I'm sure your weather is much better than the weather here because it has been 20 degrees F and snowing since we returned home. I would like to thank you again for all of your help and for ensuring that we had a good experience. I will write about it below for you to use on the website. You can use the whole thing, parts of it, or whatever you want. Thanks again.

My wife and I were scheduled to be married October 21, 2006 in Cancun Mexico, accompanied by 40 family and friends, when the unthinkable Hurricane Wilma struck land and destroyed the beaches and resorts of Cancun. Our travel agent suggested the alternate destination of Punta Cana, DR, which none in the group had been to. The entire trip was rescheduled for a week later and 38 people still able to attend vactioned to Punta Cana for a wedding and a week of relaxation. The trip was such a success that everyone wanted to return again.

Throughout the months leading up to the trip several of the men going discussed a Deep Sea Fishing Trip, but we never had time to make any definate plans.

So I found the First Class Fishing website and sent an information and reservation request stating that I knew it was short notice, but I was seeking information and possibly a reservation for 10 people for a private fishing charter during our 1 week stay. Within 15 minutes, Peter and Claudel called me back and prividing me with information, scheduling times, and costs. They then sent me a confirmation email with deposit information and within a total of 30 minutes we were booked for a 4 Hour Private Charter in the Beautiful waters of Bavaro Beach Punta Cana. [/left] [left]We scheduled a morning fishing trip on the 4th day of our stay, and I was instructed to call Peter and Claudel upon arrival at our resort to confirm pick-up times. The day came and at 8:10 a.m. 10 men walked to the front of our resort and there was our shuttle service, greeting us with a ![]() Thank You firstclassfishing.com (Peter & Claudel) Sincerely, Tim Corbett West Virginia, United States [left] [/left] [signature] Re: [firstclf] Punta cana sports fishing reports by Tim Corbett - tubeN2 - 03-15-2007 Nice report and nice fish.

Make sure and check out your local state board as well. From the looks of things, you guys had a great trip. I'd like to have a couple of those Mahi steaks on the grill right about now, and one of those cold cervesas in my hand. Unfortunately, i'll have to wait. LOL, i'm still at work. But no worries, fishing season is soon to get started here in SC. I was hoping to make my first run to the reef this comming weekend, but the weather isn't cooperating. SO, maybe next weekend I can get out there. Good luck and we look foward to hearing from you again in the future! Bryan D. [signature] |
