Fish on the Menu

King Mackerel: These speedsters are a blast to hunt. They cruise the open water and can hit speeds of 60 mph. Look for them near the surface, especially around dawn or dusk. They've got razor-sharp teeth, so watch those fingers when you're handling them. King Mackerel put up a serious fight and make for some tasty fillets.

Mahi Mahi: Also known as Dorado or Dolphinfish, these are the beauty queens of the ocean. With their vibrant blue-green and gold colors, they're a sight to behold underwater. Mahi love to hang around floating debris, so keep an eye out for logs or seaweed patches. They grow fast and can reach up to 50 pounds. The meat is top-notch – perfect for fish tacos.

Wahoo: If you're after pure speed, Wahoo's your fish. These streamlined torpedoes can blast through the water at over 60 mph. They're usually loners, so when you spot one, act fast. Wahoo tend to hang deeper than Mahi, so be ready to dive. Their meat is prized for its firm texture and mild flavor – it's killer on the grill.

Great Barracuda: With their menacing teeth and lightning-fast strikes, Barracuda are the adrenaline junkie's dream target. They're ambush predators, often lurking near reefs or drop-offs. Barracuda can grow up to 6 feet long, but even the smaller ones will give you a run for your money. While not everyone's top choice for eating, some folks swear by smoked barracuda.

Yellowfin Tuna: These deep-water powerhouses are the ultimate prize for many spearos. Yellowfin are fast, strong, and can weigh over 200 pounds. You'll need to dive deep and move quick to have a shot at these guys. They often travel in schools, so if you see one, there might be more nearby. The meat is prized for sashimi – it doesn't get fresher than spearing your own tuna for dinner.

Lock in Your Spot

So there you have it – a full day of underwater action, targeting some of the ocean's most exciting fish. Whether you're looking to score your personal best or just want to try something new, this Fajardo spearfishing trip delivers. Remember, we've only got room for six max, so don't sleep on booking your spot. The fish are out there waiting – time to grab your gear and join us for a day you won't forget. Let's get you in the water and on the fish!

Learn more about the species

Great Barracuda

Yellowfin tuna are prized catches around here, known for their speed and hard-fighting nature. These torpedo-shaped fish can reach over 400 pounds, though 60-pounders are more common. You'll find them in the upper 300 feet of warm, tropical waters. They're fast swimmers, hitting speeds up to 50 mph when chasing prey. We target yellowfin year-round, but May through November is prime season. Trolling with ballyhoo or lures works well, but nothing beats the thrill of seeing one crush a surface plug. If they're being finicky, we'll switch to chunking - tossing cut bait to draw them up. Anglers love yellowfin for the epic battles they put up. Once hooked, they make blistering runs that'll test your arms and gear. The meat is also excellent for sushi or grilled as steaks. One tip: If we mark fish deep but they won't bite on the troll, I'll often switch to jigging. Sometimes that's the ticket to getting them fired up. Just be ready for an arm-burning fight once that reel starts screaming!

King Mackerel

Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish

Wahoo are sleek, torpedo-shaped speedsters that'll make your reel sing. They average 3-5 feet long but can reach over 8 feet and 180 pounds. These fish are built for speed, clocking in at 60 mph in short bursts. You'll find wahoo in our warm tropical waters year-round, but the fishing really heats up from July to November. They hang around the top 60 feet, often near floating debris or structure. We usually target wahoo by high-speed trolling at 12-15 knots. A spread of 4-6 lures works well - I like using wire leaders since their teeth will slice through mono. Minnow lures and bullet heads are top producers. Anglers love wahoo for their blistering runs and acrobatic jumps. The fight is short but intense. Their meat is also excellent - mild and flaky, perfect for fish tacos. Pro tip: If you see birds working over bait, slow down and toss out a live bait. Wahoo will often be lurking below, and can't resist an easy meal.

Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish

Wahoo Fish

Great barracuda are the toothy terrors of our reefs. They average 2-4 feet but can reach a whopping 6 feet and over 100 pounds. With a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth and lightning-fast speed, these ambush predators are apex hunters. You'll find cuda anywhere from shallow flats to deep reefs, usually hanging solo near structure. They're here year-round, but fishing peaks in warmer months when bait is plentiful. Sight fishing for big cuda is a blast. We'll cruise the shallows looking for their silvery outline, then cast flashy lures or live bait. When they strike, hold on tight - their initial run is explosive. Anglers target cuda for the intense visual experience and hard fights. While not the best eating, big ones make impressive mounts. Word of caution: Always use wire leaders and watch those teeth when unhooking. I've seen many lures and fingers sliced by an thrashing cuda. Respect these fish and you'll have a great time pursuing them.
