Exactly.

Rincon Beach actually looks very fishy. I'm assuming this is Playa Rincon? Looking on GoogleMap, there is a set of reefs on the east end of the beach. That's major fish treasure chest!

I'm also surprised you didn't catch anything in Samana. There are a lot of good looking areas on GoogleMaps, especially this one bridge connecting to a small island...deep water, bridge support structure, reef underneath and within casting distance...it has to be crawling with fish.

This is where GoogleMaps helps

I noticed 4 different species, including one species of Goby (yup they're there too, but little in numbers). And I had a few bites from the Gobies but lost them. And a few chases from a fish that looked like a Discus but wasn't 100% identifiable. The water was so clean, and crystal clear.

You were right here...blue huts in the picture and the bridge in the background can be seen on GoogleMaps. (19.295395, -69.255635)

And this is why you don't post background...there are dangerous and scary people like me. Now I know where to find a new species of goby and possible 3 other species of fish...even if I've never been there and I'm just doing computer recon

Yeah, you really should have fished the east side of Rincon Beach...so much reef there has to be something around...plus the reef is so close to the sand it is easily reachable by a simple cast.
