Fishing for Blue Marlin has boomed in the Dominican Republic over the last 5 years and the country is now one of the biggest Blue Marlin fisheries in the whole world. While high season for Blue Marlin here runs from July to September you can find the species in the water all year round.
High season means just that - Blue Marlin double headers have been fairly frequent, with many charters quoting a catch a day in the summer. In recognition of this fact, the Billfish Report named the Dominican Republic as no. 1 billfishery in 2013, calling the 2013 season there "one of the finest Blue Marlin seasons the world has ever seen."
Marlin here tend to be slightly smaller than average, but their abundance and agility certainly makes a trip to the Dominican Republic for Marlin fishing more than worthwhile.

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.

We had a great experience, but were told that the fishing is definitely better in the winter months

The wind and waves are bigger in the afternoon, so I would book a morning trip.

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.

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

Mahi Mahi is the primary fish to target. I was told bottom fishing is not that good.

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

I recommend doing a private charter if you are fishing the ocean for the first time, not a group charter. Have fun, we did!

Be prepared for a great day of fishing. If you target a specific type of fish like I did (marlin) you will pass up on action from other varites.

Me and my friends had a great time. We didnt catch anything and the Captain gave us 2 extra hours for free trying to find the fish. I am coming back and try it again in May. I would highly recommend Zs.

Watch weather and wave forecast. Book early in your trip so you can change according to weather.

Don't think about it. Book it! You'll have a great experience! Also take motion sickness medicine, just in case.

Book with Captain Acra for outstanding trip. Also we rebooked our trip from
December 2 to November 30 due to the offshore winds. Try to keep your date open due to weather.

We caught the fish we intended (Dorado and Wahoo), but were not able to get as many as we had hoped.
May not have been the best season for fishing, but the time of year that we traveled to Dominican Republic was out of our control.

Do your homework before traveling to punts Cana. Read as many reviews as possible for the proper fishing guide.
