What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Punta Cana for the first time?

Get a captain who knows where the buoy is and knows where to take you for the mahi-mahi, but is willing to give you live bait and string the ballyhoo well

This goes for any fishing trip but even more when non stop trolling if your not sure if you get sea sick or not be sure to take dramamine. Always wear clothes your comfortable getting wet in

Wear SPF shirts and bring hats. Make sure you have plenty of water. It gets hot out there & if you’re catching fish you’ll need energy

Take motion sickness medication. Although rougher seas are better fishing normal weather conditions are a little rougher than normal on waters on the east coast

You want a professional crew for a great price, go out and have a great fishing experience. Take this crew and go have Fun

That they’ve been on boats like this before and they can handle the up-and-down and not get sick. I’ve been on botats my whole life. Unfortunately, my brother-in-law couldn’t handle it

This charter group is meaningful and tend to your every need possible! I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone!

We caught more than we expected. Water was a bit rough. Expect to catch Mahi Mahi and barracuda the bigger fish come in the earlier months.

Definitely! Just know catching isn’t guaranteed. Hard working captain and first May att hood I rate a trip

We got skunked. I don’t know if this is off season or just a bad day. It’s called fishing not catching. Anyone who has fished a lot knows that’s how it goes sometimes

Be patient have a good attitude, talk to everyone and you will have fun. Remember it’s called fishing not catching. These guys work hard and with there experience they know the places to be.

Look for an 8 hour trip and make sure the boat is equipped with essentials and technology to help locate the fish

Definitely recommend the Fishing Machine to experienced anglers and new fishermen and women! Terrific day on the water

Go early in your trip, Captain will clean fish for you to take to your condo or a restaurant to prepare it for you. Your fresh catch will be way better than the fish they purchase at a restaurant.

Get ready for choppy water. They call it fishing not catching. Some days are better than others but everyday on the water is great.

If you’re fishing for the first time, you need not to worry with this crew, they will put you on the fish and show you exactly what to do.

Remember it is fishing and not catching. So make sure to pray to whatever fishing gods you believe in before you go. Good luck the crew was great and gear and boat nice.

Make sure to get a patch from your doctor. You never know what the conditions will be when you go out on the water.

Always a possibility with high winds and rough waves. But that's what you expect this time of year in punta Cana

I didn’t want to go out very far to troll I enjoyed fishing where we did,about a mile from shore,and the way we fished,with bait towards the bottom

Captain was great. Took our two boys age (11 & 10) and it was perfect. We catch 4 strawberry grouper, 3 banana fish and a trigger fish in a 4 hour fishing trip. Good day fishing. ??

I fished all my life on Lake Erie in Ohio. I never got seasick. This time I did. The water was tolerable with rollers that exceeded the boats height. So I got sick, take Dramamine before you go!

Make sure that if you want to keep catch you make it clear to captain before you get on boat. I don't like to argue with people, especially in a foreign country.

Captain canceled and rescheduled trip due to weather , professional service 2nd time fishing with Alex it’s fun

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!
