Looking to take a trip in early May, and was looking for ideas.

Looking for somewhere with a hot bite, lots of fish seen, rasied, etc...

[Wireman]

Venezuela or the DR

[deadbaiter]

anyone else have any ideas?

Venezuela is by far your best choice unless you are willing to travel to Cape Verde.

Gotta love Venezuela in the spring. These were caught on May 3rd of this year. We saw about 25 blues in 3 days if I remember correctly. Also about 30 sails

Headed there for a vacation and wanted to see if anybody had any luck during that time or could suggest a good charter?

If you are looking for something a bit closer and more convenient, the Blue Marlin Bite in the Bahamas is typically April through July.... Moon matters, as usual most everywhere on the Blue Marlin bite, so make sure to get the right week, for your location. We like to start fishing hard for them about 2-3 days after the full moon. Usually you get a wide open bite 2-5 days after the moon, and the bite continues to be good for about 7-10 days...

We'll have boats fishing in Both San Salvador and the Abacos in May. The bite starts a bit earlier in the Abacos, and the BBC is held starting in late April though mid June...so that'll give you an idea of when the season is in the Abacos. In San Sal, the bite usually starts in early May and gets best on the moons in May, June, and July.....
