    Default Punta Cana

    Any advise on a charter captain. Going next March for a wedding and kick around for a couple days before coming back. Looking like good fishing in that area.

    I went on the Unbelievable out of Stuart, FL. Capt. VJ Bell and Elijah are first class. It's a 61' Richie Howell with a SeaKeeper and Omni. They let us actually hook fish instead of just handing us a rod after the fish was hooked. We caught a few whites and had an opportunity at a blue in the spread but didn't capitalize. If he's in that area in March, I recommend booking with him.

    JABIII isn't going to Haiti for any reason. You can hunt me up in Croatia in a few months. Dolphin off the beach, Bluefin tuna in a stone's throw. Folks who know how to behave...

    I’ve fished with VJ in Isla many moons ago when he ran the Boneshaker. Ifs there that time of year, I’d fish him again over some local I didn’t know.

    We were staying in Cap Cana in Punta Cana in April of ‘23 when we fished with him. He takes the boat to the DR every year. If you are serious about it, reach out to him and see if he will be in the area during that time. https://stuartbiggame.com/

    Same damn island. You don’t think the barbarians next door don’t climb walls do you? We went in 2023, it was ok.
