Fresh San Juan Fishing Reports

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.

If you are looking for a Captain who's passion is putting his customers on fish than Captain Carlos is your man. My experience with Carlos was the high point of my trip to this beautiful paradise. I look forward to returning next year to put in some more time in fishing these productive waters. Fish on Captain, Fish on. Peace

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.

If you're not used to it, the sun can be nearly overwhelming. Come prepared.

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

TODA PERSONA PUEDE PESCAR EN SAN JUAN AUNQUE SEA PRINCIPIANTE COMO NOSOTROS

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

Absolutely book these guys! Great day on the water! Even my wife, who dislikes fishing, had a great time!

Target tarpon in the canals and don't be afraid to plunk dead bait on the bottom!

The water there is very choppy so take your dramamine! We had some on board that have been fishing for years in the Atlantic that got seasick.

Bring medication if you are prone to motion sickness. Even on calm days, the ocean swells can be uncomfortable.

I would strongly recommend sun protection hat, spf clothing and sunblock. We had a gorgeous day and it was 5 hours of staight sun.

Use really good sunscreen, bring plenty of water, and be ready to have a great time!
