Trip Overview

Picture this: You're gliding through pristine waters, surrounded by mangroves, with your line in the water and anticipation building. That's what you're in for on this private charter. We'll be trolling for a mixed bag of fish – from the acrobatic ladyfish to the sought-after snapper and grouper. And let's not forget the possibility of hooking into a monster tarpon that'll have you holding on for dear life. The best part? We've got all the gear covered. Just bring your sun protection, a can-do attitude, and get ready to make some serious fishing memories.

Techniques on the Water

Alright, let's talk strategy. We'll be using a mix of techniques to target these inshore species. Trolling is our bread and butter here – we'll be dragging lures behind the boat to entice strikes from a variety of fish. For the tarpon and snook, we might switch it up with some live bait fishing or casting artificial lures around structure. The lagoons we fish are like a maze of fishy hideouts, so we'll be maneuvering through channels and around mangrove edges where the big boys like to hang out. Capt. Rafael knows these waters like the back of his hand, so you're in for some primo spot-hopping that'll keep the action hot all day long.

Top Catches This Season

Our anglers have been knocking it out of the park lately. We've seen some real bruiser tarpon hitting the deck – we're talking 100-pound-plus silver kings that'll test your stamina and make for epic photos. Snook have been on fire too, with some chunky linesiders in the 20-pound range giving folks a run for their money. And don't sleep on the ladyfish – these "poor man's tarpon" might not be the biggest, but they're a blast on light tackle and put on an aerial show that's hard to beat.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Ladyfish: Don't let their size fool you – these silver torpedoes are pound-for-pound one of the most exciting fish you'll tangle with. They're known for their blistering runs and acrobatic leaps that'll have you whooping and hollering. Ladyfish are around pretty much year-round, but they really show up in force during the warmer months. Light tackle is the way to go here – you'll feel every head shake and jump.

Snook: Ah, the mighty snook – the ghost of the mangroves. These ambush predators are prized for their hard-fighting nature and delicious fillets (when in season). They love to hang around structure, so we'll be targeting them near mangrove roots and fallen trees. Snook fishing heats up in the spring and fall, but you can catch them year-round if you know where to look. Landing a big snook is a real feather in any angler's cap.

Tarpon: The silver king, the bucket list fish, the ultimate inshore challenge – tarpon are what dreams are made of. These prehistoric beasts can grow over 200 pounds and are famous for their gill-rattling jumps and long, powerful runs. Tarpon fishing in Puerto Rico is world-class, with peak season running from late spring through early fall. Hooking one is exciting, but landing one? That's a story you'll be telling for years to come.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

It's not just about the fish – though let's be honest, the fishing here is off the charts. It's the whole package that keeps folks coming back for more. The serene beauty of the lagoons, the thrill of never knowing what's gonna hit your line next, and the chance to learn from a pro like Capt. Rafael. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time wetting a line, there's something special about being out on these waters. And let's not forget the bragging rights – nothing beats showing off photos of your Puerto Rican fishing conquests to your buddies back home.
