Puerto Rico · San Juan / Condado
Tarpon should be the day — the same harbor throats as they dump.
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.
- ⚠ Puerto Rico is DNER water, not FWC. Marine reserves (including Mosquito Bay) are not a freelance wade. Verify before you keep a fish.

Why — and who
- — Tide is outgoing from NOAA.
- — The gauge is +0.55 ft off the predicted table — read the water, not just the printout.
- — Water 86.0°F. Heat is the locator: early, late, deeper.
- — Rain · 10%. Marsh still fishes in a shower. A soaker is a different day.
- — Wind 7 mph ESE. Castable. Sight-fishing is on if the sun is out.
- — Waxing gibbous moon — mid tide range. Marsh and passes usually want the extra current of a spring.
