Default Aruba Fishing Advice

I am heading down to Aruba the end of March. Looking for some advice on lures. I just picked up a inshore travel rod looking to fish the docks in front of Marriott surf club. Does anyone have any recommendations on what lures i should bring with me?

Thanks in advance.

Yo zuri crystal minnows. Yo zuri mag darter. Jig heads and some gulp swimming mullets. Also bring hooks and fluoro in various tests. Bones are doable but ya gotta huff it away from the crowds. They're small but you can def see them up on the coral reefs.

I've hooked into monster jacks and cudas down there at night. Missed what I thought was a snook. Caught giant needlefish too. Mirrorlure mirrodines in silver and mullets patterns are money.

Bring aqua shoes or wading shoes if you go on walkabout. The coral and urchins can do damage.

Last time I was there I was walking the docks at night before dining and there were some serious tarpon cruising around. Never tried for them and the pilings would've made for an adventure during a screaming run lol.

Bring metal too. Spoons, avas, etc.
