I'm wondering if any avid fisherman would be willing to share their favorite spot or story to go either fresh or saltwater fishing in Puerto Rico. I've had good offshore experience in "El bajo de Palmas" for Tuna, wahoo and you ...
Jeanene: Culebra is full of English speaking folks. You should pay Culebra a weekend visit and have lobster and wine at "El Eden", go to the dinghy dock and make friends, catch some rays at beautiful Flamingo beach on the west side or ... Read More

Hola Jeanne: Fajardo is a place where water taxis are abundant in Puerto Rico. You can go to marina Puerto Chico, Marina Puerto del Rey, or just go to Las Croabas boat ramp that I'm pretty certain you'll catch a ride. You can catch the ... Read More

I agree that the waters on the west coast are better suited for a ski boat and and if you ask around, you'll find the boat ramp in Cabo Rojo easily. You can't miss it but watch out for holiday weekends because there'll be long lines of ... Read More

In order to operate a boat in Puerto Rico, you need to have a PR permit on it and all USCG rules apply the same as it does Stateside. Oh and yes, you can operate a boat in that canal easily. We were in a 21ft Polar, pretty beat up I might add and ... Read More

Briefly hooked a King Mackerel in front of El Morro but he got away at the very end. Beautiful day, calm sea but nothing caught. I was shown a new fishing spot right in front of Plaza Las Americas for snook and tarpon. I might Kayak my way in there ... Read More

Salt Water- You can never go wrong with squid. You can also try ballyhoo or the local brackish mullet (jarea in Spanish). Squid may be found in the local supermarket and all three in any fishing village for sale on the cheap. Your best bet is Club ... Read More

Spencer: I did some spearfishing with SCUBA gear around "La Cueva del Indio" in Vega Baja about 35 years ago and I caught grouper that was on average, 1.5 to 3.5 lbs. I also saw some yellow tail and barracuda among other fish. I remember ... Read More

To my surprise, I learned this morning that my wife bought me as a Father's day gift a half day trip to go tarpon fishing in the San Juan bay harbor for $179 this next Friday, June 22. I'll post results and/or pics but if the fishing is as ... Read More

Before 1990, mandatory liability insurance was not a requirement in Puerto Rico and you had lots of uninsured motorists out there. I had the unfortunate experience to get hit by an individual without insurance coverage. At least something's out ... Read More
