Offshore Wahoo & Barracuda: 4-Hour Private Trip

Reel in Wahoo and Barracuda off Dominican Shores

Hey there, fellow anglers! Ready for some heart-pumping offshore action in the crystal-clear waters of the Dominican Republic? Doña Nina Fishing Tours has you covered with our half-day wahoo and barracuda fishing trip. We're talking about heading 8 to 10 miles out where the big boys play. Trust me, once you feel that first strike, you'll be hooked for life!

Trip Overview

Picture this: You're sipping your morning coffee as we cruise out of the harbor, the salt spray on your face and the anticipation building. We'll be targeting some of the fastest fish in the sea – wahoo and barracuda – plus whatever else decides to crash the party. Our experienced crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for a top-notch fishing experience. We've got room for up to 6 anglers, so bring your buddies or make some new ones on board. The best part? We provide all the gear, so you just need to show up ready to fish your heart out.

What to Expect on the Water

Once we hit our sweet spot offshore, it's game on. We'll be using a mix of trolling and live bait techniques to entice those speedsters. Our crew will get you set up with heavy-duty rods and reels, spooled with line that can handle the lightning-fast runs of wahoo and the brutal strikes of barracuda. We'll troll with a spread of lures – think colorful skirted lures and deep-diving plugs that mimic the local baitfish. When we spot activity on the surface, we might switch to live bait to really get those predators fired up. It's all hands on deck when a fish hits, so be ready to grab that rod and hang on tight!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the rush of battling a wahoo or barracuda in these waters. Our guests rave about the whole experience – from the moment they step on board to the victory photos at the end. The thrill of watching a wahoo streak across the surface, its metallic body flashing in the sun, or seeing a barracuda's razor-sharp teeth up close – it's the stuff fishing dreams are made of. Plus, our crew goes above and beyond to make sure you're comfortable and having a blast. Cold drinks, fresh fruit, and plenty of fishing action – what more could you ask for?

Species You'll Want to Hook

Wahoo: These streamlined speedsters are the main event on this trip. Known locally as "ono" (which means "good to eat" in Hawaiian), wahoo are prized for both their fighting ability and their delicious white meat. They can grow up to 8 feet long and weigh over 180 pounds, though most catches are in the 15-40 pound range. Wahoo are famous for their blistering runs – when one hits, your reel will be screaming! They're around year-round, but peak season is typically from November to March.

Barracuda: Don't let their scary looks fool you – barracuda are a blast to catch! These toothy predators are ambush hunters, known for their explosive strikes and acrobatic jumps. We typically target the great barracuda, which can grow up to 6 feet long and weigh over 100 pounds. They're not the best eating, but they more than make up for it with their fierce fights. Barracuda are most active in the warmer months, from April to October, but you can catch them year-round in these waters.

Bonus Catches: While we focus on wahoo and barracuda, don't be surprised if we hook into some other exciting species. Depending on the season, we might tangle with mahi-mahi (dorado), kingfish, or even a sailfish or marlin if we're really lucky. The waters off the Dominican Republic are teeming with life, so you never know what might show up at the end of your line!
