Puerto Rico · La Parguera / southwest

Mahi-mahi should be the day — the same trees on the dump, then the southwest drop if the method is Offshore.

Southwest mangrove cays and the drop to the Caribbean. Snook and tarpon in the trees, reef and blue water a short run south. NOAA 9759110 Magueyes Island is the clock. Not San Juan. DNER and any reserve markers are the law.

  • ⚠ Puerto Rico is DNER water, not FWC. Marine reserves (including Mosquito Bay) are not a freelance wade. Verify before you keep a fish.

    The Caribbean falls off south of the cays. Troll and jig. Not the mangrove brief.

    • — blue water on a outgoing tide is a classic match.
    • — In-play: Mahi-mahi, Tuna (blackfin / yellowfin).
    • — Troll, edge, or jig water — this is the method.

Why — and who

  • — Tide is outgoing from NOAA.
  • — The gauge is +0.58 ft off the predicted table — read the water, not just the printout.
  • — Clear · 2%. Sky is workable.
  • — Wind 1 mph NNE. Troll and jig are on.
  • — Waxing gibbous moon — mid tide range. Marsh and passes usually want the extra current of a spring.
