Artisanal reef fishing is a type of bottom fishing done in a wood/fiberglass boat. Bottom fishing is fun for everyone regardless of age and experience. Adults, children, professional and novice anglers can enjoy a day of fishing Monte Cristi’s many reefs. There are always several types of fish to catch.

We prepare and bait your bottom rigs with fresh bait. You can catch amberjack, grouper, yellowtail snapper, triggerfish and many other species. The fish you catch on the reefs tend to be smaller. You have the choice to catch and release or keep what you catch. If you decide to keep your catch, we will clean it for you and you can have it prepared at a local restaurant.

Note: The season and water conditions influence the type and quantity of fish you catch.
