sports fishing charter Punta cana

On May 17th, 2008 we experienced our first taste of deep sea fishing via First Class Fishing. We were on a family trip to the Dominican Republic to celebrate my father's 50th birthday, and as his gift, due to his passion for fishing, we decided to take him deep sea fishing.

I selected First Class Fishing for several reasons, one for the well laid out website, and second for the fact that I could pay via Paypal which is a secure and safe method for a deposit in a foreign country. I wanted to make a deposit well in advance to make sure we got what we wanted.

Our group which included (3) fishermen, my brother, my father and myself and (2) observers / photographers, my wife and my mother had a private 4 hour charter in the morning.

The excursion started by being picked up promptly at our resort, and a short drive later we were on the beach and getting ready to get in our boat. Once on the boat we met our Captain and the first mate who were both very friendly. After a short ride out to sea during which the first mate prepared all the rods, we started trolling with 4 rods off the back and one up where the captain sits. Not long after all the lines were in, the mayhem started. One line had something on, then another, then another, then another. All (3) of us had a line, the first mate was holding a line and then the captain had something on his line. It was crazy, we hit a school of Dorado. Once the 3 of us got our fish in, the crew passed over the remaining 2 fishing rods that still had fish on them so that we could reel those fish in as well. This process repeated until we were done. We ended up getting (7) good size Dorado which were in (2) separate batches, and we would have caught a lot more if we had remembered to take the motion sickness pills before going. The water was not too rough, but not being on the water too often in our normal lives a few of us were feeling sick near the end so we cut the trip about an hour short. If you don't do a lot of boating I would recommend taking the pills to be on the safe side. Even with the shortened time, we were all more than satisfied with the experience.

I strongly recommend First Class fishing. The crew was fantastic, there were plenty of fish and we all had a great experience.
