Bottom fishing in Aruba
3 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing on February 26, 2023
This was an outstanding day of fishing. As opposed to deep-sea fishing--where it feels like it takes a couple hours just to get on-site before you can even get a line wet--this was just a few minutes until we were catching fish. 'Positive Vibes' is fast, so we could get where we needed to go on the off-shore reefs pretty much before the sun fully came up. OK...so we weren't reeling in big fish, but they were fun and plentiful, and ran the gamut from 3-5 pound yellowtail to grouper to parrot fish and even an amberjack. Between the two of us (my wife and I), and in just three hours, we caught 14 (that's fourteen) fish. Pretty much as soon as you dropped the hook to depth, you were on, and playing them with nice, well-maintained lightweight gear so it felt like an even 'match' and not just 'horsing in' the catch. Kids will love this! The skipper Sergio, and deckmate Jonathan, were incredibly helpful and patient, and clearly know the territory. When we come back, we'll do this again. HIGHLY recommended!!

2 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing on April 3, 2021
Our crew was super nice and kept the bait coming on the fishing lines for my son and me- we are both pretty inexperienced. Fun trip with lots of fish!

5 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing on October 24, 2021
Our crew chose to bottom fish as opposed to offshore. Got plenty of bites with assorted reef fish such as yellowtail, grouper, and trigger fish. Captain and crew respectful, and professional.

4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing on March 21, 2019
The rate was more expensive than most of the other fishing charters, but the boat looked nice in the pictures and we had 6 people that wanted to fish, not just troll for fish. When we got on the boat, I was disappointed to find out there were only 4 fishing poles on board. I specified that 6 people would be fishing when reserving the boat and the description said up to 10 people. The crew was 2 friendly younger guys that were helpful at times. We caught about 16 small fish, nothing substantial. Overall, we had a good time, but we were disapointed that we paid top dollar and had to take turns fishing. In my opinion, the $600 rate for 4 hours of fishing is high compared to the other charters in the area offering the same services.
