Fishing report for March

By Joris Zandvoort
ORANJESTAD — Spring is upon us, and slowly but surely,
Aruba is becoming synonymous with the best fishing in the
Caribbean. This paradise island is blessed with amazing
weather year-round, countless tourist attractions, and
more fish than you can imagine. In March, Spring
Breakers and avid anglers come from all over the world,
all knowing that Aruba has a fish with their name on it.

In March, Blue and White Marlin are still biting, so if you
haven’t had a chance to battle them this year, this is
your chance. The best part is, the fishing grounds are just
off the northern coast of the island. This means less time
boating, and more time fishing!

If Billfish sound like a little too much, don’t worry, Aruba has
plenty of other fish to offer. The waters are teeming with
Wahoo, King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi and Great Barracuda.
But that’s not all. March fishing in Aruba means one more
thing – Yellowfin Tuna, and lots of it.

The variety of fish you can catch on a single trip in Aruba
is pretty much unmatched. Not only are the species
exciting to catch, they make for some amazing table
fare, too. Captain Marcelino aboard Sunrise Charters
landed 5 Yellowfin Tunas and 3 Wahoo just a few days
ago, all on a 4-hour outing!

Of course, if you’d like to become a one-species specialist,
all you’ll need is a little guidance. Captain Dennis aboard Seriously, one fishing trip in Aruba seems So, what are you waiting for? Start
the Lady Sarah just landed as many as 9 Wahoo on a half to equal two or three outings pretty much planning your Aruba fishing adventure at
day trip! anywhere else. www.fishingbooker.com today!q
