Hi Folks!
Since last report on Nov our tarpon fishing charter customers had the opportunity to enjoy an incredible tarpon season. A good example was from the middle of April to the last week of March where we land 23 tarpon between 80 to 137 pounds plus a little over 80 tarpon of average size tarpon. This net won’t include snook action.





Snook fishing was on fire for a couple of day where we land over 6 double digits snook on two triple header. We also had some days with up to 23 snook on the boat.

Off shore we had a very steady season for mahi mahi.


We just change our tackle from 20 pound test and ballyhoo to our 80 Shimano Tiagra Two Speed and our selection of branded lures after hearings report from a boat who fought a nice blue for over 3 hours after braking the light 30 pound test. We also keep some 50 test light tackle experience or some tunas. Our deep sea fishing charters are fully rigged and ready for the blue marlin season
I need to bring this to all my readers, web page visitors and repeat customers. All the brochure stands are not in most of the popular hotels any more, since most of the concierge desk the hotel subcontract don’t agree to have competitors advertising tours operators they don’t sell, endorse or adapt to their policies, charges and methods of payments. You are not going to have access to our information since we are not part or work at the moment with most independence tour and travel desk or concierge based on their agreement. Please make your reservations before you show up in the Island if you would like to use our services or any other tour operator you find online. It will be hard to find that specific service once your are in the Island and is not part of

Hi Folks!!
I am so exited I can’t control my self. The tarpon bite this fall is like I haven’t see in years. Almost every trip we land a tarpon over 50-60 pounds and on good tides multiple up to 100 pounds. In last two has been extremely constant with nice size tarpon. I guided Adrew from Australia where he was able to land 15, 25, 50 on 8 pound test a 70 and a 90 pounder by 11:30am. Today I guide another group of 3 anglers including Mr. Hampton where we land 6 tarpon from 50 to 100 pounds

1-50lbs
1-60lbs
3-70lbs
1-100lbs
This include 3 double headers where 2 of them got land both tarpon and the las double header we lost both tarpon.

Thank you for your time!!

Hi!
Well nature is not perfect in time and can hit us on bad cycles o good cycles. What I mean is about tides, salt water fishing is a combination of different factors, like time, tides rule by moon phases and weather or barometric pressures changes. Some time we tangle in to cycles where we are not having that peak tide when would like, during morning or close to sunset which are the time we normally fish our lagoons system. Well things have just change, the lagoons are load with tarpon in the last 2-3 days. Capt. David yesterday land 2 tarpon on fly and 3 on bait plus 3 nice size snooks. Today was even better he land two 20 ponder, 15, 40, 60 and fought a 100+ plus tarpon for over 15 minutes before pulling the hook on it. That’s with a total of 15 bites plus 3 snooks. This tidal cycle will stay with us for the next 6 month or so bringing more 15 bites mornings than normal.
Offshore action is changing for good and early. This morning First Lady landed 5 mahis and lost few more on 1/2 day in the morning, nice size mahi-mahis on light tackle is always fun!
I had read online, customers who has fish with different charters services in our lagoons system next to the airport, bringing the attention and even trashing charters services on Trip Advisor about the time we spend getting bait. I think is not fair to trash or having a bad impression of all of us without understanding why this happen and avoid judging or said that we are not ready. In real bad days it can take 30 – 40 minutes out of your 4 hour regular charter to get the bait. I would like to provide explanations about this matter to avoid misunderstanding with any of the services who works in the lagoons next to the airport and their customers. When we go and get bait for our customers is the most difficult part of our job, is dirty, wet, tedious and some time more frustrated for the guide than the customer, not mention the average weight of the net is 15 pounds every time you cast it. That’s hard work and this can be one of the main reasons why we have so many excellent results and the numbers on different reports from different charters services matching great numbers and the consistency of those. I think this have a lot to do with fresh bait. We can’t save bait for the next day since it can die for the salinity change from where we fish the bait or where they lived to where the boats are and this will kills it. When you visit fishing destination that hasn’t been commercialized with tons of charter and pleasure boats, fishing pressure and all the aftermath that crowds bring, is not typical to find a live bait shop who will survive with so little activity from fisherman.
To try to minimize this discomfort, please our customers, make Puerto Rico a better fishing destination and concern with time consuming of bait catching we will ad 1/2 extra hour for the same price when you book with Caribbean Outfitters. Thank you for your time!
