Puerto Rico · San Juan / Condado
Tarpon are in the mix — Condado and the bay — urban tarpon, then the north drop if you switched to Offshore.
Urban tarpon. Condado Lagoon and San Juan Bay. Snook in the mangrove edges. The north coast drops to blue water in a hurry — sail and mahi are an offshore method, not this lagoon. NOAA 9755371 La Puntilla is the clock. DNER rules, not FWC.

Where
This pip is that mark on this tide — not the day on the ring.
- 6.5
San Juan Bay
pass jetty · public structure · deep
The harbor. NOAA 9755371 sits on this water. Current, traffic, a tarpon that has seen a boat.
- — pass jetty on a incoming tide is a classic match.
skiffspinstructure - 5.9
Condado Lagoon
channel gut · public structure · mid
Urban tarpon water under the bridges. Not a bonefish flat. DNER rules.
- — channel gut on a incoming tide is a workable match.

When
When is moving water in a good hour — not the day. First light and last light are named when the clock is the story. Today’s ring mixes the best mark, the lead fish, and the best window, then taxes the sky. A strong incoming can sit under a weak day if the wind or the fish is off. Calendar cells are a third recipe: range, moon, and the day’s forecast.

Why — and who
- — Tide is incoming (modeled — NOAA 9755371 San Juan, La Puntilla did not answer).
- — Overcast. Sky is workable.
- — Wind 12 mph E. Work the leeward shore. Fly gets harder.
- — Last quarter moon — neap tide range. Marsh and passes usually want the extra current of a spring.
