We only got into one fish but it was not because for lack of effort. The crew was constantly moving, adjusting lines and trying different lures. When there was some down time, they were telling story’s about their decades of experience and making sure we had cold beers in our hands. I have fished enough to know that catching fish is not guaranteed on any given day and, apparently, that was just not our day. With that being said, I will definitely use them again next time and would absolutely recommend them.

I rarely leave any reviews, but this one is well deserved. I had heard the fishing is tough in Jamaica, so I was hesitant to book a trip. While researching, I came across Island Dog and after reading all the positive reviews, decided to book a half day and so glad I did. I went by myself, had “Kid” as my deck hand and had an amazing day (trying to remember capt’s name). These guys work hard to put you on fish and had a ton of laughs while waiting for the bite. They found em and got me my first Mahi (2 total), both good size, and landed a blue marlin on the way in and got the fight of my life. Another bucket list fish that’ll be going on the wall. All in all, an unforgettable day on the water.

Excellent Experience!  Highly Recommend!  Our group of two couples was booked on the Justeina for 6 hours.  We got picked up from our hotel in Ocho Rios and transported 10 min away to our boat-very handy!.  We were upgraded to ‘Bigg Deal’ from ‘Justeina’ right away.  I’d suggest bringing Jamaican or American currency.  We booked on fishing booker and it gave us a Canadian dollar amount indicating we could pay in Canadian - we brought this amount and the exchange rate was different that day so we were scrambling to find an additional $40 Canadian-not a big deal but we had wished it was clearer on the site - we did email Captain Shelton in advance prior to leaving Canada to clarify this and we did hear back from him but not until the day before the trip after we were already in Jamaica with our Canadian currency in hand.  Also when we go again we’ll be better prepared for motion sickness as 2/4 of us were ill so we shortened our trip by two hours and were back to shore in 4 hours which wasn’t a problem for the crew or us at all….Captain Tony, and Lucky Randy provided an excellent fishing experience and we’d definitely highly recommend them, and we’d go again with them in a heartbeat!  We caught a lovely Blue Marlin - an amazing lifetime experience!  The crew were very knowledgable, helping us to reel it in, conscious of safety, and great fun! 
Thanks so much for a trip of a lifetime Island Dog!!

Had a great time.  Crew was awesome as they assisted our family out of the party of 8.  We all got sick and we’re right there to help us to feel better.  Thank you for cooling us down and help with the sea sickness.  But did catch 2 fish!

Had a great time!  Fish weren’t biting so we didn’t catch any but caption & crew worked extremely hard. Tried several different baits. Extremely friendly & still a great day on the water!  Will book again when we come back!
