Embark on a thrilling 4-hour night fishing trip with Captain Angel in the renowned inshore fishing grounds of San Juan! Known worldwide as one of the best spots for Tarpon fishing, this adventure offers the chance to hook these impressive "Silver Kings," and potentially catch Snook, Spanish Mackerel, or Horse-eye Jack as well.
You’ll be fishing in the heart of the San Jose and Torrecilla lagoons, home to these legendary inshore giants. These six interconnected lagoons, linked by mangrove canals, rank among the top five Tarpon fishing destinations globally. Trust Captain Angel’s expert guidance—he knows exactly where the fish are biting!
Tarpon are spectacular acrobats of the sea, providing an exhilarating aerial display with every fight. Whether you prefer rod and reel or fly fishing, these powerful fish—sometimes weighing over 100 pounds—offer a challenging and rewarding battle. Factors such as tides, weather, and moon phases influence their activity, but Tarpon are perpetually hungry and will strike both live and artificial bait. Don’t forget your camera, as landing a Tarpon is a breathtaking moment you’ll want to remember. These captivating fish are catch-and-release only, and one encounter is sure to leave you eager for more.
Many fish are more active at night, especially the larger predators who hunt after sunset. Captain Angel prefers evening departures not only to take advantage of prime feeding times but also to avoid the daytime heat. During these trips, you’ll have the opportunity to target a wide variety of species, aiming for an exciting inshore fishing slam!
Captain Angel provides all the necessary gear for a successful night on the water, including rods, reels, tackle, and live bait, all included in the price. The trip also offers bottled water and a selection of soft drinks, though you may want to bring your own snacks for the outing.
