What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Jan Thiel for the first time?

Mahi and Jack are the common species in the Caribbean around September, and it is also the beginning of bull shark season right up until Marlin season starts in early November. The fish are not as plentiful as some other places, so definitely request the north side of Curacao if you want shark or marlin. As for flats and inshore fishing, the south side of the island is just fine and in addition to the species listed for Curacao, you have a chance of encountering tarpon, giant trevally, nurse shark, sawfish (EXTREMELY rare) and several other species. We even saw a couple tarpon and a nurse shark while we were on our trip.

Absolutely the Captain was ..very knowledgeable of the area, and filled us in on all history of these waters.
