Fresh Puerto Rico Fishing Reports

Yes. Without going too far away from the Marina, we were able to catch many species of fish

Listen to your captain and trust their judgement! If the bass aren’t biting, consider Tarpon fishing instead.

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

Bring sunscreen/sun shirt, the sun is hot in the morning on the east side of the island.

Every day is different, if you are not an avid fisherman please do the reasercb.

Bring a cooler if you want to keep your catch. Leave the little ones at home - these are substantial fish that I would recommend for teenagers and above. Pick a charter like Captain Jose with the larger boat to make the trip smoother than on a smaller boat and invest in the 3/4 or full day trip to insure value and catch potential.

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

I personally didn’t fish the n Loíza, but did fish in El Naranjito resovoir.

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.

Check the weather because the water can be rough if you're not use to 3 to 5 foot waves.

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.

Take a trip with Angel Campos for freshwater fish as I did, or for brackish water fish such as tarpon

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.
