Great trip for my husband and I even though we didn’t have any luck! The crew was wonderful and it was a really nice way to spend an afternoon.

I rarely leave any reviews, but this one is well deserved. I had heard the fishing is tough in Jamaica, so I was hesitant to book a trip. While researching, I came across Island Dog and after reading all the positive reviews, decided to book a half day and so glad I did. I went by myself, had “Kid” as my deck hand and had an amazing day (trying to remember capt’s name). These guys work hard to put you on fish and had a ton of laughs while waiting for the bite. They found em and got me my first Mahi (2 total), both good size, and landed a blue marlin on the way in and got the fight of my life. Another bucket list fish that’ll be going on the wall. All in all, an unforgettable day on the water.

Excellent Experience!  Highly Recommend!  Our group of two couples was booked on the Justeina for 6 hours.  We got picked up from our hotel in Ocho Rios and transported 10 min away to our boat-very handy!.  We were upgraded to ‘Bigg Deal’ from ‘Justeina’ right away.  I’d suggest bringing Jamaican or American currency.  We booked on fishing booker and it gave us a Canadian dollar amount indicating we could pay in Canadian - we brought this amount and the exchange rate was different that day so we were scrambling to find an additional $40 Canadian-not a big deal but we had wished it was clearer on the site - we did email Captain Shelton in advance prior to leaving Canada to clarify this and we did hear back from him but not until the day before the trip after we were already in Jamaica with our Canadian currency in hand.  Also when we go again we’ll be better prepared for motion sickness as 2/4 of us were ill so we shortened our trip by two hours and were back to shore in 4 hours which wasn’t a problem for the crew or us at all….Captain Tony, and Lucky Randy provided an excellent fishing experience and we’d definitely highly recommend them, and we’d go again with them in a heartbeat!  We caught a lovely Blue Marlin - an amazing lifetime experience!  The crew were very knowledgable, helping us to reel it in, conscious of safety, and great fun! 
Thanks so much for a trip of a lifetime Island Dog!!

We bottom fished most of our 6 hrs. We caught a wide variety of small fish (nothing over 10”) except for one large snapper trolling on our way to our first spot.
Thank you for a great day!
