This is Artificial Lure checking in with your Puerto Rico fishing rundown for today. Around the island, we’ve got a light trade-wind pattern setting up: east to east‑northeast breeze about 10–15 knots along the north and east coasts, a little lighter on the south side, with seas mostly 2–4 feet nearshore and 3–5 feet offshore. Skies are partly cloudy with the usual passing showers, heaviest early morning on the east and in the afternoon over the interior and west. Humidity is up, but the water’s nice and alive. On the north coast, including San Juan and Dorado, first light hits right around 5:45 a.m., with sunrise shortly after and sunset just before 7 p.m. That gives you solid low‑light windows at dawn and again the last hour before dark. Tides are running a normal mixed semi‑diurnal pattern: a pre‑dawn high, dropping through the morning, then a building afternoon high. That falling water after sunrise has been the money window in the surf and back bays, with the afternoon push turning on the mangroves and inshore reefs. Offshore out of San Juan, Fajardo, and Palmas del Mar, the bluewater bite has stayed steady. Recent charters have been reporting a mix of mahi‑mahi, blackfin tuna, a few yellowfin, plus scattered blue marlin on the deeper edges and along the drop. Trolling small skirted ballyhoo, Islanders and Ilanders‑style lures in blue‑white and pink‑white, and cedar plugs has been working well. For tuna and mahi, downsize to 20–30 lb class and keep a pitch rod rigged with a live bait or weightless ballyhoo for fish that pop up behind the spread. Inshore, the lagoons around San Juan—think Laguna Torrecilla and Laguna San José—have been giving up good snook and tarpon in the low light. Soft‑plastic paddle tails in natural baitfish colors on 1/8–1/4 oz jig heads, small topwaters, and suspending twitchbaits are the go‑tos. Live sardines and mullet are still king if you can net them early. Work the shadow lines of bridges and mangrove points on the falling tide; bites have been coming tight to structure, so fish your drag a touch heavy. Down in La Parguera and along the southwest coast, reef fishing has been hot. Mixed bags of yellowtail snapper, mutton snapper, mangroves, and small grouper have been coming over the rails. Best producers are live or chunk baits—sardines, ballyhoo, cut squid—on light fluorocarbon leaders with just enough weight to get down and drift naturally. If you’re jig‑minded, slow‑pitch and flutter jigs in the 60–120 g range, in pink, blue, and glow, are putting fish in the box when there’s decent current. For the kayak and shore crowd, a couple of hot spots to circle: • Piñones and the north‑coast beaches east of San Juan: great for snook, tarpon, and jack crevalle at first light. Work topwaters and walking baits along the trough and any river mouths during the dropping tide. • Cabo Rojo and the flats around Boquerón: look for bonefish, small permit, and jacks on the clear, shallow sand. Small shrimp and crab imitations on light spinning or fly tackle, or live shrimp under a small float, have been producing on the incoming tide when the water creeps up over the flats. Overall fish activity has been strongest early and late; mid‑day is tougher unless you’re deep on the reef or offshore. Scale down leader size in the clear water—20–30 lb fluoro inshore, 40–60 lb around heavier reef and for tarpon and snook. Keep an eye on those quick trade‑wind squalls; they blow through fast, but don’t ignore the dark clouds. That’s the word from Artificial Lure.
