Dominican Republic Private Fishing
As we bid farewell to 2019, we embark on our final Dominican Republic Private Fishing trip of the year. The weather conditions are returning to normal, with waves measuring 4.6 feet. Today, we eagerly await the arrival of our new friends from England who have booked a 6-hour fishing charter, complete with a stop at the picturesque Punta Cana lagoon and a delightful cooking session on the grill.
Promptly, the transfer arrives at the parking lot, and a family of three steps out of the car. We greet them warmly, provide a brief orientation, and set off on our fishing expedition.
Dominican Republic Private Fishing - Setting Sail
Venturing beyond the reef zone, we extend our outriggers, bait our lines, and prepare for a patient wait. Although the ocean is still unsettled, with changing winds and waves rolling from all directions, we spot a flock of birds in the distance. With determination, we increase our speed and head straight towards them, knowing that where there are birds, there is likely an abundance of fish.
First Thrills
Suddenly, two reels start spinning simultaneously. The first mate waits for a brief moment and then skillfully hooks the fish. We hand the fishing rods to our guests, a fisherman and a fisherwoman, and assist them in battling the fish. Despite their limited experience, they perform admirably. In just 15 minutes, we celebrate the successful catch of two sizable mahi-mahi. Congratulations are in order, and we offer our guests refreshing beverages. They graciously accept and make their way to the upper deck.
Meanwhile, we cast a new bait into the water and resume our patient vigil. Joining the captain once more, I scan the horizon, searching for signs of birds or algae that might indicate the presence of fish. Unfortunately, I find nothing of note. Suddenly, a familiar voice crackles through the radio, revealing that another captain in our vicinity has just caught a mahi-mahi. We swiftly change course to join them.
Plan B-Dominican Republic Private Fishing
Unexpectedly, an unforeseen event occurs—the son of our guests falls ill with seasickness. Sensing their concern, I propose altering our route and heading towards the lagoon, where the boy is likely to find relief. The parents readily agree, and we adjust our course accordingly. On our way back, we encounter a small barracuda, which we release back into the water. As responsible anglers, we believe in allowing small fish to grow and return for them in the future.
Dominican Republic Private Fishing- Time to Unwind
Upon reaching the lagoon, we invite our guests to take a refreshing swim and indulge in some snorkeling. As predicted, the boy’s condition improves significantly after he immerses himself in the soothing waters. Meanwhile, the captain skillfully grills one of the freshly caught mahi-mahi. We set a table for our guests and proudly serve them a delicious meal featuring their very own catch. Our guests revel in the joy of their Dominican Republic Private Fishing adventure, savoring both the excitement of reeling in fish and the serenity of the lagoon.
