The season is on and many customers come to tray Tarpon on Fly for first time 4 Tips for Getting Better Hookups With Tarpon

The season is on and many customers come to tray Tarpon on Fly for first time
4 Tips for Getting Better Hookups With Tarpon
1. Keep your rod tip on the water and always point it in the direction of your fly line and fly during your retrieve.

Not pointing your rod tip at your fly line and fly often results in adding unwanted slack between you and the fish. This small amount of slack will increase your chances of not getting a solid hook set. You also will find it hard to feel the bite.
2. Use a 100% strip set when setting the hook.

You can apply far more pressure and power in a hook set with a firm strip set than you can with the fly rod. Many novice saltwater anglers make the mistake of thinking the power comes from the fly rod.
3. Set the hook multiple times for better hook penetration.

When a tarpon eats from left or right often a single hook set will be adequate because a lot of the time the weight of the fish moving aids in setting the hook. However, when you have a tarpon eating and moving at you it’s important to hit the fish multiple times while taking up slack between hook sets. This will help maintain constant tension with the fish.
4. Make sure you set the hook hard enough.

Don’t be afraid to hit the tarpon extra hard. With their hard boney mouths it’s crucial to get adequate power in your hook set to ensure you get full penetration to the barb.

“Captain Pochy is the best!”

My girlfriend and I went to Puerto Rico for a wedding. We wanted to fish and were very lucky to find Light Tackle Adventures and Captain Pochy! We are amateur anglers but you wouldn't know it from the photos. If you want to make all your friends jealous, go fishing with Pochy! We caught a number of species of fish, including three monster Tarpon! Captain Pochy truly cares about your experience and shares his wealth of knowledge of the area. We had so much fun we went a second day on our five day trip to the island. We can't thank Pochy enough for this amazing experience, we will remember it always. See ya in five years Captain!

Where to go fishing

We like go saltwater fishing , first question is where to go fishing and way go there? Puerto Rico immediately came to my mind . the island of Puerto Rico is located just a short 3 to 4 hour flight from any major city on the East coast of the United States. Unknown to many, Puerto Rico offers some of the most sensational fly fishing and light tackle opportunities in the World for the Tarpon chaser. The West coast waters offer to any angler a fishing paradise in the winter and summer.The West Coast offer multiples species to challenge any Anglers. Spices like Tarpon ,Snook ,Ladyfish ,Jacks ,Snappers , Needelfish , Little tunny's , Barracudas. In Boqueron Bay,Cabo Rojo Puerto Rico, as well as other parts of the country, there is a whole other side to saltwater fishing opportunity to catch big saltwater fish in shallow protected waters. Flats fishing is a common term for fishing these shallow saltwater areas. The fishing is usually done from a small skiff which is pushed across the “flat” by using a long pole. This allows the anglers to get close to the spooky fish giving them a chance to see the fish before they cast to them. Most anglers use spinning or fly tackle sized to match the species they are targeting. For popular species such as the Snook (Robalo) and Tarpon (Sabalo), medium action spinning rods with 20 pound braided line is sufficient, Fly Fishing rod 9 wt to 10 wt with big reel 300 yards of 30 pounds braided is good . Snook can reach sizes of over 50 inches and 35 pounds and are frequently caught in less than three feet of water. If you are chasing big tarpon, some sturdier gear is necessary. Tarpon can easily top 100 pounds and provide exciting aerial displays as they jump out of the water in an attempt to shake the hook. Other species targeted while flats fishing can include permit, bonefish, pompano, barracudas, snook, jacks, and ladyfish. Flats fishing in Puerto Rico is popular because it gives fishermen the chance to catch much larger fish than you can in fresh water while still being able to use small boats in protected waters. Many fishing guides offer charters for 1 or 2 anglers while other can accommodate up to 4. Frequently, you can begin fishing just minutes from the dock and sea sickness is not an issue like it can be on offshore trips.

Hot Action in Puerto Rico

Capitan Pochy

Thank you so much for the very enjoyable fishing trip - it actually was better than I had even hoped for. I learned a lot from you and will always remember those great two days on the water with you. The photos are so much better than my little camera, I am sending them to all my friends to make them jealous. I hope that your fishing guiding business continues to do well, and if I am ever back in Puerto Rico I will certainly call you for some more great tarpon fishing.

