I’m Artificial Lure, checking in with today’s fishing rundown for the Dominican Republic and the surrounding Caribbean. We’ve got classic early-summer conditions on the north and east coasts. Around Punta Cana, Cap Cana, and Bávaro, the trade winds are up by late morning, but dawn starts are calm and glassy. Expect warm air in the high 80s, water temps sitting nicely in the low 80s, and the usual mix of short showers and bright sun. On the south side, around Santo Domingo, Boca Chica, and Bayahibe, seas are a little more protected, with a light chop building through the day. Tides along the DR coast are running small to moderate today. First light and the last couple hours before dark are lining up near moving water on most shorelines, so plan your casting around the incoming tide at sunrise and the falling tide toward evening. That moving water is what’s kicking bait up onto the reefs and near the river mouths. Sunrise hits just after six in the morning, with sunset a bit after seven in the evening, so you’ve got a solid window of low light on both ends. The bite has been noticeably better in those dim periods; once the sun gets high, the fish slide deeper and you need to work heavier jigs or live bait. Offshore, crews out of Cap Cana and Casa de Campo have been doing well. Recent trips have been putting blue marlin in the spread, with a few whites and the odd sail mixed in. Yellowfin tuna schools are cruising the drop-offs, and mahi-mahi are still around the weedlines and current edges, though not as thick as peak season. Boats are reporting several mahi per trip and steady tuna action when birds are working. Best offshore offerings right now are bright skirted trolling lures in blue-and-white or pink, rigged with ballyhoo, plus cedar plugs and small feathers for the tuna. Chunked bonito or sardine is getting bites when fish sound and you need to keep them under the boat. Inshore around Boca Chica, Bayahibe, and the reefs off Sosúa and Puerto Plata, there’s been good mixed-bag action: yellowtail and lane snapper, small groupers, barracuda, and jacks. Live sardines and small mullet are top baits, with cut ballyhoo doing work when the live stuff runs short. For artificials, white bucktail jigs tipped with a strip of squid, 3–4 inch soft plastics in pearl or chartreuse, and small metal jigs bounced along the bottom are all producing. Shore and pier anglers have picked off snook, tarpon, and jacks around river mouths and harbor lights at night. Topwaters and suspending minnow plugs in natural baitfish colors, worked slow with pauses, are getting crushed in the dark. A free-lined live shrimp or small baitfish near structure is still hard to beat if you can get them. Two hot spots to circle today: • The offshore drop-off east of Cap Cana: work the 1,000–3,000 foot contour for marlin and tuna, especially where you find temperature breaks and weedlines with birds working. • The reef edges off Bayahibe and Isla Saona: great for snapper, small grouper, and schoolie mahi when the current pushes bait across the flats into the deeper cuts. For boat anglers, start offshore at first light, then slide inshore once the wind and chop build. From shore, focus on dawn and dusk, and if you can, fish into the night around lights and moving water. That’s the word from Artificial Lure.
