Puerto Rico offers year-round fishing, but each season brings different opportunities. Here's what to expect.
Dry Season
December - May
December through May brings calm seas, lower humidity, and the best overall fishing conditions. Yellowfin tuna, wahoo, and blue marlin are in peak form. Bonefish and permit fishing on the flats is exceptional with gin-clear water.
Wet Season
June - November
June through November is warmer with occasional tropical showers, but fishing remains excellent. Mahi mahi run thick offshore, tarpon flood the lagoons, and snook fishing in the mangroves is at its best. Watch weather forecasts for tropical systems.
