If you’re going to cast a line in Oranjestad, look no further than The Wicked Hooker. Your guide for the day is Captain Johan, which means you’ll tap into years of knowledge and experience.
Depending on the season, you might hook into Amberjack, Great Barracuda, Bonito, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Horse-eye Jack, Jack Crevalle, Wahoo, and who knows what else!
Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Up to one-third of the fish caught during the trip are yours to keep, provided they’re legal to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Make sure you have a cooler ready in the car!
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!
You’ll be casting lines from a 42’ Bertram flybridge that holds up to 12 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible.
You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate, who’s there to help you fish and keep everyone safe on board. Mates often work for tips and it’s customary to offer them a 10%–20% gratuity.
Before coming aboard, you’ll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
It’s always wise to bring sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks are included, free of charge.
