I had a great experience in Puerto Rico fishing with Capt Yorman Sierra of Bayside Charters. I happen to live on saltwater and fish quite often. I also have started making a habit of booking a charter whenever I can while on vacation. With that being said, I can discern when a local Capt knows how to get on fish and also when they appear to be motivated to do so.

Capt Yorman set the expectations and delivered on a day that initially seemed less than ideal for fishing. After losing at least 3 fish and getting almost spooled by a shark, we ended up putting 5 different species on the boat including a few Jacks, a Snook, King Mackerel, and even a Remora. While we did not see, or get a Tarpon, it absolutely was not for lack of effort. Capt Yorman pulled out every stop to get me on fish this day and especially worked everything to get us to a Tarpon. However, what I enjoyed the most about this entire trip was Yorman himself, he was warm, attentive, and also provided me what I always hope to get from a charter Capt, and that is some education. He is definitely a master of his craft.

Needless to say, I had a great experience with Capt Yorman and Bayside Charters and would recommend them and Capt Yorman.

This was my wife’s first charter fishing experience and she loved it! We were able to target some species along the coast and also inland within the river. While not a target species we even tried to reel in a few sharks. Yorman was a terrific guide, offering helpful fishing advice and getting us on a variety of fish included Red Snapper, Jack, Snook, and Barracuda. The tarpon were a bit evasive but we had a fun nonetheless. Yorman was friendly and also gave tourist recommendations. Highly recommend Bayside Fishing Charters and Captain Yorman.

Overall good trip.  Captain seemed friendly and knowledgeable of the area.  The Bay Area where we fished offered a few different options in hopes of catching fish, casting artificial, trolling, live bait drifting.  Unfortunately on our day none produced any results, I was a little surprised.  We set up in last area in a back channel, saw some Tarpon rolling, just no luck.  It was a beautiful end of the day with the sun setting.

Yorman was awesome! He made our little fisherman’s whole trip to PR a lifetime memory! Very knowledgeable, made sure everyone was comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Caught a couple snook right off the bat, a bit slow moving after that but captain Kevin did a great job making sure we hit all the spots to catch a couple more.
