Just got back from a 2 week vacation in Puerto Rico. Did a bit of what you’re doing just only salt water, couldn’t find a fresh a decent looking freshwater spot for bigger fish than what you’re shooting for. Hooked up on a fat tarpon on a beach in Aguadilla tho !
Thank you! Been fishing around Toa Alta recently and that’s fun for Redhead Cichlids, Oscars, Peacock Bass, etc. Fishing around Campo Rico has become a favorite as well.
I caught them from a little 40 foot long by 1 foot wide mowed grassy canal in Old San Juan. Pretty much golf course habitat with not a mangrove in sight lol. The canal has mud/sand bottom with a good amount of detritus, it can get close to going dry but never really does, and it only gets briefly inundated by the bay when extra stormy weather combos with high tide. Kinda like a mini stormwater pond that’s only big enough for Mangrove Rivulus. They’re fairly aggressive and usually hang out close to the surface, reminds me a lot of Lined Topminnows.
Hey, im puerto rican and I’ve lived here for most of my life, I make videos and stuff going to different rivers and lakes with my kayak fishing bass and peacock bass, I moved to Florida about mid pandemic a couple years ago and that’s when I started fishing, I moved back recently and now I can’t stop fishing everywhere I go, I wanted to ask if you would like to go check out some good spots for big largies
Why do return invasive species to the water? Is that the law/rule in PR or should you kill invasives? I know iguana hunting year round is a thing in PR because they are invasive.
I’m not aware of any law about having to kill the non-desirable invasive fish species while fishing. I don’t like rules like that anyways, it just promotes want-and-waste which is way more egregious than releasing an already well established fish species that ain’t harming any species of concern. There is a law on what fish species can be imported to PR for aquaria and in a perfect world that’s supposed to stop new invasives from arriving.
Keep 'em coming man! Can't wait to see what you catch
7:15 just wanted to show you the pronunciation.... It's more like Ha like a laugh haha so... Ha-You-Yah . Enjoyed the video. Happy fishing.
Thanks for the advice!
Extremely informative vid. I’m from Trujillo close to the dam you were fishing.

Nice, beach Tarpon are sick! Hope you wound finding some cool fishes.
Awesome video! Excited to see how many of the PR species you will be able to catch
Thank you, I’d be happy with even half of that 920 in 2 years
Interesting. I'm going next week to Puerto Rico. I like you your focus identifying the species.
Thank you, hopefully these hurricanes stay away for your stay!
Your videos make me want to fishing!
Awesome content !
Always glad to see you’re videos.
The local Petco stores have live nightcrawlers, crickets, waxworms and mealworms in stock. A bit expensive though…
Interesting, thanks for the insight!
mad entertaining
Thanks Minty!

0:46 What's the story of this one? I'm fascinated by these guys. Did you catch it in water or on land/mud?
