This week we had Hurricane Fiona and the Tarpon are eating aggressive. The North and Northeast of the Island are running 100%. Our Tarpon are resident Tarpon so we have them all year around.

Excellent 4 hour trip today with Captain Francisco. He was very knowledgeable and patient with us. He did not mind my 9 year old casting our dink rod we brought from home. We caught several tarpon, and watched them roll around us all morning. I definitely recommend this trip!

Bucket list trip with Carlos. He really worked for the fish which were being lazy that day, but he found them! Great experience in nature and chasing tarpon. He was an expert guide and we cannot wait to go back. Basically in town and the easiest trip ever! Lunch in Loíza beforehand was an added bonus. Would highly recommend these guys.

We had an awesome time tarpon fishing with Fernando. We saw an insane number of fish with plenty of giants mixed in and were able to boat a few on the fly! The lagoons are beautiful and we were the only boat out there. Amazing trip, can't wait to get back! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences
