The Billfish Report is counting down its Top 10 Billfisheries of the Year, with Casa de Campo ranked 6th. More than 9,000 Billfish Reports were submitted to the portal in 2017 from around the world. Criteria for the Top 10 include fish numbers, variety of billfish species, reports, average size of fish, length of season and number of boats fishing. The report focuses on outstanding catch of sailfish, swordfish and blue marlin.

The Billfish Report on fishing in La Romana states:
La Romana, Dominican Republic – Some of the best blue marlin fishing in the Atlantic. Only one other fishery can match it in numbers in the Caribbean. Perhaps one of the most reliable bites in our sport. It seems every year, we cross the new year and then the blue marlin start to feed off the waters of the southern Dominican Republic. We have always contended that this is a nursery for these smaller sized blue marlin, leaving us wondering where mama is. What they lack in size, they may up for in numbers.”
