Fishing with Captain JD
6hrs LAKE GATUN Fishing trip on November 3, 2025
Fishing at Gatun Lake was simply outstanding. From the first cast to the last catch, the entire day was filled with excitement and pure joy. The scenery is breathtaking — surrounded by lush rainforest and the iconic Panama Canal — and the guides were incredibly knowledgeable about the area and the species.
The bite was on fire! Peacock bass, snook, kept us busy all day long. Every catch was a new thrill, and Captain JD made the whole experience smooth, fun, and educational.
This is a must-do adventure for any fishing lover visiting Panama. 🌅
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars all the way!

3hrs LAKE GATUN Fishing trip 8:00AM on January 22, 2026 • 3 adults
JD replied promptly in English and picked us up on time, the app said he was the captain so we were not worried. He dropped us off with Eduardo who was our actual captain and he spoke no English. That being said, the fishing trip was great, we caught peacock bass only and got to see the monkeys and enjoy a couple of hours on the lake. The description said there would be beer, water, soda, and snacks. There was only water and soda. I complained and when we got off the boat they offered us a beer. Eduardo was very nice! Thank you for a great experience.

Jose worked really hard to put me on fish. It started out rough but towards the end we started to catch fish. I finished with eight peacock bass and lost a nice sizes snook. It was a cool experience fishing in that area. It didn't break the bank and would definitely use them again.
