Hey guys I've hung around this site for a few yrs and i finally decided to sign up. I was just curious if anyone has ever fished in punta cana, dominican repub. I will be there in June for a week for our honeymoon and was looking for some feedback since we've never been there. I've done some research of some charters but wanted to get some opinions from some local boys....thanks for any help!

You are a lucky guy in more ways than 1. Not only are you getting married, but you found a girl that likes to fish and lets you. But... when I got married, I didn't even think of fishing for 3 months! lol Cool

if you want to look through my other photos here is the directory

we had a good time other than my fiances jewelry getting stolen from the high end resort.. We got there and the safe would not work. We went downstairs to let them know and meet some people and they came in and robbed us in a very short period of time. thousands of dollars down the drain but it was a beautiful place. I would not drive there though they drive crazy and the airport was a little bit crazy. I would not go back but I did enjoy the time we spent there.. Make sure to bargain for cheaper fishing trips on the beach and ask to see the boat they have. As the sea's are quite large there. But it only took about 10 minutes of driving to get too the shelf. We trolled for 4 hours before we got the hookup I thought we where going to get skunked. But the Cap came through. Make sure to tell the cap to not kill the fish if you want a release. I tried to tell mine 5 times when fighting the fish but they dont really understand english all that well. So tell them before hand. You will not be able to keep the fish regardless its against there laws..

she told me when i was planning the honeymoon that i had to pick somewhere with a beach and a place that we could fish at least twice. Lately she's been watching my sat/sun morning fishing shows and she's all pumped up about catching a marlin or dorado. For a first timer like her offshore, do you guys think a 4 or 5 hr trip the first day is a good idea. I told her if she likes it then we will go the next day on a full day trip. Any thoughts?

Pay attention to the quality of fishing by season. Just got back from Punta Mita, MX with a group from corpusfishing.com (report forthcoming), and while we had a blast and caught enough for a huge feast, it was not the time for billfish or tuna. I knew that going down, however.

On the plane back yesterday, a group was on board from Houston to Austin coming back from costa rica. In three days of fishing they pulled 21 sails, with one day 12! Crazy. Further south, warmer water.
