About us
Biggame Fishing is run by Capt. Thomas who is an expert fisherman and has won many trophies in local and international tournaments. Thomas has been guiding bonefishermen for over 11 years and is one of the best (if not the best) guide on the island. He is mentioned in international sport fishing magazines "a true guide". Thomas has been tying his own flies for years, and has his own fly pattern. Thomas used to work with his now retired Dad Capt. Cornelius Van der Bijl who started fishing the Caribbean waters (Aruba) about 50 years ago and also used to be a captain on a rescue boat. 

Bone Fishing
Experience the trill of light tackle spin or fly fishing by wading through the flats with an experienced guide. The waters are shallow and completely safe. You can catch bonefish and permit.The average bonefish weights 3-6 pounds. A 9 pounder is not unusual. Bonefishing can also be done with our 12' skiff in the mangrove area. Then you can catch bonefish, snook, tarpon, barracuda and snappers.

Night Fishing
Night fishing is done by slow trolling or ancoring. Life and dead bait is used. You will catch Horse Eye jacks, Cubera snappers, Yellow Tale snappers, Barracuda etc.

Reef Fishing,
Reeffishing is done by slow trolling along the coastline using life bait or lures. You will catch Barracuda, Snappers and Tuna.
This is great for light-tackle anglers and a fun activity for kids too..

Deep Sea Fishing
Deap Sea fishing on Bonaire can be done close to the shore because of the drop off. Because of the unique shape of the island fishing can be done in calm waters.
Deap Sea fishing is done by trolling with bait and with lures. You will fish for Marlin, Dorado, Wahoo, Sailfish, Blackfin Tuna and Yellowfin Tuna.
