Local Species Insights: Tarpon
Puerto Rico's lagoon systems create the perfect habitat for tarpon, with the Torrecilla and San Jose Lagoons being particularly productive. These fish thrive in the warm, brackish waters, feeding on the abundant baitfish that populate the mangrove-lined shorelines. Captain Rafael employs proven techniques specific to these waters, including slow-trolling live bait along channel edges and working artificial lures near structure.
March marks the beginning of prime tarpon season in San Juan as warming waters draw these magnificent gamefish into the lagoons in greater numbers. The morning hours typically produce the best action, which is why this charter departs at 6:00 am to take advantage of optimal feeding times. Anglers visiting Puerto Rico specifically seek out these lagoons for their reputation as tarpon hotspots, offering some of the most consistent action in the Caribbean.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
Your 4-hour charter begins with an early morning meet-up at the Calle Cangrejos Yacht Club. The boat comfortably accommodates up to 2 guests, ensuring personalized attention from Captain Rafael. All fishing equipment is provided, though experienced anglers are welcome to bring their preferred tackle. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing, sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and a hat for protection from the elements.
Light refreshments are available on board, but feel free to bring additional snacks or drinks. The shallow, protected waters of the lagoons typically make for a smooth experience, but those prone to motion sickness may want to take precautions. Be sure to bring a camera to capture your tarpon catches before their careful release. Captain Rafael prioritizes sustainable fishing practices to preserve Puerto Rico's valuable tarpon fishery for future generations.
