In Aruba we target different species of fish which consists of Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi-Mahi, Barracuda, Wahoo, Amberjack, Kingfish, Bonito, Black and Yellowfin Tuna. Although the billfish are around depending on the season. Sailfish are basically known to be in the area during the months of September thru January, but peak in October and November. Blue Marlins and White Marlins are usually in the area from September until April. Still we might catch up to them once in a while during other months of the year. This last is very rare and therefore we cannot predict this for these other months. Wahoo’s on the other hand are in the area the whole year , but peak out during the months of December, January and February. The other species we get pretty much all year. Depending on the season, Teaser charters also do jigging for Jacks, Groupers and other bottom fish.
