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

Not good. The waters were rough. The Captain of her boat was not nice on Edge and his son was the Mate and had no idea what he was doing. The lines kept getting tangled. Not a good experience.

It's a boat. Aruba has high winds so the water can be rocky. If you're unsure of getting sick I'd suggest taking seasick medicine ahead of time.

Maybe not all species are hitting but a lot are. One boat landed a handful of wahoo and tamed a sailfish which are typically scarce this time of year.

Caught two nice fish, but in very high swells. Some other boats from the Marina had to turn back as their guests got seasick

Fishing has a lot to do with luck and experience. Make sure you get the Captain that regularly runs the boat, not a fill in

Fishing had been slow so the fact that we were about to haul in some fish was nice. No real big ones but we have have big ones in the past!

Fishing had been slow and alot of boats had not caught any in the last few days but got to reel in 19 Bonita!

Pretty windy rough seas. Trolling for four hours produced one fish and saw several other boats trolling and not catching much. Probably would have been better off drop fishing

Pick Dorothy, they we’re ready to go right away and we had fun weather just a little breezy but it’s normal this time of year my understanding ?

Fishing is Fishing! Get your rod hrs in. Don't expect to much. It's all about right place right time!

Don’t get your hopes up too high. Fishing is better at certain times of the year. Be happy with any fish you catch ?

Research when the preferred season is for the fish you want to catch. Otherwise you'll have to get lucky.

Fishing is good this time of year but with the water temperature being at its warmest, it can be hit or miss.

Bone fishing was good and easily accessible. Caught bones and Blue Runners on the flats near downtown.

Although the fishing is a little slow this time of year, I would definitely recommend this captain and crew. Definitely worth the money

November and December are the best times if you are coming to Aruba to fish. For those coming for other purposes, adding a fishing trip is always great.

Winter months are supposedly much better but seas are much rougher. Swells were 8-10 feet in June. Our guide said swells could be upwards of 20 feet in winter months. Something to consider

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.

The wind is very strong in Aruba. Plan ahead for waves. The fishing was great.

Easy to access and the people are very friendly. Fishing in the morning is the best.

Good boat. No pressure. No frustration shown by crew for lack of experience
