Decide wether you want to troll jig for fish. Trolling is less engaging...but potential for bigger fish. It was windy everyday we were in Punta Cana, so the Atlantic Ocean was a bit rough. Even if you think you don't get seasick, I would recommend Dramamine a few hours before your trip.

Read reviews & choose a chart that provides transport to and from where you're staying. Also, make sure you know how to get your catch back home or, at least, allow time to have the marina restaurant prepare some of it for you to enjoy!

DON'T travel with your fly rod in hand carry on the way back to the US. Dominican security confiscated my rod at the airport security checkpoint! I barely got my $800 reel back with me. They have NO idea how to handle anglers.

In my opinion every day fishing is different. We had 6 strikes took 2 fish. I think thats pretty acceptable. We travelled in the taxi with two guys from Chile and they went on a 4 hour trip and caught 5 Mahi Mahi.

Don't take the half day trip. They don't go out very far and probably the same places every day.
My fault for booking that type of trip. We caught no fish but had two bites.
Perhaps if we went straight out and back we would have been in deeper water with more fish. Boat and crew were great.

Granted the crew blamed the poor fishing on a full moon and that they can eat all night. These are fish that never stop moving, rarely stop eating. Wave conditions were 2-4 so not bad for this time of year. These are old boats, chugger desiel engines so expect lots of funds that will add to the sick sickness for some.

Be sure you get good directions to the correct landing. It took us two hours to find the boat. We paid more than double what we were supped to pay. Other than that the trip on the boat was great.

The weather can be variable.
Make sure you stay clear of lots of hawkers on the beaches.
Good lines of seaweed to follow.

We only caught 2 mahi mahi and 2 barracuda but I think it was the weather. The day before they caught 19 mahi mahi

I would definitely recommend Dog Gone 37. Boat and crew. They will pull out all the stops to get you on the fish. But is is Fishing not catching.

Check the sea conditions before booking. Especially, if anyone in your group is prone to seasickness.

Definitely pack lots of sunscreen and some motion sickness medication just in case. The waves can get rough so I would follow the captains advice and not over drink the night before!

Find local fishermen and ask around if you are looking to shore fish. Otherwise be careful of small boats on beacher trying to over charge tourists.

Todd Harshbarger
Only thing is make sure which type of trip you are booking, fishing vs trolling. Each can be fun but if you have a preference confirm up front.

They are there just not jumping in the boat. But its still worth going and getting what the waters have to offer.

Joshua Lutz
Wear sunscreen, if you get sick, take precautions. The winds and storms form rapidly, changing the water conditions.

Be patient they call it fishing and not catchin. Just relax and learn about everything and enjoy the open water and talking with the crew. As far as sea sickness maybe a Dramamine and hr before!

Most beautiful water I have ever had the pleasure fishing in. The people of Punta Cana are very hard working proud happy people. Can’t say enough about this beautiful place.

Bottom fishing in 150 foot water is the ticket, trolling to and feom the botrom fishing area can be productive. We got a big Cero Mackerel teolling back.

Awesome trip. Everyone involved was great. Unfortunately for us, the fish took a day off when we went out but i'm sure the next day had a riot. Highly recommended,

If you get sea sick revive the weeks sea conditions & try to book the calmest day as it can get rough. Also go for near shore not deep sea if you get sea sick as staying busy fishing helps lots.

Be mindful of sea conditions at this time of year, it can be pretty rough. I recommend taking bonine the night before and morning of your trip if you are prone to motion sickness..

Invite a friend or two and book a full day private trip. A full day really expands the options for where you can fish.

where are the medical patch behind your ear to help you from getting seasick hate to see you go all the way out there and have a bad experience from the side of the boat

Find a captain who cares about you. Find a trip that actually leaves from a marina not just off the bank. Ask about the weather.

The process is easier than it might appear and yes, you can bring Mahi-Mahi and other non-bill fish back into the US. Just declare it.

I would not do a 4 hour trip. It isn’t enough time to get the full experience; 6 hours was great for us. Be prepared for large swells the entire trip.

Make sure you confirm the boat is based in a proper marina and not a low rate beach vendor pretending to be based in a marina

Fishing heavy boat is a complete rip off, but today I fished on board Tease Me from Cap Cana marina and had a great day !

It’s beautiful, however we chose to fish at a slow time during the season. Didn’t do my research but still had a great time!
