We didn’t catch any fish - not even a bite - but we had an awesome time. They tried very hard to find fish but they just weren’t biting that day. They were really nice and a lot of fun. Great boat - we had an awesome boat ride! We will try again if we get back to Curacao. FishingBooker, thanks for all your help. We appreciate it.
