Hi,
We are heading out to Aruba in September and would love some tips on fishing there as it looks like you had some success. Was going to just pack a travel spinning rod and a small selection of lures and basic tackle but any pointers appreciated.
Hi Ben,
If you check June 2013 on here there will be a few posts of the trip.
I did well on a copper Hansen Fight 18g metal lure, change out the rings and put on the strongest Owner pattern you can. I had big Ladyfish straighten the hooks as well as Tarpon. Sounds obvious but I was on my honeymoon and didn't bother with the prep, paid the price. The Ladyfish were at distance at dawn, take an outfit that will get you about 70 yards, There are Tarpon on one of the piers at night, you can see them when you're eating at the restaurant , two piers like this cant remember which one. I bunged the guard 10 bucks at 5am to get on it. Bait at night will get you Stingrays, maybe Snook if you're lucky. Take sabikis catch livebait in the dark, under a light, put them in your room bucket on the beach, might work well. There are a few small stone jettys, try these, hooked a huge cuda, hook wore a hole and dropped out, about an hour fight. Wave Crab lures on 10g head might get you a few species. Good luck, enjoy, stick your hat to your head, it's a windy old place!
