When Roofmeister — the Netherlands' biggest fishing channel — came to Bonaire, they fished from our Axopar 29 CCX. What came out of it is a three-part documentary that shows the island's fishery exactly as it is: big tuna and barracuda on the blue water, and a mangrove session that surprised even us.
No staged bites, no stock footage — the fish, the boat, and the water you'll fish yourself. Here's the full trilogy.
Episode 1 — Tuna and barracuda
"We never expected fish this big." Trolling and fighting proper fish on the drop-off, minutes from the marina.
Episode 2 — Deep in the mangroves
A bizarre catch in the middle of the mangrove forest — snook and horse-eye jacks where you'd least expect them.
Episode 3 — Flats and deep blue
Fishing the flats and trolling the deep water — the closing episode covers the full range of what Bonaire offers.
