I'm heading down to Aruba in a few weeks and was wondering if their are good charters or guides.
Anyone have experience fishing there? Please point me in the right direction. Thanks.

I have fished with both of these charters and had a great time. "Lady Gigi" is a little less money then "Teaser". Both boats are Bertrams. "lady Gigi" is a 31 and "Teaser" is a 35.

I fished on the "Teaser" several years ago and caught several Wahoo. This past spring my wife and I fished on the "lady Gigi" and caught several Wahoo and a Cuda. What is nice is You don't have a long run to the fishing grounds. As soon as you clear the break wall lines are in. My wife enjoyed it so much that she ended up booking the boat for us for another day. My wife is actually on the website.

In town, from where the above mentioned charters leave, there are about 15 charter boats ranging from 28 Luhrs to 46 Hatteras. There are also several boats leaving from their marinas (about 10) and on the Beach side (near the hotels) there are about three boats. The last mentioned will fish the west-north side of the island and majority of the others will fish the south side. Fish to be had this time a year are: wahoo, cuda, dorado and some bill fish. Running time to fishing grounds is never more than 10 min.
Good luck.

I am booking a trip in Febuary of '08. Any thoughts of what is runnning that time of year. What about inshore action? Any bones, reds, snook, permit? If so, any guides/charters recommendations for those?

Okay guys, it is now three years later and I am now for sure going. I just booked my flight and hotel. I will be going in mid March. Any recommendations on what we should charter?
