Tarpon Spots in Puerto Rico

"I really wish we had more time to fish," is the thought that went through my mind on an annoyingly repetitive basis throughout my trip in Puerto Rico. My family who lives there constantly talked about how there are tons of Tarpon all over the island and no fly fisherman are ever around especially not outside of San Juan where they get a few anglers each year.

Eating dinner we would see Tarpon swarming waiting for guests to hand off extra chicken and fish, and in the marinas the Tarpon fins were rolling as we came to dock. Indeed to go back, we need to get some hard core anglers and check it out. It's not like I was a seeing a few baby tarpon in the mangroves... these were like 40-100lb fish just laying around chillin' out.

These images are of an island off of Puerto Rico that my family was telling me has a lot of Tarpon on a lagoon at the end of the point. I thought I would share it so you can see how nice it would be to spend some days on the water in this atmosphere.

Looks like paradise to me.
