Default Jersey MOJO in Aruba

Logan and I did our annual trip with Marcelimo in Aruba last Tuesday. Game on first 15 min, Logan on the rod with 12lbs Amber Jack. Awesome watching my son wrestling it in no problem. Next was a baracuda, then a small big eye, then we doubled up on albacore. Switched over to deep drop with electric reels. Had huge grouper on taken by bull shark 20 feet from the boat. Finished up with four nice yellow eye snapper. Tasted great whole fried and blacken.

you do not go far two miles off beach you are in 5000 feet. October is a great time to go. Its always windy in Aruba. However when its hurricane season in the carribean it draws the winds away from Aruba being its out of the hurricane belt, and you will fish the North side of the island which typically is the best. Seas are almost always 4-6 feet. Rates are typically 300 for 4 hours, remember you are almost as soon as you pull out. Best is dock off Marriot. Handicuri. My friend Maecelimo been fishing with him 16 years. His charter used to be the Caroline, now its Sunshine fishing charters, and boat name is Persistence. If you go tell him Mark from New Jersey recommended.
hope this helps!
