While the fishing was slow on the day I went out, Captain Dmitry worked hard to find the fish. We started by catching fish for bait and then moved to several locations in search of bigger game fish. We did end up catching a grouper, which was the first one I’ve ever caught!

Captain Dmitry uses an app to translate between Russian and English. We actually talked quite a bit since it was just me and him on the boat that day.  I definitely made a new friend that day.

It was a beautiful day on the ocean,  but the waves were a constant 4-6 feet where we were fishing. Definitely recommend dramamine, since the boat is smaller.

While I wish the fishing was better, I still had an outstanding experience. I’ll definitely book with Captain Dmitry the next time I’m in the DR!

Had a great trip yesterday.  Seas were rough so we had to head in early. Caught sand tile fish for bait then caught red snapper strawberry grouper and another orange grouper that I was unfamiliar with. Caught 1 larger shark too that caught for an hour….was quite the workout. Took a big snapper to a restaurant the captain recommended that they cooked up. The 1 fish fed five of us!  Gave the rest to the captain

We did the short trip a couple of miles off shore where you drop your line in the water and wait for the bite using cut bait.  Good trip.  Was a bit wavy so take a Dramamine and don’t drink the night before.  We caught some fish though so it was good.
