FISHING REPORT IN PUNTA CANA DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

[firstclf]

Hi everybody this is our fishing report from 29 of may 2006,early in the morning we were on Alta mar boat with captain Alberto Rodriguez Espinal(moreno) and his mate Marcos ventura,about 7:30 am the sun was just rising and we were about 2.3 nmiles offshore right in front of the old light house in front of the punta cana airport,the ocean was flat,and our custumers were Mr William Shaftnaker(Bill) and his friend Smith,while they were talking about their last fishing trip ,suddenly we heard the reel’s sound they could not beleive what was happening,a nice white a marlin bite the fresh bait,they hooked it,after 18 minutes reeling and enjoying the jumping,they took pictures and at the end they release it,they think it was about 60 pounds of weight every body was happy.
Then we kept trolling, and 20 minutes later they had a second bite it was a 18 pounds barracuda.
About 1 hour later they had a third bite it was another white marlin smaller than the other,they enjoyed 15 minutes and release it again .

hey man,
the old 'Faro de Punta Cana' is far too much south of your position to reach him that time in the morning, sun is up here anyways 6:00AM when i leave my house, if you ever go fishing in front of the "El Faro" you'll stay min 5 better over 10nmls offshore, why to travel that far to fish shallow waters for Billfish?
for the next report talk to the skipper first to get the facts together.
