Bottom fishing in Aruba
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!!
