subject Our fabulous fishing adventure

Peter and Platel,
Just a quick email to let you know what a great time we had fishing with
your gang. We arrived on the afternoon of 15th. We werepicked up at our
hotel by your van and driver. He was on time to the minute. He was very
curtious and freindly. His first question to us was were we ready to catch
fish. Of course our answer was a heartfelt yes. We charted a 4 hour
afternnon chater for just the 2 of us, (Tina and myself), she says it is
because I don't share very well. I might agree a lttle. We drove to the
Marina and were met at the shop with 2 white marlin hanging from the morning
outting. I was excited to say the least. We started out with 15 min of
arriving at the marina. 7 miles out from shore the line went in the water.
I was amazed at how well the first mate ran the poles and kept everything
neat and clean. 10 minutes into the trip and the right rod went ripping
tthrought the water. I could tell Tina was excited but wanted me to catch
the first fish. 15 minutes later we had a beautiful Darado aboard. First
one down. We trolled throught the beautiful waters and enjoyed the warm sun
all the time talking with our captian and first mate. The boat the
Intrepido was beautiful. As we trolled along we saw birds dipping into the
water. I had been deep sea fishing before and knew this was a good sign. I
saw our captain turn the boat toward the birdas and 100 yards past them 4
poles all went off. We watched as 4 Darado took our baits. I grabbed the
first rod Tina the second, the captain the third and our first mate the
fourth. He ended up losing his but the rest of us worked our fish and he
landed them for each of us. What an exciting adventure. I would love to
come back again soon. We have already discussed our return trip to Punta
Cana next year, and of course there will be only one Charter service for us.
Thanks to everyone and good fishing at www.firstclassfishing.com

So, it was all dorado and no bills?? What size were the dorado? I hear of few decent marlin being boated in the DR. Overall, it sounds like you had a good trip and some satisfied clients. At the end of the day, as long as the anglers enjoyed the outing it was a success.
