What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Oranjestad for the first time?

Great trip! It was less wavy than expected with windy conditions and we stayed within sight of the shore. We did take gravol/wrist bands to mitigate sea sickness and would definitely go for another fishing excursion!

I am a novice. But, worked sailboats. We trolled. Did not do bottom fishing. I like the ease and quickness of trolling. It is windy and a bit rough in April. If you do not have sea legs, take anti nausea medications and do not drink night before heading out.

Our particular fishing day was a little slow. The ocean was a bit rough due to the constant wind. We heard there were 5 charter boats out that day. There were only our two catches, and one other from another boat. Not sure if that's the norm this time of year.

Great crew. Helpful and I know it’s not their fault for not finding the fish. I didn’t even get a bite. Perhaps they shouldn’t stay at the same spot too long. Should offer discount or refund on bad days.

Suntan lotion, a hat, and be prepared for potentially rough water (Choppy and rollers - it's the wind, right)

Call the company first to find what is better at the time. AM or PM fishing. Certain times are better for a specific fish depending if you are looking to catch.

Sometimes target fish aren’t running when you’re here . Try to plan your trip when your target fish are known to be active in aruba. Search for charters before your trip and ask questions.

Pack a few snacks and tell the Capt. What you want to do. I personally hate offshore trolling so we stayed inshore and picked away at bottom fish.

Captains stories and humor made up for fishes lack of appetite. Not their fault. But thank them profuciously as the Weems Sisters are now oil tankers tycoons! Would go again without a d doubt.

Taking some bonine prior to the trip is not a bad idea. The waves get pretty high in some of the fishing grounds on the windward side of the island and around the point.

Go in October that is marlin season. July is more for a learning experience. But still a fun trip for the whole family!!

There are fish out there. We hooked (but lost) two Mahi. We brought in several tuna of different sizes. Not huge, but it was delicious tuna.

The sea state was a bit rougher than I expected but the experience was still phenomenal. Great job by the crew!

This is a great trip for novices and experienced fishers. They provide everything you need, give lots of great information and are so helpful and nice.

Use teaser chatters they were awesome I prefer fishing in the morning before the sun gets too hot

Book a larger boat to ha e a smoother ride in the wind and waves, i.e. at least 40-feet.

The waves were ROLLING due to the Aruba winds but other than that, amazing time!

Relax have a good time with Capt. Dennis and don’t exspect to catch Moby Dick.
