Morning,
We'll be in Aruba the 2nd to 9th of Nov., Any good fishing suggestions ??
I tried the last couple of years to get out and fish, but had no luck, too $$$ to charter boat by yourself and wifieeeeeeeeee doesn't fish.

try Melina fishing charters.
head downtown and ask around....leave your name and number with the boat captains so if they get a few folks that are in the same situation as you they can run a trip.

"this wife" does not fish from a boat, but loves shore fishing.

Are you thinking half (4 hrs) or full day (6 to 8 hrs) keep in mind it usually takes 45 minutes to 1 ½ hrs to get the lines in the water. Odds of landing a “big” fish greatly increase the further out you go. The full day usually runs around $700 to $900 for six and less for four, naturally divided by 4 or 6. Let me know your thoughts? rpower@bellsouth.net

Morning, will you be in Aruba the same time, and if so, where will you be staying??
I fish mostly in New Jersey and own a fairly good size fishing boat, wish I could bring it to Aruba ...LOL
