This was our first time Tarpon fishing and Tommy made it a blast! We hooked up several but never landed one. That’s ok as we would be releasing them anyway. I don’t get to spend a lot of time with my nephews so doing this with them and throwing Tommy into the mix made it one of the best trips ever! I would recommend him, let me take that back! I WILL RECOMMED HIM to everyone I know. You are the best brother! Thanks for a great time.

I had captain Miguel for my trip and he’s the best charter captain I’ve ever had.  I let him know that catching a trophy tarpon was a dream of mine and he treated it like it was his own!  After putting me on a 100+ lb tarpon within the first hour of the trip, we went on a species hunt and were able to land barracuda, Spanish mackerel and saw plenty of Snook.  He even helped us locate a place that would prepare the fish and took plenty of great pictures that will ensure that I never forget the wonderful time we had.  Absolutely a class act and I will be booking with them every time I visit PR.  Tight lines!

Worked hard so move spots and make sure we could get hooked up on a tarpon. We unfortunately were met with unfavorable weather and the fish were not being very aggressive. But I will most certainly be booking again my next time in San Juan. Our captain was super nice to be around, gave us some good places to go dance and eat/drink. He was very clearly emotionally invested in getting us fish. It wasn’t just a money grab. He was also a very sound boat captain and navigated the waters like a pro even with other boats tossing wake, and the wind kicking up waves. Smooth sailing, fun time. 10/10

Despite us not landing a single tarpon in the boat, our fishing excursion was a great time. We hooked into several tarpon and the fight was worth the price of the excursion. Seeing the fish jump out of the water was a first for me and an exciting experience.                                                               
The captain was very patient with us and answered all of our questions. He was very knowledgeable about fishing and Puerto Rico itself. I would highly recommend this fishing experience.

Capt. Cody was the man! He put us on the fish early and then explored a few different spots. He gave us a nice sampling of the area and on top of being extremely knowable, was also an awesome dude to hang with! I will for sure be recommending Backwater to friends and fam as well as coming back here the next time we are in town. All in all an awesome experience!
