During the winter months, from December to February, anglers in Loiza can expect to encounter an abundance of migratory species such as tarpon, snook, and bonefish in the region's shallow flats and mangrove-lined estuaries. These months offer excellent conditions for sight-fishing and fly fishing, as the clear waters and calmer weather make it easier to spot and target elusive game fish.

In the spring and summer months, from March to August, fishing in Loiza reaches its peak as warmer temperatures bring an influx of baitfish and trigger increased activity among predatory species. Anglers can expect to encounter a wide variety of game fish both inshore and offshore, including tarpon, snook, bonefish, permit, marlin, sailfish, dorado, and more. The summer months are particularly popular for deep-sea fishing excursions, with calmer seas and favorable weather conditions making it ideal for targeting big game species.

This approach allows for a relaxed yet rewarding experience, with the possibility of reeling in a variety of species such as snapper, tarpon, and snook. As the waves gently lap against the shoreline, anglers can immerse themselves in the tranquil surroundings while waiting for a bite.
