Is a mix of juveniles and medium sized tarpons, because the rain has in the past few days they are getting more active and we should get some more bigger ones showing up.

Reef fishing has been the top producer in April and May here in San Juan. Kingfish, Cero mackerel, mutton snapper, jacks, barracuda and reef sharks have all been present in good numbers. Offshore it's a transition period but we did catch some marlin and yellowfin tuna. Inshore tarpon fishing has been good, with bigger fish in the mix now along with the juveniles.

Rafa was great. Loaded up on baitfish quickly, then right to the tarpon. Very pleasant, knowledgeable and even when it got slow was doing his best to get us on the fish. Even going past our allotted time to get one more.
We had an incredible fishing trip with Bryon in Puerto Rico! From the moment we stepped on the boat, he made our family feel welcome and comfortable. He was especially amazing with our kids—patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in making sure they had a great time. He took the time to teach them, celebrate every catch, and kept them engaged the entire trip.
Bryon was knowledgeable, professional, and clearly passionate about what he does. He knew exactly where to go and worked hard to make our trip successful while keeping the atmosphere fun and relaxed. Our family made memories we’ll never forget, and the kids are already asking when we can go again!
If you’re looking for a fishing guide in Puerto Rico who is fantastic with families and truly goes above and beyond, we highly recommend Bryon. Five stars all the way!
Fernando took me fishing in the lagoons around San Juan and did an excellent job teaching, conversing, and putting me on huge tarpon. He's a great guide and speaks perfect English (and Spanish) for those from the States. His style of fishing is a bit more active for both him and the client, as he will pole the boat in shallow water to sight-fish for monster tarpon feeding in the shallows. We had a great trip - if I did a better job taking his instruction I could have landed three or four tarpon. As it was, this novice bass fisherman landed one beautiful tarpon, hooked another monster that got away, and missed hook-sets on two others. It was an exciting day!
We had a great time even though the waves were high. Only got one in the boat but Luis was amazing and very friendly. All in all great experience great time good times with good people.
Great day on the water. Captain Javier is very knowledgeable and capable. He's intimatelyfamiliar with the San Jose inshore areas. Next time we'rein PR we plan on going off shore with him.
