Anyone fished in Aruba?

[Sinker]

Anyone? I'm headed down at the end of april. Any first hand experiences with guides, or charters would be awesome, and any DIY tips greatly appreciated!

Didn’t fish while I was there but the surf pounds the north end. All kind of junk washes up on shore there.  Should be good fishing if not windy.  Guy I know did a charter and they did well off the north end.

I'm with Glen. always a steady east wind. We stayed at the Riu Palm Beach and it was gorgeous. Going to try Curacao in April.

Did a charter there about 5 years ago. Caught some Mahi Mahi's. We went out with Driftwood Charters.

Thanks guys! 

Driftwood seems to be one of the popular ones. Mixed reviews. I never know where to book at these places, so I usually wait until I'm there and check out the boats when I get there to see who has what and who is actually catching. I'm not sure about aruba. I may book ahead. I will be fishing for sure. I'd love to get one of those mahi mahis!!!! Nice catch!! I always bring gear as well, so if there is any chance of shore fishing, I'm doing it.
