While the fishing was slow on the day I went out, Captain Dmitry worked hard to find the fish. We started by catching fish for bait and then moved to several locations in search of bigger game fish. We did end up catching a grouper, which was the first one Iโve ever caught!
Captain Dmitry uses an app to translate between Russian and English. We actually talked quite a bit since it was just me and him on the boat that day.ย I definitely made a new friend that day.
It was a beautiful day on the ocean,ย but the waves were a constant 4-6 feet where we were fishing. Definitely recommend dramamine, since the boat is smaller.
While I wish the fishing was better, I still had an outstanding experience. Iโll definitely book with Captain Dmitry the next time Iโm in the DR!

Had a great trip yesterday.ย Seas were rough so we had to head in early. Caught sand tile fish for bait then caught red snapper strawberry grouper and another orange grouper that I was unfamiliar with. Caught 1 larger shark too that caught for an hourโฆ.was quite the workout. Took a big snapper to a restaurant the captain recommended that they cooked up. The 1 fish fed five of us!ย Gave the rest to the captain
Thank you Chris, Iโm glad that the ocean and I were able to give you an adventure and a great catch. Come again.
We caught lots of fish! Mostly sand tile fish. Some red grouper, one squrriel fish (very cool), one black tregar fish and 2 giant queen trager fish! Caught about 30 fish in 3 hours. Our whole group of 3 seemed to all get seasick at the same time and the caption offered to bring us to a pool to help pass the seasickness. We declined tho as we didnโt want to stop fishing. Caption does speak very limited eenglish and uses a translation app over his boats speakers. Thereโs absolutely no question that this guy can put you on the fish! Extremely knowledgeable and skilled!

Thanks a lot
We did the short trip a couple of miles off shore where you drop your line in the water and wait for the bite using cut bait.ย Good trip.ย Was a bit wavy so take a Dramamine and donโt drink the night before.ย We caught some fish though so it was good.
Thank you very much Ron for the kind words I hope you come back to fish again
Dmitry was extremely knowledgeable and made our fishing trip fun and successful. I appreciated his insight into how best to hook our catch and not lose them. Fishing on the open water in the sea is not the same as I was used to in small streams and lakes, his advice was very useful.
