We went fishing in the afternoon. The trip started at 3 o clock at Torrecilla Lagoon. We released two tarpon and had another seven bites. My kids each lipped their first tarpon. Definitely it was a very motive day for me to see my kids enjoying fishing as much as I do.

We went nearshore at Isla Verde beach and caught a Tarpon and a Barracuda. Then we went inshore at Torrecillas Lagoon and released a couple more Tarpon. We used live Sardine as bait. The trip was amazing!

If you are looking to fish for tarpon? Don't look further! Our location is the mecca for tarpon fishing in Puerto Rico. We recently moved from San Juan Bay to the Laguna Torrecilla/San Jose which was ranked one of the top 10 spots for tarpon fishing. Why? Our vast lagoon is perfect for marine life, providing infinite sources of bait all year round for our resident fish. Contrary from San Juan Bay which you would encounter average of 15-25lb tarpon, in the lagoons we encounter 60-90lb tarpon. So get your big boy pants on and come fishing with Backwater Tarpon PR!

The day started as a regular Tarpon Fishing Charter but the water was so calm that we couldn't resist the urge to go offshore fishing! Great day! Great action! Caught some blackfin, yellowtails, mahi and fought a big wahoo for a while! At the end he managed to spit the hook!! Maybe next time!
