Well-rounded fisheries are hard to come by these days, which is why fishing in Fajardo, Puerto Rico should be top of the list for any angler visiting this tropical island. This town is the number one sportfishing destination in Puerto Rico, and owes its success to the rich waters that surround it.
The inshore bays are home to year-round populations of Tarpon, Snook, Bonefish, and Jacks, so there’s always the chance of hooking a trophy slam! Head a little further out, and a whole range of islets and coral reefs lend themselves to dazzling and delicious creatures. Bottom fish for Snappers, Groupers, and Mackerel for a tasty treat to take back to shore.
Most serious anglers come here for one thing, and that’s “Marlin Alley.” Just a stone’s throw from shore, the current brings in a load of Blue and White Marlin, Sailfish, and even Spearfish, so you could land yourself a record-breaking catch. Not only that, but Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo are all on the cards, so you could land some meat here, too.
With so much on offer, you can land that dream catch on a trip as short as half a day. Inshore and nearshore trips are more suited to beginners and families, while offshore fishing is reserved for the more experienced. Heck, you could even make a full day of it! l Head down to the town’s marina – the largest in the Caribbean – and let a professional captain show you what’s what.
Reglas & Regulaciones
An additional bonus of heading out aboard a Fajardo fishing charter is that you won’t need to get a license – the captain’s will cover you too! Your experienced guide will also make sure you fish within all legal limits, including releasing all Tarpon, Bonefish, and Billfish.
