fellow Visitor, Sportfishing Enthusiast, Deep Sea Fishing Freak or just accidentally jumping in Traveller.
I want to welcome you to Punta Cana, the beautiful east coast of the Dominican Republic.
My name is Michael Wagner, born on south-west Germany's countryside, fishing the local waters offshore Punta Cana much over a decade now, still looking for a bigger one day by day.
The so named Sportfishing in Punta Cana started in the early 90's, while most of todays known Hotel Resorts not even been planned, in small Fiberglass Center Console open Fisherman boats, 2x 60HP Yamaha outboards on a 24ft vessel been a really big deal that time. Our first one, a Maco Americano 24ft'er named Bolero, is holding til today our area's Blue Marlin record caught in Non-Tournament Deep Sea Fishing, a 515lbs female bringing an over 6hrs fight on tackle you won't want to use on a Big Game Fishing Charter of Today's. That time we fished to get fish for the kitchen at home, taking visitors with us been a "financial bycatch" to pay the gas, of course there was no practice of catch & release, than bigger the fish than better for the 'Pueblo'.

Receiving immense changes by the so called modern world, Punta Cana is today one of the biggest Destinations for Travellers worldwide, we never changed the fact that our local waters are free of any commercial/longlining fishing, so we never did that worldwide so modern mistake to destroy first and cry afterwards for laws. Fishing Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic is 100% pure Sportfishing with barely explored resources. While i see no reason to damn a local Fishermen bringing home a Fish, any Fish, even a Billfish, to feed his family, Mike's Marina Fishing Charters invented 2005 the practice of catch & release to Punta Cana's Sportfishing for all Billfishes to preserve our Big Game Fishing Paradise for future Sportsmen. Many local outfitters jumped on that train so now it is up to you, the Sportfishing visitor hiring a Deep Sea Fishing Charter Boat in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, to decide which way it has to be.
