Came to Curacao for a wedding in early-Mid January, 2025, and booked a 6 hour trip on the Wazapap. We targeted Marlin, but would gladly take whatever was biting. Captain Dave & first mate Alan are smart, knowledgeable & fun anglers. They put us on the fish and we all had fun doing it.
It was a bit of a slow day, but no fault of the Captain & crew. The birds were working and the bait was jumping for most of the day, & we were trolling right on top of them. Captain Dave put us on the fish, they just werenโt too eager to bite.
We connected with two marlin. One we lost right away, and the second one (which was BIG- it pulled out almost all the line on the reel in about three minutes), we lost because someone in our charter accidentally adjusted the drag too loose. Had we listened more closely to first mate Alan, who gave very clear instructions, we likely wouldnโt have lost the fish.
Bottom lineโฆeven if you are experienced anglers, which most of us were, that doesnโt mean you are familiar with their equipment. Listen to Dave & Alan. They know that they are doing and know their own equipment best.
It was still a great day on the water and we would definitely come back again.
Dave & Alan supply the beer, soda and water, but heads up, you will need to bring whatever food rations you want throughout the day. And if you can, try to pay in cash, as there is a 5% credit card fee.
Thanks Dave & Alan, hope to see you again and hope to get that Marlin in the boat next time!
