Hoping to cast a line in Punta Cana? Look no further than Pescando Y Comiendo! Your guide for the day is Captain Jhonny, bringing aboard years of sportfishing experience.
These waters are known for Bonito, Great Barracuda, Amberjack, Yellowtail Amberjack, Mangrove Snapper, Red Grouper, Yellowtail Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, and more – with any luck, it won’t take long to hook into some. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep.
On the day of your trip, you’re likely to bottom fish. Children are welcome, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available. There will be soft drinks, beer, and light snacks included, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. You’ll be glad that pick-up from your hotel is included.
You’ll be fishing aboard The Seaquest, a 22’ bass boat with space for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. Before coming aboard, it may be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.
You’ll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect. You can’t go wrong when you bring sunglasses, a hat, comfortable clothes, and sunscreen (non-spray).
You could keep reading this, but wouldn’t you rather be fishing with Pescando Y Comiendo?

3 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM)
Even though we had to cut our trip short (more below), Captain Alex was great and I would recommend this boat if you are looking for a specific type of outing. I booked this 3-hour, bottom fishing trip because I was with my kids and I didn't want to book something that was twice the price that went out in much deeper water for bigger fish. The pre-trip communication was excellent (though knowing some Spanish was helpful, but not required). We were picked up at our resort on-time (driver was already waiting), and the vans were clean and had good A/C both ways. The company rep met us on the beach for payment of the remaining balance (and offered either cash or credit options), and then we boarded the boat with Alex. He was the only crew-member, and it's a small boat for 3 people fishing max, so it was perfect. His English was competent (though we often spoke a mix of Spanish and English), and he was very knowledgeable and very kind/patient. The gear was good. He had plenty of water/soda/beer. We trolled on the way to the spot (about 30 min, no bites, but that's not unexpected), all within sight of the shore (including a pretty stretch of national preserve). At our bottom fishing spot, we were able to bait our own hooks, cast etc. if we wanted (my preference), or Alex would do it for you (my son's preference). He also let my son be in charge of "chumming" with crumbled tortilla chips to attract schools of smaller fish (kind of silly, but he got a kick out of it). After about an hour with several bites and hookups (but no landed fish), the swells were getting pretty high and unfortunately my son got seasick. It's also very, very hot and humid this time of year, which didn't help. If you have ever been seasick, it's hard to turn it around until you get back to shore, so we decided to head back early. Captain Alex was very kind and had no judgement, offering water/juice as well as offering to take us snorkeling nearby instead. He also called ahead to make sure our ride home was waiting for us at the beach. So not the best trip in terms of fish, but that's how fishing goes sometimes, and my son and I had a good experience together on the water...I would definitely recommend this trip for a shorter trip for a small group, targeting smaller fish, on a smaller, less expensive boat than the bigger, deep-sea boats.

3 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM)
I enjoyed the fishing session very much in a great weather. I was picked up on time at the beach right in front of my hotel, hopped onto the boat and was off to fishing - it was a very efficient start. The bite was slow on this day, but we managed to catch a nice puddingwife and a yellowtail snapper. The captain was very friendly and worked hard to make the fishing session productive. Highly recommended!
