Thanks |

| I've heard there is some good urban tarpon fishing there, but have no personal experience in that area. |

Last time down we used Capt. Till Brauer who runs Quick Silver Fishing Charters (http://www.quicksilver-fishing.com) out of Cangrejos Yacht Club. Till can be reached at Telephone : 787-448-6665 email captain@onelinkpr.net
We fished the Laguna La Torrecilla for Tarpon which is very near the Airport and close to San Juan. We had a fun trip and I would use Til again. |

hmmm  I guess I really need to answer this carefully.
Yes and Yes 
We boated many small Tarpon but I was unsucessful using flies. My wife was light lining live baitfish with spinning gear and did very well. There was certainly no shortage of targets to cast to during our 1/2 day trip which was in late November a few years back.

| Nice work. They are tough customers on the fly. |

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately Capt. Till is not available in the smalll window I have. I am seeing if they have another guide.
I've been researching it and it seems like a few of the other guides offer a credit of up to $100 if you don't hook a tarpon on your trip. Can't wait.
This is probably the first time I think I can say I DON'T want that $100! |