Thanks again for everything,
Dave

Fantastic time

Captain Rosario -

I just wanted to drop you a quick email to thank you for the fantastic time the boys and I had fishing with you last Wednesday. I very much appreciate your patience in dealing with their sometimes-too-short attention span, and you did a wonderful job of keeping us all very engaged in catching fish and enjoying the beautiful views of the bay and mangroves. I also really want to thank you for giving the boys a chance to reel in a tarpon from around the dock area, I know that it's probably not a particularly exciting fishing experience for you, but they haven't stopped talking about it since - it meant a lot to them.

We visit Puerto Rico every two years, and will most certainly be looking forward to going out fishing with you again the next time we're in town. The boys will be a bit older by then, and perhaps we can add a couple more hours to the trip. I know that I would certainly be excited about the chance to fight another tarpon or two myself, and somewhere out there is a big barracuda that we need to track down...

Thanks again, safe fishing, and we'll be looking you up soon for our next trip.

Reaching a dream

Blake Davis, College of the Atlantic
Self-employed since he entered high school, Blake was making and selling handcrafted fly-fishing lures before he could drive. He has had numerous news articles and photos published in Maine, where he attended College of the Atlantic as an undergraduate student. In 2010 he received a Kathryn Davis Advanced International Studies travel grant to edit and report ne...ws in Istanbul, Turkey. He has been awarded for his reporting on education by the Maine Press Association. Blake hopes to use his experience writing and photographing to document fly fishing in urban centers around the globe.

This summer, College of the Atlantic grad Blake Davis, 22, sets off for a year-long fly-fishing world tour courtesy of a $25,000 Thomas J. Watson Foundation Fellowship. The only requirements of the 60 coveted annual grants for independent study are that you leave the U.S., travel solo, and drop a progress report in the mail at least four times a year to prove that you’re alive and on topic. We asked correspondent Christian DeBenedetti, who received his own Watson Fellowship in 1996 to study the beers and brewing techniques of the world, to catch up with Davis and find out who indeed had scored the better project.
I would love to catch a tarpon. I’ve made thousands of tarpon flies, but I’ve never even seen one. I’m going to go for it in Puerto Rico with Capt.Pochy Tarpon Hombre.

West Coast Puerto Rico

Mike Lew
from Vinings, GA

Made it down to Puerto Rico for a trip with some college buddies last weekend. Pretty fun place to party, semi expensive, but good food and scenery, and even better for fishing!!!!!

Went out with an awesome guide off the south west coast.

My guide fee splitting partner wasn't quite up to fly casting all day, but the guide had a good plan for that... live lining off the back, fly fishing off the front. Fished just offshore, on the beach, under marinas, lagoons and wayyyyy back in the mangroves.

Ended up with a handful of tarpon two the boat on fly (missed several), missed a few beasts on live bait. This was my third best one on fly, lost the other two right at the boat:

Caught a few nice ladyfish on both fly and live, man they fight hard!
Also got us a nice snook:
Weather was a BIG issue on the trip which limited the photos.

To cap it off, had an amazing local lobster deal I found by pure luck. Had these puppies all weekend:The scenery was the best part:

Fly Fishing Information for winter anglers

Fly Fishing Information for winter anglers the island of Puerto Rico is located just a short 3 to 4 hour flight from any major city on the East coast of the United States. Unknown to many, Puerto Rico offers some of the most sensational fly fishing and light tackle opportunities in the Caribbean. The West coast waters offer to any angler a fishing paradise in the winter.

The area is home to a significant population of year-round resident tarpon. Plenty of larger fish also ply the regions bays, lagoon and estuaries throughout the year. The big Tarpon are present, presumably to take advantage of the warmer waters and plentiful forage.

I had the good fortune to call the flats and bays my office for work . Cabo Rojo is a magnificent area to cast a streamer in front of hungry tarpon. I was presented with the options of casting to schools of feeding fish over vast shallow flats, working amongst entangled mangroves to pocket pools & tiny creeks with single fish, and working the magic of the river. There’s enough variety in this game to keep anyone engaged.
A massive mangrove shoreline dominates the coastal habitat. Crystalline waters are the norm for the lower reaches as they empty into sweeping flats. On the other hand, rust-stained hues characterize the smaller quarters of the upper river and tiny creek habitats. The estuary habitat is superb; shallow sandy-bottomed grass beds, banks dominated by mangrove roots and green canopy. The entire region sports an average depth of two to Twenty feet overall. The dynamics provide you with a perfect window to sight-fish.

