Fish bait for river fishing
La boca in cab was where I was going to try. The other one that where the camarones didn't work is up in the fincas north of Los costillos
all the guys I know whom fish the rivers and lakes use earthworms and plastic jigs for bass & corn for tilapia.
although store bought worms here, never seen them.
but RD$100.00 to some enterprising young lad should get you a tin full............
g'luck
Here in the DR, I ain't been to any fresh water that i would eat the live stock out of. Even once near monte plata, the
creek were recreating in, was clean, clear and far from any concentrated civilization, we found clams, clams by the
dozens, we were going to steam'em but got to the point, where hey look where we're at, you know, no way to consume them.
I've lived here finishing up 15 years, no major illness, no major nothing bad, I do not take chances!

The camarones that they are talking about are small fresh water shrimp, usually found in the same river you fish. Go along the edges of the river and slowly turn over large rocks, you will find them they are usually about an 1-1/2 and are almost translucent. Find a dominican youngster tell him you want some camarones para pescar and for a few pesos he will gather you a bunch , it will be worth it as the shrimp are quite fast once you turn the rock over. Good luck i was only able catch a couple of small fish that resembled a white fish
I assume that one can fish in the rivers and streams and surf in the DR without any permit.
I once stayed with some people in the mountains back behind Imbert and there were a lot of crayfish in the river there.

Saw a kid walking down the road with a bunch of carps hanging on a stick....... I pulled over and my wife bought half of his catch for 200 pesos or so......
Not my favorite fish but they tasted ok, like carp actually......:laugh:
