From the speedy jack crevalle to the toothy barracuda, this trip packs a punch that'll leave you grinning from ear to ear.

Trip Overview

Jump aboard our well-equipped boat and get ready for non-stop action. We'll zip out to the local hotspots where the fish are biting, and you'll be casting lines in no time. Our captain knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for some of the best fishing San Juan has to offer. We provide all the gear you need, including live bait, cut bait, and artificial lures – whatever's working best that day. With a max of two guests, you'll get plenty of one-on-one attention to fine-tune your technique and maximize your chances of landing a trophy.

Rods, Reels, and Hotspots

On this trip, we're all about versatility. You might be tossing topwater lures for explosive strikes one minute, then switching to live bait for those deeper-holding fish the next. We'll use light to medium tackle, perfect for the inshore species we're after. Depending on the day, we might be working mangrove shorelines, drifting over grass flats, or targeting structure like bridges and docks. The beauty of San Juan fishing is that the action can change by the minute, so be ready to adapt and have a blast!

Target Species

Snook: These hard-fighting linesiders are a San Juan favorite. Snook love to hang around structure, so we'll be targeting mangroves, docks, and bridge pilings. They're known for their explosive strikes and powerful runs, often leaping clear out of the water. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but you can catch snook year-round in San Juan.

Tarpon: The "silver king" is the ultimate game fish for many anglers. Tarpon in San Juan can range from 20 to over 100 pounds, and their acrobatic jumps and stubborn fights are the stuff of fishing legends. We typically target them in the warmer months, using live bait or artificial lures. Even if you don't land one, just seeing a big tarpon roll on the surface is a thrill you won't forget.

Ladyfish: Don't let their size fool you – these small but mighty fish punch way above their weight class. Often called "poor man's tarpon," ladyfish are known for their aerial displays and fast runs. They're great fun on light tackle and are perfect for anglers of all skill levels. You can catch them year-round in San Juan, and they make for excellent live bait if you're looking to target bigger predators.

Great Barracuda: With their menacing teeth and lightning-fast attacks, barracuda are one of the most exciting fish to catch in San Juan waters. We often find them lurking around reefs and drop-offs, ready to ambush their prey. Casting shiny lures or trolling with live bait can trigger their predatory instincts. Be prepared for heart-stopping surface strikes and blistering runs that'll test your drag system.

Crevalle Jack: If you're looking for a fish that pulls like a freight train, the jack crevalle is your target. These powerful swimmers often travel in schools, creating exciting opportunities for multiple hookups. We'll look for birds diving on bait schools to find the jacks. When they're feeding on the surface, the water looks like it's boiling – it's a sight every angler should experience. Jacks are around all year but are especially active in the warmer months.

What to Expect on the Water

Our Quick Cast trip is all about maximizing your time on the water. We'll start with a brief rundown of the day's game plan and any safety info you need to know. Then it's lines in and fish on! Your captain will be right there to offer tips on casting, working your lure, and fighting fish. We move quickly between spots to keep the action hot, so you might want to bring a light jacket for the ride. Don't forget your camera – the catches and scenery in San Juan are definitely photo-worthy.

Learn more about the species

Crevalle Jack

Crevalle jacks are the bulldogs of the flats. These powerful fish usually run 2-3 feet but can top 4 feet and 50 pounds. You'll find them cruising shallow flats, channels, and nearshore reefs. They're around all year but most active in warmer months. Jacks are known for their brute strength and stamina - hook one and you're in for a workout. When targeting jacks, I tell folks to watch for birds diving on bait schools. That's often a sign jacks are feeding below. Topwater plugs and silver spoons are deadly. Work them fast and be ready for explosive strikes. Once hooked, these fish will try to bull their way back to structure. Keep the pressure on and pump that rod. Jacks aren't great eating, but the pure power of catching one keeps anglers coming back for more.

Great Barracuda

Great barracuda are the toothy terrors of the flats. These sleek predators can top 5 feet and 50 pounds around here. You'll spot them lurking near reefs, wrecks, and channel edges. They're most active in warmer months but around all year. Cudas are famous for their lightning-fast strikes and intimidating teeth. Hooking one means an intense fight with blistering runs. When targeting barracuda, I always tell folks to use wire leaders - those teeth will slice through mono like butter. Tube lures and surface plugs work great. Just retrieve fast and erratically to trigger that predatory instinct. Be careful when landing them - those teeth are no joke. Barracuda aren't prized eating, but the sport of catching them keeps anglers coming back for more.

Ladyfish

Ladyfish are the perfect warmup fish - they're abundant, acrobatic, and a blast on light tackle. These slender silver bullets usually run 1-2 feet long. You'll find them in coastal waters, estuaries, and even up into freshwater at times. They're around all year but really active in warmer months. Ladyfish are known for their tail-walking jumps and blistering runs. They may not be dinner table fare, but pound-for-pound they're one of the sportiest fish out there. When targeting ladyfish, I tell folks to use small jigs or spoons and retrieve fast. These fish are pure predators - they love the chase. Keep your drag set light and rod tip up when they jump to avoid shake-offs. It's not uncommon to catch dozens in a session once you find a school. Great practice for building those fish-fighting skills.

Snook

Snook are a prized catch around here, usually running 1-2 feet long but can get up to 4 feet. You'll find them hanging out near mangroves, seawalls, and bridge pilings. These ambush predators love structure. Spring and fall are prime seasons when water temps are right. Snook put up an awesome fight - they'll make blistering runs and try to wrap you around obstacles. Their meat is delicious too, though highly regulated. When targeting snook, I always tell folks to use a stout leader. Those gill plates are like razor blades and will slice through light line. Live bait like pilchards or pinfish works great, but artificials like swim baits can be deadly too. Just remember to work them with erratic twitches to trigger that predatory instinct.

Tarpon

Tarpon are the silver kings of sportfishing. These prehistoric beasts can top 6 feet and 150 pounds around here. You'll find them rolling in coastal waters, channels, and estuaries. Spring and early summer are prime for big migratory fish. Tarpon are famous for their acrobatic leaps and dogged stamina - hooking one is just the start of an epic battle. It's all catch-and-release, but the thrill of the fight keeps anglers coming back. When targeting tarpon, I always tell folks to be ready for that initial explosion. Keep your rod tip down and line tight when they jump to avoid throwing the hook. Live bait like mullet or crabs work well, but nothing beats sight-casting with flies or artificials to a laid-up fish. Just be patient and wait for that eat - it's addictive.
