If you want to go on a four-
hour trip, you will have the
best chances fishing the
south side of the island.
Captain Milton and Cap-
tain Roberto have both
caught Kingfish, Bonito,
and Mahi Mahi here while
trolling and jigging. But
there are other fish here as
well. Captain Roberto has
snatched some Wahoo
here, and has also man-
aged to land Sailfish and
Blue Marlin in the south-
western waters of Aruba.

What’s the weather like?
Although July days are hot,
once you head out, you
will feel the wind. Waves
are about 3 to 6 feet high,
but despite the choppy
conditions, most anglers
don’t get seasick. The tem-
perature has been moving
around 32°C (90°F) and is
expected to remain the
same until the end of the
month. There are a lot of
people fishing right now,