The Bay open water affords fly fishers with 360 degrees of casting opportunity. Keep your eyes peeled – scan for dorsals & tails, breezing baitfish, or erupting water and instant mayhem. The flats are a casters dream situation. The longer you can cast a line, the better your chances of reaping the harvest. Everyone standing on the bow of the flat boat have the opportunity to cast your fly in front of the silver king.
It’s an awesome place to explore. It’s darn productive for feeding fish. This place isn’t for the faint of heart however as you’ll be challenged in all aspects of your angling skills. You earn every fish that comes to hand. I love this game.
Once the fly hit its mark a tarpon wouldn’t waste any time with their reaction.

The Bite and the Fight

On the flats, you get no fight until you learn how to recognize and respond to a bite. Bites from some species are mysterious, seldom felt, and hard to read Bonefish tarpon, and permit, our glamour quarry, all eat best when the fly moves straight away from them. Important but somewhat lesser species, like ladyfish and snook do the same thing. Since they rush the fly head on, they often push the line toward you and eat on the end of a slack line. It's rare to feel the initial bite of a bonefish as they keep moving along with the school when they eat. Permit are often found alone and pin baits to the bottom. ladyfish and snook often stop to chew.

Tarpon often announce a bite with an easily read flashing side and occasional huge boil. Seeing a tarpon bite is a problem for most of us. There is no doubt when a fish responds, but a mouth offers little resistance if the fish are not properly pointed before we attempt to set the hook. Tarpon mouths hinge like the loading ramp of a cargo plane, the upper lip is much like the top of a tunnel. If you pull on the string while the fish is pointed at you, the fly usually pops right out of their mouth

You have to strip until you feel the weight of a tarpon in your hand or against the rod tip to make sure some of the fish is between you and the point of the hook Reaching for the sky before you feel the fish in your hand leads to failure most of the time, a trait called "snatching." Moving the rod to set the hook is a mistake with most flats species.

A lot has been written about leader systems for tarpon and I am sure that everyone has a favorite set-up. I tend to rig my tarpon fishing rods as big game rods, coming from my big game experience pelagic species. The leader system is very simple and allows the person that has to leader the tarpon some control, as these fish can be downright crazy and even dangerous on some occasions. I like to start with a 3 feet of double line knot to which I attach to my 20 pound on the reel, that section will be on 40 pound test. After that section I like to use a blood knot to attach 3 to 4 feet of 60 pond test fluorocarbon followed by another blood knot and 2 feet of 80 pound fluorocarbon leader.

The rough mouth of the tarpon along with the environment where I fish, with mangrove roots, and waterlogged trees with barnacles everywhere, trying to provide for protection from cut-offs is a number one priority. The main thing for the guides fishing in many parts of the world should be conservation; it is an unwritten rule here in Puerto Rico for all guides to preserve the fisheries for our future generations, so we encourage the use of circle hooks exclusively for bait fishing for tarpon. Gone are the days where the tarpon that were released after a fight would show up dead a couple of days later after being gut hooked and fought with a standard “J” hook, after adopting the use of circle hooks exclusively almost 10 years ago, very rarely do we see such a sight. With many types and brands of circle hooks available these days, I like to choose my hooks according to the size of the bait, and most importantly it’s physical characteristics. Many of the major hook manufacturers are making extremely sharp hooks suitable for tarpon and they come in sizes from 1/0 to 10/0. I happen to like light wire hooks on most occasion, specially fishing in daylight hours, although you have to be careful and try not to “horse” the tarpon in on the leader, as this can straighten or break the hook.

There are a few points that are important to remember when fighting these fish, number one rule among all tarpon anglers is “Bow to the King”, this simply means that when the tarpon’s head breaks the surface to jump, you lower the rod tip to perpendicular with the water’s surface, an action that looks very much as a knight’s chivalry act with a sword. Number two, “never give the tarpon any slack, simply said, never let the line go limp, on many occasions the hook will pop out of the hard mouth of the tarpon upon the line being slack. Number three, fight the fish from the bow of the boat, many anglers make the mistake of staying in the back of the boat, this hinders the anglers ability to react quickly to a surging fish tarpon have an amazing ability to seek places to break you off, and that includes the boat’s engine, trim tabs and hull, the angler in the front of the boat can compensate for the fishes behavior and can protect the fishing line from contact with the boat, on some occasions even having to put the tip of the rod in the water and swing the rod around the bow, after the fish dives quickly under the boat. One of the most important things to remember while fighting a tarpon is that if you want to end the fight quickly, the angler must modify his actions with the rod.

