Mike's Marina Fishing Charters John
June 2007

My son and I recently took a trip along with his friend and his father to punta cana specifically to charter a boat for a fishing trip. After reviewing numerous charter options I chose Mike from Mike's Marina to service us for three days of fishing for white and blue marlin. Mike assured me that he would take care of transportation to and from airport/hotel and to the charter boat.

From the moment we arrived off the plane Mike and his driver Richard were there awaiting our arrival. Without hesitation we loaded our bags and were off on a safe ride to our resort. Not once were we dissapointed with the transportation, his drivers were always on time from the beginning to the end of our trip in Punta Cana.

We charted one of Mike's 42 foot boats for three days with the same captain and first mate throughout. Like all of Mike's workers they were very friendly and accomodating, speaking English to us and making sure that we were comfortable. Within three beautiful days on Mike's boat we caught Blue Marlin, White Marlin, and Mahi Mahi.

All four of us were totally satisfied with Mike's service. We are now planning another trip to Punta Cana to again fish with Mike's Marina in a Blue Marlin Fishing Tournement in August. I would recommend Mike's Marina to anyone looking to go fishing in Punta Cana. Whether you are looking to take just a days trip out on one of the boats or planning your trip around fishing, Mike's Marina is your best bet. Not only did he provide us with an outstanding and successful fishing experience but he was even there to show us around beautiful Punta Cana after hours.

It's great to have you back posting reports and pictures

What is the name of this fish? I only know it's name in portuguese

[MikeFisher]

hi Jer,
in the near future you'll get frequent reports and images, i am close to be ready with my new services running from the Club Nautico docks with internet connection on board so i'll force my clients to post their reports before the boat is back to dock. i tried that last year but the internet provider wasn't reliable, this one works.

we call them Mero.
small ones like the one on the image are often found on floating woods in not too deep waters, they are great to eat, delicious.
normally you don't get them on trolling, they hang around rocky/reef areas, we hunt them on night time diving with snorkel gear by harpons. biggest ones we got had over 100lbs.

what's his name in skinny brazilian prtuguese???

have fun

[capt. woodward]

We call them tripletails. You find them all over the Caribbean.

[Jer]

His name in brazilian portuguese is "prejereba". Very ugly name

Mero here is the jewfish/goliath grouper


Internet on the docks sounds great

Ohhh... true, I've read "tripletails" here before!

[MikeFisher]

yes Jer,
in english they call it trippletails, too.
the internet will not only work on the docks, they promised me signal for up to 15nmls offshore, beside the Blue Marlin Season that would mean that we can send images and videos life during most time of the sportfishing charters over the year.
