Captain Luis is not only a great fishing guide, but of Puerto Rico itself. We started off with two hard fighting Jack Crevelle. Capt.Luis coached my 13 yr old nephew through the fight, it was pretty fun to watch. While waiting for the next strike, we got so into conversation, I missed a tarpon strike that doubled over my rod in the holder, by the time I grab the rod the huge tarpon was airborne flinging my bait out of his mouth about 10 ft in the air, truly exciting and had me focused from then on. Next was the mangroves where we landed a snook and two tarpon completing our Gland Slam! Overall we had 9 strikes and landed 5 fish! If we ever go back to San Juan we will definitely look up our new friend Captain Luis Burgos. It was a great trip with a captain that was informative not only on Puerto Rico but more importantly, how to catch and land tarpon. Next time we fish for tarpon anywhere weโll always remember to โBow to the King!โย We highly recommend Captain Luis at Backwater Fishing Charters. Thanks for a great fishing trip and experience.

I had a great time even though we did not catch any fish during the trip. Capt. Felix tried different locations but they just were not biting on our boat or those around us.
This is my second trip with Capt. Felix and this one was even better than the first trip. More Tarpon and much, much bigger. We managed to get 4 tarpon all above 60 pounds and one monster estimated above 100 pounds.
Great day fishing, highly recommend

Thanks for the review! Excellent pictures! When you get the chance please semd those to me!!
Half way in our trip we missed a very productive area tarpon jumping everywhere and all the supposedly live bait required to fully seize the moment were dead and we were brought to another area and this was a big turn-off! Also the guide does everything and doesnโt let you really enjoy the experience if you are an avid fisherman.
Thanks for dropping a review. We will like to say that we always start our day at 5:15am catching our own live bait before any costumer jump in any of our boats at 7:00am.(thatโs a big plus compare to other outfitters.) That being said, we canโt control the quality of the water on our fishing ground. On the last hour of the trip we hit this area that tarpons were eating because the bait fish was dying in the canals.(because of the quality of the water & the outgoing tide). Itโs not our fault that the quality was so bad that the bait died in our live-well. However,, Iโm happy you guys landed a couple good size tarpon! Thanks for choosing us!!!!
