The most common fishing techniques in Puerto Rico are light tackle fishing, live bait fishing, and fly fishing but artificial lure fishing and cut bait fishing are popular as well.

How much do Puerto Rico tarpon 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 tarpon fishing in Puerto Rico?

The most popular season for tarpon fishing in Puerto Rico is spring, and most anglers book their trips 13 days in advance.

    Captain Shag was amazing put us on fish right away! Taught some tips on catching and was super knowable about the area. Would definitely use these guys again. The communication and support was awesome.

    Trip: Tarpon & Snook - 22' Quick Bite

  • ★★★★★
    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
