Aruba catch and cook Gag Grouper also booked a guided shore fishing trip then solo dock fishing

This was my second time fishing at Aruba and I hired a shore fishing guide. Turns out I went the wrong month and we skunked out fishing around he island. I bought the Gag Grouper on the south side of the island because I had the wind to my back. A restaurant next to the dock was able to cook it for me for $15.00 which is not bad.
If anyone knows the name of the other 2 fish let me know.

Stumbled upon your video today. Recognized your guide as Chico. Watch his channel a lot and once ran in to him at (Druif Beach) your first stop. Learned location from one of his videos. I too was in Aruba in Feb. fishing the same spot but as with you way to windy. Wild side as I refer to it. Will be returning in June to give it another try.😃Malmok is another place I fish while there (Calm side) with good success.

That’s great to know Aruba is one of my favorite places to go I try to go once a year, but this time I might take Chico advice he said go in October best fishing time

[@jonk9293]

Yeah typically Feb, Mar and Apr are quite windy. In Sep, Oct and Nov there are days/weeks where the wind dies down.

[@patdogs1aka]

Great video, now I know to avoid February when traveling to Aruba

[@fishscookseats]

Aug to nov is the best time

[@Quaketornado]

First and second fish you caught are called hilisterchi also know as a yellowtail snapper. The third fish you caught is called checheibi also know as a blue runner, the pufferfish was actually a spotted trunkfish we call them fototo and the grouper are known as djampou in Papiamento.

The bait fish you caught on the sabiki was a yellow-tail snapper

[@fishscookseats]

Thank you I wondered what that was

[@jhonleon3521]

No such thing as wrong month for fishing here in Aruba. Fishes year round by the rocks. Just need the right set up at a particular location. Better luck next time.

[@OasisFishingGroup]

Do you have to get a non-resident fishing license when you go to Aruba to fish on the docks or from shore

[@fishscookseats]

My guide told me no fishing license needed anyone can fish
