Backwater Tarpon Fishing Charters Puerto Rico

We went on a 6 hour fly fishing trip with Tommy today and it was amazing. He is a great guide, knows the waters around San Juan so well and got us onto numerous areas of feeding Tarpon. We boated 3 and had several more hook ups throughout the day. His knowledge of fly fishing is extensive and he even took the time to help my wife iron out some issues with her cast. I cannot recommend him and Backwater Tarpon fishing any more highly. If we make it back to Puerto Rico I will definitely book with Tommy and Backwater again.

Fernando was our guide and he was great. He put us on several large tarpon and a beautiful snook. I will definitely be back.

Exactly what I was looking for and then some! Fernando was an excellent captain and even dove into the water to get my tangled fish. Very accommodating and not to mention we were the only boat of the day to catch a fish! Fernando holds the title for second biggest tarpon caught in Puerto Rican history…he clearly knows what he’s doing!

Exceptional Guide!! Highly recommend!! Fishing with Clery was the highlight of my trip to Puerto Rico. Caught several beautiful tarpon and bonus Mangrove Snappers. The true catch of the day was a monstrous trophy tarpon (5’5 feet/70-80 pounds). Very personable which I think is important in a guide since you’re in a boat together all day and there’s sure to be down time. I’ve had dozens of guides throughout the years and Clergy is one of my top three. Extremely knowledgeable in the area and tarpon fishing, explains everything like the back of his hand. He impressed the heck out of me when I saw him hold a rod with one hand and driving the boat with the other helping me chase that trophy tarpon when I needed a break during the fight. All with a calm face the entire time, talk about easier said then done. Thank you so much backwater tarpon for the lifetime memories!

This is a must do if you enjoy fishing. Trips designed around your needs. Captain Miguel was outstanding. He took us to where the tarpon were, set up several rods, in gave perfect instructions on how to catch them. We caught 2 massive tarpon in 2 hours. This was so much fun.
