What's on the Menu Today

Alright, let's break it down. We're talking 8 hours of non-stop action, kicking off with 4 solid hours of fishing. And let me tell you, these waters are teeming with the good stuff. Once we've hauled in our catch of the day, we'll cruise over to Saona Island. This place is the real deal - picture-perfect beaches, crystal clear water, the works. We'll grab some grub at a sweet little spot right on the sand, and yeah, it'll probably be whatever we just caught. Talk about fresh! To cap it all off, we'll take a dip in Saona's famous natural pool. It's like Mother Nature's own infinity pool, and it's absolutely killer.

Reels, Rods, and Island Vibes

Now, let's chat fishing. We'll be doing a mix of trolling and bottom fishing, depending on what's biting. Our boats are decked out with all the gear you need - top-of-the-line rods, reels, and a fish finder that could probably spot Nemo if we asked it to.

Bring your swimsuit, sunscreen, and maybe a good book. The beach here is the kind of place where hours slip by like minutes.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Let's talk targets, folks. The waters around Saona are like a who's who of gamefish. First up, we've got King Mackerel. These bad boys are fast, furious, and put up one heck of a fight. They're around all year, but peak season is fall through spring. Next, the legendary Blue Marlin. If you're lucky enough to hook one of these giants, you're in for the battle of your life. They start showing up in May and stick around through October.

Mahi Mahi, or Dorado if you're feeling fancy, are another crowd-pleaser. They're not just delicious - they're acrobatic fighters that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. Look for them from December to March. Wahoo are the speedsters of the bunch. These torpedo-shaped fish can hit speeds of 60 mph, so hold on tight! They're most common in the winter months. Last but not least, the Great Barracuda. With those razor-sharp teeth and lightning-fast strikes, they're always an exciting catch. You'll find them year-round, but they're especially active in the warmer months.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, I've been running these trips for years, and I still get a kick out of watching folks' faces when they land their first big one. There's something special about being out on these waters, feeling that tug on the line, and knowing you're about to go toe-to-fin with a real fighter. And then to follow that up with some quality beach time on Saona? It's like hitting the vacation jackpot. Plus, the chance to eat what you catch is pretty darn cool. From boat to plate in a matter of hours - can't beat that freshness.

Learn more about the species

Blue Marlin

Blue Marlin are the heavyweight champions of our deep sea fishing scene. These massive billfish can grow over 1,000 pounds, though 200-400 pounders are more common catches. You'll find them in the warm, blue offshore waters, usually over 100 feet deep. They're migratory, but peak season here is late spring through early fall. Marlin are famous for their spectacular fights - expect powerful runs, tail-walking, and acrobatic leaps that'll test your stamina. It's pure adrenaline when one of these giants crashes a trolled lure. While we practice catch-and-release to protect the population, just seeing one of these majestic fish up close is unforgettable. To up your odds, troll with a spread of large lures or rigged ballyhoo. Keep your drags set light at first - these fish can easily snap heavy line on their initial run.

Great Barracuda

Great Barracuda are the toothy terrors of our nearshore waters. These long, silvery predators can grow over 5 feet and 60 pounds, with a mouthful of sharp teeth to match. You'll find them lurking around reefs, wrecks, and channel edges, often in surprisingly shallow water. They're here year-round but are most active in warmer months. Barracuda are ambush hunters, known for their lightning-fast strikes and powerful runs when hooked. While not the best eating, they're a blast to catch on light tackle. Their aggressive nature and willingness to hit lures make them a favorite target for novice anglers. To catch one, try casting or trolling shiny lures near structure. A word of caution: use pliers and gloves when unhooking these toothy critters - their bite is no joke!

King Mackerel

King Mackerel are a prized catch around here, known for their speed and fighting spirit. These sleek predators typically range from 20-40 pounds, though some monsters can top 90. You'll find them cruising the open water, often near the surface. They love to chase baitfish, so look for diving birds to spot feeding schools. Kings are most active in our warmer months, from late spring through fall. Anglers get a kick out of their blistering runs and aerial acrobatics when hooked. Their firm, oily flesh makes great eating too, especially when smoked. If you're after a big one, try slow-trolling live blue runners or mullet. Kings have razor-sharp teeth, so don't forget wire leaders. Keep an eye on your bait - these speedsters often strike fast and hard, giving you just seconds to react.

Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish

Mahi Mahi are one of the most exciting fish to catch in these waters. They're known for their dazzling colors - electric blues, greens, and golds that shimmer in the sun. Most run 15-30 pounds, but 50+ pounders aren't unheard of. You'll find them near floating debris or weed lines in the open ocean. Mahi are fast growers and year-round residents, but fishing really heats up in the warmer months. They're famous for their acrobatic fights, often leaping and tail-walking across the surface. Anglers love Mahi for their hard strikes, beautiful appearance, and excellent table fare. To catch them, try trolling small lures or rigged ballyhoo near floating structure. A local trick: once you hook one, keep it in the water - others in the school will often stay close, giving you a shot at multiple hookups.

Wahoo Fish

Wahoo are the speed demons of our offshore waters. These sleek, torpedo-shaped fish can hit 60 mph in short bursts. Most weigh 15-40 pounds, but 100+ pounders show up occasionally. You'll find them in the deep blue water, often near drop-offs or underwater structures. Wahoo are here year-round, but fishing peaks in the warmer months. Anglers prize them for their screaming runs and tasty, firm white meat. When a Wahoo hits, hang on tight - they're known for blistering first runs that can strip hundreds of yards of line in seconds. To target them, try high-speed trolling with diving plugs or rigged ballyhoo. A local tip: use wire leaders and sharp hooks, as Wahoo have razor-sharp teeth that can easily cut through mono.
