Standard fishing trip
Fishing Adventures Bonaire offers several fishing experiences. We arrange a standard trip where we mix up trolling for big oceanic species with jigging along the reefs and drop-offs. If we happen to encounter fish feeding at the surface, it’s time to start casting using a wide range of lures. This has proven to be a great cat & mouse game which makes the time fly by. Expect lots of action and a diverse way of fishing. We may encounter a whole range of fish species which inhabit these tropical waters. If you prefer to use one fishing technique over the other, let us know and we will make it happen.
Departure in the morning at 05:30 – 6:00
Departure in the afternoon at 14:00 – 16:00 / return 20:00 (sunset session)
Fishing the F.A.D.’s (Fish Aggregating Device)
This is where fishing gets serious as we purposefully go after the bigger tuna’s. Those are yellowfin, blackfin, big-eye and skipjack tuna.
Around the island we’ve placed several fads. These are buoys with structure hanging underneath that bring in small baitfish, which in turn attract large gamefish.
It is in these areas where jigging can be highly effective during the early hours and in low light conditions. After that, it’s time for the experienced anglers to start casting poppers and stickbaits and trigger some of the most violent topwater strikes imaginable. There’s no telling what will hit a well fished popper, it could be anything from a 10 pounder up to a fish that outweighs the angler. The boat’s open bow and stern make for a great casting position.
This trip offers the best and most spectacular fishing with a very high success rate and is absolutely recommended for an unforgettable experience or the more experienced angler.
Only top quality gear is used onboard like Jigging Master, Shimano rods & reels and Ripple Fisher and Yamaga Blanks for casting poppers and stickbaits.
Departure 04:00
Casting topwaters for tuna’s
This is for experienced anglers only and represents the pinnacle of offshore sport fishing.
We will head out to the fads and focus on casting lures, with the goal of getting a tuna to blow up on a popper or stickbait.
Anglers are expected to have decent skill when it comes to handling a spinning rod, and be able to make powerful, long distance casts.
There’s a maximum of 4 anglers on the boat and is it strongly advised to leave spectators on the dock. This is serious fishing, not boating.
Most commonly we come across yellowfin tuna with blackfin and skipjacks mixed in. Wahoo and mahi may show up as well.
Thus far some of the biggest tuna’s we’ve seen, were caught this way with some even passing the 250lb mark.
Duration 13:00 – 19:00
Bonaire has several lagoons and flats that allow us to fish for bonefish. The bottom is mix of hard sand and weedbeds. The waters are ankle- to kneedeep and with an open connection to the Caribbean Sea. The waters are crystal clear, making spotting a fish easier. We wade in the warm waters and fish by sight. The trick for an angler is to present a fly or lure in the path of an approaching bone.
Bonefish are known for their powerful runs and give any angler a hefty fight. The use of ultra-light spinning gear makes this experience and challenge even better. Other fish we encounter are permit, barracuda, several jack species, cubera snapper, ladyfish, tripletail and tarpon. .
Departure in the morning at 07:00
