Hey there, angler! Ready for a full day of non-stop action on Puerto Rico's legendary waters? Our 8-hour charter trip is the real deal, giving you the freedom to chase after some of the most sought-after game fish in the Caribbean. We're talking world-class Tarpon, hard-fighting Snook, and a whole bunch of other species that'll keep your rod bent from sunup to sundown.
Picture this: You're cruising through the crystal-clear waters of Torrecilla and San Jose Lagoons, the sun warming your face as you scout for rolling Tarpon. These lagoons are the stuff of fishing legends, and for good reason. One minute you're reeling in a feisty Ladyfish, the next you're locked in an epic battle with a monster Snook. And the best part? You can split your trip into two 4-hour sessions if you want, perfect for beating the midday heat or exploring different hotspots.
We've got all the gear you need, from top-notch rods and reels to the latest in fish-finding tech. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time wetting a line, we'll get you on the fish. We might start the day tossing lures along mangrove shorelines for Snook, then switch to live bait fishing for Tarpon as the tide changes. As the day heats up, we could hit some deeper holes for Snapper and Grouper. It's all about reading the water and giving you the best shot at a memorable catch.
Let me tell you, the fishing's been on fire lately. We've been seeing some monster Tarpon in the 100+ pound range, putting on aerial displays that'll have your heart racing. The Snook bite has been consistent too, especially around structure and during the early morning hours. And don't even get me started on the variety – one day last week, we hooked into Ladyfish, Snapper, Grouper, and Mackerel all before lunch. It's the kind of action that keeps anglers coming back year after year.
Tarpon: These silver kings are the crown jewels of inshore fishing. Known for their explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps, Tarpon in Puerto Rico can reach well over 100 pounds. They're most active during the warmer months, and hooking one is just the start – landing a Tarpon is a true test of an angler's skill and endurance.
Snook: Pound for pound, Snook are some of the hardest-fighting fish in these waters. They love to hang around mangroves and other structure, ambushing their prey with lightning-fast strikes. The challenge of extracting a big Snook from its hidey-hole is what makes them such a favorite among local and visiting anglers alike.
Ladyfish: Don't let their size fool you – these speedsters punch well above their weight class. Often called the "poor man's tarpon," Ladyfish are known for their acrobatic fights and are a blast on light tackle. They're abundant year-round and make for excellent sport, especially when the bigger game fish are playing hard to get.
It's not just about the fish, though that's a big part of it. It's the whole package – the stunning scenery, the rush of battling a big fish in tropical paradise, and the stories you'll take home with you. Our flexible schedule means we can adapt to what's biting and where, maximizing your chances for that trophy catch. Plus, with all gear provided, you just need to show up ready for action. Bring some grub, slap on some sunscreen, and get ready for a day you won't forget.

We're talking world-class fishing in some of the most beautiful waters you'll ever see. Eight full hours of chasing after hard-fighting fish, with the flexibility to fish how and when you want.

Let's make it happen – book your trip today and let's get out on the water!
Ladyfish are a fun, action-packed catch in our lagoons. These slender, silvery fish typically run 1-2 feet long but can put up an impressive fight for their size. You'll find them in shallow coastal waters, often near mangroves or reefs. Ladyfish are active year-round but seem to bite best in warmer months. Anglers love targeting them for their acrobatic leaps and speedy runs when hooked. While not prized for eating, they make great cut bait for other species. To boost your chances, try using small jigs or live shrimp on a light spinning setup. Cast near structure and retrieve with quick, erratic jerks - ladyfish can't resist chasing down a lively-looking bait. Just be ready for some aerial action when you hook up!
Snook are one of our most popular gamefish here in Puerto Rico. These sleek predators usually run 2-3 feet long, with some monsters pushing 4 feet. You'll find them lurking around mangroves, bridges, and inlets - anywhere there's structure and moving water. Spring and fall are prime seasons as snook gather to spawn. Anglers prize them for their hard strikes and powerful runs. Plus, they're excellent eating if you decide to keep one. To boost your odds, try free-lining live bait like pilchards or pinfish on an outgoing tide. Work your bait slowly along mangrove edges or drop-offs. When a snook hits, be ready to let it run before setting the hook hard. These guys have soft mouths, so keep steady pressure to avoid losing them at the boat.
Tarpon are the crown jewels of our inshore fishery. These prehistoric beasts can top 6 feet and 150 pounds, with powerful runs and spectacular aerial leaps. You'll find them cruising the flats or rolling in deeper channels, especially in spring and summer. Anglers come from all over to battle these giants on light tackle. It's pure adrenaline when a big silver king goes airborne. While we practice catch and release, just landing one is a real trophy. For the best shot, we'll sight-fish with live crabs or mullet on the flats. Once hooked up, bow to the king when it jumps to avoid breaking off. Be patient - these fights can last over an hour. Landing your first tarpon is something you'll never forget.
