the fishing piers near nunez de casares is crowded with guys trying to catch a fish. I have a feeling these guys just go there to get away from their wives and to just drink beers. I have only seen someone catch a fish there twice is more than one year of going there. In simple words, no one catches anything.
The las americas highway fishing is dangerous. yes guys do fish there with homemade fishing equipment but any decent guy with a car is seen parked and fishing could be a target. this area is right in front of some seriously poor barrios and the word in the street is to stay away from there in terms of fishing. This is the reason no real people who look like middle class with a car go there to fish. you will get robbed if you have anything valuable on you. Nunez de casares area on malecon is a safe place with police vigilance. There is parking for your car. the bad news is that Presidente beer factory also dumps their waste and chemicals right into the ocean there. The huge pipes come all the way from the presidente factory (underground) to the dumping point in the ocean, right in the same spot as the fishing piers. If you would catch anything, it might be contaminated.
So here is my take on fishing in santo domingo.
