The most common fishing techniques in San Juan are light tackle fishing, fly fishing, and artificial lure fishing but trolling and live bait fishing are popular as well.

How much do San Juan fishing charters cost?

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for fishing in San Juan?

The most popular season for fishing in San Juan is spring, and most anglers book their trips 24 days in advance.

    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!
