Located in San Juan, Captain Clery and his crew lead fishing enthusiasts through the famous tarpon-filled waters of Laguna San JosĆ© and Laguna Torrecilla. These saltwater lagoons, surrounded by extensive red mangrove forests in the center of the hotel zone, are widely recognized for year-round opportunities to catch tarpon, snook, and jacks using fly fishing and light tackle techniques. Departing from the boca de cangrejos area, just a short distance from Isla Verde, Condado, and Old San Juan, the team offers quick access to calm, sheltered waters perfect for sight fishing. With a fleet of five boats, Captain Clery and his experienced guides provide tailored fishing experiences, offering rich local insights, patient teaching, and a genuine enthusiasm for helping anglers pursue these remarkable inshore fish species. Our trip was fantastic. Clery was accommodating, and our guide Manny was exceptional. Weāre already looking forward to our next outing.
