Fishermen take off to the deep sea at first light, often equipped only with a hand-line, and bring back the catch that sometimes might even include a 300-pound shark! Nets are of little use to local fishermen not only because of strong winds and currents but also because the fishermen are after larger species of fish, mostly red snapper and dolphin-fish.
 
The hand-line is the most common fishing method in Aruba, consisting simply of fishing line, hooks and lead weight. A fisherman bringing up the line has to muster both strength and skill to pull the catch up, often with bare hands, from depths of close to 400 feet.
  Aruba - ==South Coast: ==By far the largest proportion of fishing is done along Aruba's southwest coast (right), although some fishermen sometimes fish on the north coast where the rough sea often cause fish to become trapped in small pools carved in the rocks - an easy catch. One of the typical Aruban seafood dishes, keri-keri, which is a minced fish stew, is often made from fish caught in this way.
Visitors to Aruba who have a love for fishing can charter skippered boats for a fishing expedition where typical catches would be Wahoo, Blue Marlin, White Marlin, King Fish, Tuna & Bonito. Packages include tackle, bait, food, and refreshments.