Tarpon must be forced to work hard by pulling with the rod in the opposite direction of where the fish wants to swim; this hinders the tarpons ability to properly oxygenate and zaps his strength. You can put the rod in the water while applying pressure in this manner, a technique popularized by the legendary Florida guide Stu Apte, and is called the “Down and Dirty” way of fighting a tarpon. The tarpon will tire more quickly this way and eventually rolls over and gets confused, giving the Captain or mate the opportunity to hold him either the lower jaw for smaller fish and the jaws and gill plate for the larger individuals. This applies to spinning, casting and fly rod fishing and when one properly, this fish fighting technique works wonders on many other species as well. Tarpon fights swing in the fishes favor with every passing minute, so the angler must strive to apply the maximum amount of pressure in the shortest amount of time to be successful. If you want to fight the fish for a long time keep the rod in the normal position, pumping up and down during the fight.

Fly Fishing for Puerto Rico winter paradise fishing for tarpon of all sizes continues to be a sport in growing demand for the traveling angler, as more and more people realize it is easier to schedule a fishing trip to Puerto Rico than to a foreign country. Being a commonwealth of the United States, there is no passport and tourist visa required by US citizens to enter and leave Puerto Rico, also the local currency is the US Dollar further simplifying your travels. It is like going to Florida for the winter but with a Caribbean flair! I am the only fly fishing guide service in the west coast of Puerto Rico and we are booked months in advance during the winter tourism season, which coincides with the best tarpon fishing, with many opportunities for fly fishermen to experience tarpon on a fly.

An experienced angler should hire a guide to see where the fishing action is taking place, what is the technique employed and the choice of flies and equipment, once that is information has been passed on by the guide, the more adventuresome angler can then fish with confidence for the same species the guide fished with the customer. Unfortunately, the truly great fishing is available only from these knowledgeable guides, who monitor the moving schools of tarpon, and in reality these fish are accessible only by boat. Tarpon are indeed the favorite target for fly fishermen, with fish of every size available at all times of the year, from juveniles in the mangrove lined channels that run from 5 to 15 pounds to 150 pound or more giants that can be found anywhere in this water .

Fly fishermen can expect some chances to hook one of these fish, with success measured in the fish you “jump” rather than catch, mainly due to the hard mouth of the tarpon, which makes hooking and landing one of these fish very frustrating at times. As a guide, I have noticed that the main reason for tarpon to throw the fly is because most anglers will lift the rod on a strike, like in the act of hooking a trout, tarpon have a very hard mouth and must be struck very hard, I like to recommend the fishermen to practice fishing with the rod slightly lower than perpendicular to water’s surface, and practicing strip striking with the stripping hand, then lifting the rod and fighting the fish. The techniques that were mentioned work for the fly angler . Releasing a tarpon of any size on a fly rod is an awesome feeling, knowing that you have conquered one of the truly game fish species in the world. Fly fishing in saltwater is really a lot of work, casting heavy rods for hours waiting for the right time, it is worth the wait! The visiting fly fisherman that travels to Boqueron Bay in search of tarpon and snook will have to be equipped with at least 3 rods, an 8 wt, a 10 wt and a 11 wt; these will enable the angler to address most of the fishing conditions that arise.

The fly fisherman needs to be able to cast in different scenarios, short 20 foot roll casts in the mangrove channels and 60 to 70 feet long casts for open water fishing. It is important to practice the double haul at a park, football or soccer field. I am going to emphasize, Please practice your double haul ahead of time, I can not tell you how hard it is to learn this on the water, with tarpon rolling everywhere. And in the event of a spectacular tarpon feeding frenzy, you will hear your heart pounding through your chest. The waters in Boqueron Bay is cristal clear, and let me tell you folks, tarpon have the keenest eyes, make no mistake about it, when they want your bait or fly they will eat it!

Because of the cristal clear water , distance is more desirable an accuracy; the longer the fly is in the water (Strike Zone!), the better the chance for a strike. Many different types of flies work in Puerto Rico, most of the tarpon and snook are taken on the following: Tarpon Toad Purple/Black, Woolly Mullet, gray Grey/Silver/Black, a tarpon bunnys Back/Brown/Purple, Clouser Minnow,Olive/White/Black, Black paradise, and the innovative Gummi Minnow. Always have some Guglers in 2/0 on hand just in case a Tarpon and Snook feeding frenzy forms while you are in the water, an unforgettable sight for those fortunate to see the hundreds of fish working under the screaming seagulls and pelicans.

Puerto Rico is the “secret” hotspot just a few hours from any major airport in the US mainland.
This is a fishery that makes for lifetime memories. The guides and hosts will certainly add their special touch. If you’re interested in more travel details please contact :
