Sea Ripper rips it up. For only the second time, we have started trolling the 6.5" Sea Ripper Lure, and with excellent results. This time, during a trip with Xavier Walter and family, from New Jersey, the Sea-Ripper raised a 200# blue marlin! We hooked the fish three times, and got a few headshakes out of him, but the catch was not in the cards, next time. This lure is producing some exciting bites, for sure.
Not soon after the blue marlin bite, we passed by one of our many FAD GPS coordinates, and scored big time with a 30# plus bull dorado.Xavier did a great job bringing the fish alongside the boat. There is a whole other story to this fight, which we will save for later. Xavier did some snorkeling around some of our favorite coral heads close to shore and took some super Go-Pro footage!
It is incredible the coral formations that we have here on the North Coast, and within a few yards of shore!

Carl and Amy had a great time visiting us, fishing, sightseeing, horseback riding, and enjoying the local color. Cabrera is a very interesting place with plenty of fun activities and sights.
Our guests went horseback riding up in the mountains and then down to the beach, visited a small home business of cigar rolling, named Babanuco`s, and enjoyed cocktails and appetizers at "Manny`s", a favorite local hangout on the Cliffs of Cabrera. We also enjoyed the sights of the Laguna Gri-Gri canal, lined with hundred-year old mangroves.
Come and visit us, we are THE most affordable Caribbean destination!

There is a lot going on here at our beautiful hillside B and B, located just outside of the town of Cabrera.
We are currently involved in a testing program for High Roller Lures, courtesy of Darcy Ellis. We have been pulling the 6.5" "Sea Ripper". So far the lure has received some viscous surface strikes from toothy critters, mainly wahoo. This lure is certainly built to take the punishment. We`ll keep you up-dated on our testing progress.
We hosted Carl Thomas, and Amy for nearly a week and had a great time with them, check out the accompanying photo, taken at Manny`s Restaurant, on the Cliffs of Cabrera, a really cool and rustic restaurant.
In other news, I have been in close contact with Roffers, the company that interprets sea surface temperature data, and other data useful in locating pelagic fish.
I am currently involved in a program to enroll 15 fishing operations here on the North Coast, so the company will include our area in their data interpretation field. This could be a big boon to the fishing here.
Tomorrow we go out with Xavier Walter and family, to do some filming with his new Go-Pro camera, and will come back with some super footage of life around a FAD.
All this is coming your way! We are constantly at work to better our operation and offer you a higher level of service!
This month and next month we are offering free ground transfers from Cabarete, Sosua, and Puerto Plata, to the Rio San Juan, where we keep the boat. So if you are planning a vacation, please contact us!
See you`all soon,
Capt. Randy

Huge schools yellowfin and blackfin tuna are moving through our area. During our last trip, we couldn`t get them to bite, no matter what we tried. But, when these fish take up residency on the local FAD`s, they will begin to feed like crazy! Some of the local fishermen are already catching them, three to five pounds, with some 40 and 50#`ers thrown in. The springtime bite is about to go off.
We have a marlin only trip tomorrow, so I will post our results tomorrow night, hopefully we`ll have a good trip. I have made up some live bait rigs, and will be pulling some artificial lures, so we`ll see.
Our last guests at the B and B, who fished three days, Carl Thomas, and Amy, had a great time, they are wonderful people, and it was our pleasure to show them around our beautiful town.
A nice e-mail from Amy says it all.............."What an amazing trip! Thanks Randy and Dawn for making it a perfect vacation. Love your B & B and hospitality! The whole experience was perfect....highly recommend anyone heading to the Dominican to check them out!!"
Spring is here, and the trips are filling in nicely, so call me or e-mail me and we`ll find you a spot!
