Just like 2010 and 2011, again this year the Dominican Republic is the place to be for marlin, lots of white and blue marlin around, with double digit figures each day very possible, and already happening. I am fishing out of the resort marina at Cap Cana Marina, only 7 miles from the Punta Cana […]
