fishing pictures from aruba
made a trip to aruba to try and warm the bones a little
out there 8 days
plugged the beach every morning from 4:45-6:30..picked up small barracuda on topwater and chrome redfins which were a lot of fun
tuesday went out with captain pater maier aboard the MELINA
the man always seems to find fish, and big fish
this particular morning.......6 boats left the marina...4 got the skunk
here's some pictures
the majority of these fish were caught on a g loomis bucara/ van staal 200.....you should have heard it scream
largest 61 lb wahoo....thing smoked my drag

nice hoo, i've yet to catch one myself. we fished aruba on my honeymoon. did a 1/2 day charter, and the captain freaked when i threw back a chicken mahi of about 3 lbs. so much for c&r. ended up fishing w/ the hotel staff a couple of times and had some fun. glad you had fun, paul

It's not the bait

It's the fishing hole

Smoked, you mean ruined? What did you use to get the hoo's in terms of bait/plugs...? |

good to hear you still got your fingers. Sounds like an awesome trip. Ive never kept a cuda for the table cause of their potentially poisonous flesh. Especially the larger ones. |

I took some fish home, and ate some on the island
pulled back in and there are families on the dock, locals...didin't look like they had a pot to piss in
capt said they some down once a week looking for anything
i ended up giving the family 1 wahoo and one barracuda...the rest was sold to the resteraunts.
wahoo is one of the best eating fish i have ever had
and the cuda took me off guard as well....really sweet tasting fish
in the states we can't eat them because of the copper, but in aruba it is a prized fish....on the menus at all of the 5 stars. |
