If you are looking to go fishing in Punta Cana, look no
farther.
Having fished from Alaska to the East Coast, I know that picking
a charter boat can be a tricky business. My first fishing trip in Punta Cana
landed me on a crowded boat with only two fish landed, neither of which were
mine. I never even touched a pole. This is the price I paid the price for not
doing my homework and simply picking a boat from the advice of our resort.
My second visit to Punta Cana would land me in a much better
deal, I decided to do some homework and follow the advice of some of the better
travel forums. My final choices was to book a private charter through www.fishinpuntacana.com.
Divided between some family and friends, the price was awesome and was cheaper
than if we went joined another group and paid by the person. I would recommend to
anyone headed down there with more than 3 people to simply spend the money to
charter your own boat, it was a night and day difference. Group trips with new
people can be fun too, but having our private charter really added something to
the experience.
After getting some great deals at their shop landside, we
headed to the boat and headed out. (They did not start the clock until the boat
was literally underway. This was awesome because it allowed us to be relaxed
and schedule free.)
After a short cruise out, we spent the afternoon trolling
for Marlin, Dorado, and Tuna. We landed 18 Dorado, 1 Tuna, and fought an 8ft
white tip oceanic shark all the way up to the boat. (Too dangerous to land it.)
We were even fortunate enough to cruise through a school of dolphins that came
right to the boat. Needless to say, we
had a blast. Our five hour charter slowly turned into six and longer because
the fishing was so hot and we were all having such a good time. It was one of
my most memorable fishing days that I can recall and that is a tough thing to
say after spending 12 summers fishing in Alaska. (side note: Much more fun to
fish in flip-flops and shorts than waders and long johns.) The staff landside
was awesome and our crew on the boat was even better. I am not sure who was
having a better time, them, or us, but we all had a complete blast together.
‘Not only would I recommend these guys to anyone asking, I am
planning to return myself as soon as I get back down there.
Tight lines and cold beers.
