San Juan's 4-Hour Fishing Adventure
Get ready to hit the waters of San Juan for a half-day of non-stop fishing action! This 4-hour trip is perfect for anglers of all levels looking to reel in some of the area's most sought-after species. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time holding a rod, our experienced captain will make sure you're in the right spots to land the big ones. With room for up to three guests, it's an ideal outing for a small group of friends or family looking to make some unforgettable memories on the water.
What to Expect on the Water
As soon as we push off from the dock, you'll feel the excitement build. Our captain knows these waters like the back of their hand, so we'll waste no time getting to the hotspots. You'll be fishing in some of San Juan's most productive inshore areas, where the action can be fast and furious. Don't be surprised if you're battling a feisty Snook or a high-flying Tarpon within minutes of dropping your line. The beauty of this trip is its versatility – one minute you might be sight-casting to rolling Tarpon, the next you could be working a jig for some hard-fighting Jacks. And let's not forget the stunning views of San Juan's coastline that come as a bonus with every cast.
Fishing Techniques & Gear
On this trip, we'll be using a mix of light tackle and fly fishing gear, depending on your preference and the species we're targeting. If you're new to inshore fishing, don't worry – our captain will show you the ropes. We'll cover everything from how to work a topwater lure for explosive Snook strikes to the finesse required for tempting a wary Tarpon with a fly. You'll learn the art of reading the water, spotting fish, and making that perfect cast. We provide all the gear you need, from rods and reels to lures and live bait. Just bring your enthusiasm and maybe a lucky hat, and we'll take care of the rest.
Top Catches This Season
San Juan's inshore waters are teeming with game fish, and on this 4-hour trip, you've got a shot at landing some real beauties. Here's a rundown of the species you might find at the end of your line:
Snook: These hard-fighting fish are a favorite among local anglers. Known for their explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps, Snook put up a fight that'll test your skills and leave you grinning. They love to hang around mangroves and dock pilings, so we'll be targeting these structures for some heart-pounding action.
Tarpon: Often called the "silver king," Tarpon are the stuff of fishing legends. These massive fish, which can grow over 100 pounds, are known for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked. Spring and early summer are prime Tarpon time in San Juan, but we can find them year-round in the right spots.
Ladyfish: Don't let their size fool you – these small but mighty fish are a blast to catch on light tackle. They're fast, acrobatic, and often feed in schools, which means non-stop action when you find them. Perfect for anglers who love a lot of catches in a short time.
Great Barracuda: With their menacing teeth and lightning-fast strikes, Barracuda are the adrenaline junkies of the inshore world. They'll test your reflexes and your drag system, often hitting lures at full speed and putting on a show of aggressive runs and jumps.
Crevalle Jack: Pound for pound, these might be some of the hardest fighting fish in the ocean. Jacks often hunt in schools, and when you hook one, be prepared for a workout. They're known for their powerful runs and never-say-die attitude, making them a favorite among anglers who love a challenge.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
There's something special about fishing the inshore waters of San Juan that keeps anglers coming back year after year. Maybe it's the variety – where else can you target trophy Tarpon in the morning and be reeling in Snook by lunchtime? Or perhaps it's the accessibility – no long runs to offshore grounds, just quick access to prime fishing spots. But ask any regular, and they'll tell you it's the unpredictability that hooks them. Every trip is different, every cast holds the potential for that fish of a lifetime. And let's not forget the scenery – fishing against the backdrop of San Juan's beautiful coastline is something you don't get just anywhere.

Crevalle Jack
Crevalle jacks are the bulldogs of the ocean. These bruisers usually run 1-2 feet long but can hit 4 feet and 60 pounds. You'll find them in coastal waters year-round, often in big schools chasing bait to the surface. Jacks are pure muscle and put up a stubborn fight on any tackle. They're not great eating, but they're a blast to catch. Watch for birds diving - that often means jacks are pushing bait up top. Throw metal jigs, poppers, or live bait into the frenzy. Reel fast to trigger their chase instinct. A local trick is to look for that golden flash in the water as they turn sideways to attack. When you hook one, tighten the drag and hang on - jacks never give up easily!
Great Barracuda
Great barracuda are the toothy terrors of the reef. These sleek predators can top 5 feet long, with a mouthful of sharp teeth that'll make you think twice about hand-lining them. You'll find 'cudas cruising near the surface around reefs and wrecks, especially in summer. They're lightning-fast and hit lures hard. Anglers love the adrenaline rush of seeing a big 'cuda chase down a topwater plug. Wire leaders are a must - those teeth will slice through mono in a flash. Try bright tube lures or shiny spoons that mimic baitfish. A local tip: if you see a 'cuda following but not striking, give your lure some erratic jerks. That often triggers their predatory instinct. Just be careful when you land one - those teeth are no joke!
Ladyfish
Ladyfish are like mini-tarpon - fast, acrobatic, and a blast on light tackle. They usually run 1-2 feet long and hang out in shallow coastal waters year-round. Look for them chasing bait schools near beaches or in the channels. Ladyfish fight way above their weight class, leaping and thrashing when hooked. They're not much for eating, but they're perfect for getting kids or new anglers into the action. Small jigs, spoons, or live shrimp all work well. Use a light spinning setup with 8-10 lb test line for the most sport. A useful trick is to reel fast and erratically - ladyfish love chasing down a lure that looks like it's trying to escape. Just be ready for some aerial acrobatics when they hit!
Snook
Snook are sneaky predators that'll give you a real fight. They usually hang out in coastal waters, mangroves, and estuaries, looking for an easy meal. Most are 1-2 feet long, but the big ones can hit 4 feet. Spring and fall are prime snook seasons here in San Juan. Anglers love 'em for their explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps. To land one, try live bait like pilchards or shrimp near structure. Cast close to mangrove roots or dock pilings - that's where they ambush prey. When you feel a hit, set the hook hard and be ready for a battle. Snook have rough mouths, so use a sturdy leader. They're catch-and-release only in most areas, but putting one in the boat is still a thrill. Just watch those gill plates when you're unhooking them - they're razor sharp.
Tarpon
Tarpon are the silver kings of saltwater fishing. These prehistoric-looking beasts can grow over 6 feet long and 100 pounds around here. You'll find them rolling and gulping air in coastal waters, especially in spring and early summer. Tarpon put on an amazing show - they'll jump clear out of the water, rattling that bony mouth plate. It's a real rush when a big one hits your bait. Use heavy tackle and hang on tight. Live mullet or crabs work well, or you can throw big flashy flies if you're up for a challenge. The key is a smooth, steady retrieve to trigger their predator instinct. Set the hook when you feel weight, not on the initial strike. Even if you don't land one, just seeing a tarpon in the air is something you won't forget.
