Fishing
Culebra, Puerto Rico

Can anyone help me out with fishing on culebra in July. I am renting a boat and would like to know which areas to go to, what I need to bring for tackle and what kind of fish are caught at that time of year. Would love to go for tarpon or bonefish but not knowing the area will probably take me all day to find where to go. Any help would be appreciated.

Tarpoon & bone fishing are not good in Culebra, with a nylon line ( 20lb + )
a few hooks, and sinkers you will have a good time.
There are groupers ( MEROS ), Yellow Tails ( COLIRRUBIA ), Snaper ( PARGO ), if at night.
And many others, if you go trolling, there are Barracudas, maybe king fish.

Good luck,

Capt. J.Guzman

I have to disagree with Capt. G on this one. I have heard there is superb bone fishing. I don't have the local knowledge you seek, but there are a couple of guides discussed elsewhere in this forum who do. Check out the To Do section of this website.

"Relatively unknown is the excellent saltwater fishing for bone fish, permit and fly fishing for Macao. The best place for these sports is off the small Island of Culebra. Culebra itself is a great place to vacation and is growing more quickly in popularity than anywhere else in Puerto Rico. It is growing in a very quiet way. There's no nightlife, no large resort, no casinos. What there is, is miles of pristine beaches, varied and beautiful, lots of bird sanctuaries, turtle nesting beaches, excellent scuba, snorkeling and hiking."

There are some good sites online about fishing here, but I found this site had some great info. Some (at the top of the page) is about guided fishing, but lots (keep scrolling!) is about what is out there, tackle needed etc. I didn't see anything about needing a license, but I've heard you do. Probably you could find out by calling one of those guys or doing more research online. Too bad Chris Goldmark is still up north! http://www.culebraflyfishing.com/
