Puerto Rico · La Parguera / southwest

Snook are the hunt — sit the remaining guts until the cays breathe.

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.

Why — and who

  • — Tide is low slack from NOAA.
  • — Sunny · 0%. Sky is workable.
  • — Wind 8 mph E. Castable. Sight-fishing is on if the sun is out.
  • — Waning gibbous moon — mid tide range. Marsh and passes usually want the extra current of a spring.
