J and Eddie provided an amazing trip and we had a blast.  We started off strong with a 4’ wahoo in the box just a half hour after leaving the dock.  Had a great time with music, refreshments, stories and 6 lines in the water!  J’s knowledge of the area, the fishing, the tactics and all things Aruba was impressive.  He was a great resource as two in our group were deep sea fishing for the first time!  On our way back in, we hooked up a sailfish and the fight was on…  With waves crashing...

It was our first ever deep sea fishing trip. Would definitely recommend. The J-strip crew was 100% the right choice. Captain Eddy’s experience shined through with his knowledge of the water and where to find the fish. They got us on a school of Mahi Mahi mid trip after catching a couple Tuna and Bonita. Not to mention that the Mate’s were amazing and made the trip fun and memorable.

I will start this off by saying how great the captains mate was! Jaylin for how young he was, was awesome at his job. He was very talkative and told us everything we needed to know about deep sea fishing. That being said we didn’t catch anything but by the looks of it not very many boats did that day. The crew was awesome and they had 6 lines out at one time but the fish weren’t biting. I guess that’s why they call it fishing and not catching!

I took 5 high-school boys for a 4hr afternoon trip. The seas were rough and a couple boys got sick but we powered through. We put in a strong effort but could not get a fish on the line. That’s why it’s called “fishing” and not “catching”. Overall, a great experience and everyone walked away happy. The crew was awesome and very knowledgeable. Make sure to take Dramamine first even if you don’t think you get seasick. Absolutely recommended.

Went on an 8 hour tour with the captain, “Spider-Man 1 & Spider-Man 2” who were both friendly and knowledgeable. The boat we kept clean during the time we were aboard with a hose after every catch. The engine didn’t smell and as a group of 3 we were each able to have our own fighting chair for the entire trip. The crew provided bottles of water and KFC since it was an all-day trip, but we also brought our own drinks and snacks as well(mainly hand/finger foods like ritz crackers). Even if... More
