Fishing in Aruba

[SunnyD]

Hi, My family & friends will be traveling to Aruba for the first time in July and staying 9 days at Paradise Beach Villas. My DH is wondering if there is anywhere to rent a fishing pole or if he should bring a collapsible pole?
Do you fish off a dock, jetty or just from the beach? Is there a bait shop? He is looking to do some fishing in the early morning, as he is an early riser. Any info would be very helpful. Thanks!!

Would love to take you out fishing if interested in doing so while vacationing in Aruba away from the resort areas like baby beach, rogers beach, boca grandi, barcadera, spanish lagoen and some northern coastal inlests for some surf fishing and also some night fishing at your resort beaches when water are calmer from boating activities and swimmers for some snook fishing. Will provide rods, squid baits, artificial lures, some extra tackle and some fun in the sun fishing, ofcourse with some sun block on the skin always be protected from those UV. Send me an email for more info. at zaandam99@hotmail.com . See you in Aruba and keep that line tight!!!
