watch the weather and communicate with your captain. You can’t control tough weather days.
Samantha Mickens
The weather can be hit or miss. Makes it hard to predict the fishing at this time.
Christopher Arnold
The trip is just as advertised. Bring medicine if anyone with you has seasickness.
Moslem Hamed
It’s typically dry season but don’t have it fool you water stays the same temperature
Isaac Smith
Go for the Tarpon, but be ready for a hard rest after, the fight is a true battle.
Michael FOLK
Mayb3 not the best time of year for fishing
Colder months condense the fish better.
Kyle Jackson
Be patient and listen to the captain explaining how to catch and land a tarpon.
Brandon Bugos
Lots of trash in the lagoon. Good opportunity for tarpon. Good weather. Not too hot yet.
Maki Uchida
Tarpon fishing is a waiting game. First time tarpon fishers should bring their patience!
Joe Lehner
This was first time tarpon fishing so it's hard to say what great fishing is with no comparison
Brady Gregor
Give yourself a long enough trip to hook up multiple time. Tarpon are very allusive.
Nate Reiman
I would definitely book at least 4 hours as the captain sometimes needs time to find the fish.
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

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

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.

Carefully look at what you are booking and ensure it matches what you are hoping to do.
