San Juan, PR is home to some of the best tarpon fishing in the world. Light tackle and fly fishing enthusiasts journey from all over the world to fish the brackish waters of Laguna San Jose and Laguna Torrecilla for tarpon, jacks, and snook.
Gorgeous and seemingly endless red mangroves span the horizon right on the middle of the hotel district. The marina (Cangrejos Yacht Club) is just a mere three to five mile run from Isla Verde, Condado and old San Juan.
Customers have the option of paying just $50 at the time of booking, and the remaining balance will be due upon arrival. Backwater Tarpon PR is one of the premier fishing charters in San Juan, so come and enjoy a perfect day of light tackle angling with us.
These are our Tarpon Fishing techniques that have made our fishing charter the most successful in Puerto Rico:
- We specialize in live bait for tarpon fishing like perch pinfish, greenbacks, and herring.
- We can use big topwater baits and minnow imitations as well as soft plastic baits.
- For tarpon fishing and smaller tarpon, you could drop down to 12 or 15-lb tackle depending on the size of the tarpon.
