Offshore and deepseafishing booming for
May 9, 2023
Offshore and deepsea fishing is around the corner, this means a very interesting time of the year where during a full-day fishing charter, you can actually target most of the species found in tropical regions of Panama. On one side water hasn't reached its highest temperatures so reef and bottom structure species like Red Snapper, Grouper, and amberjack are a common target for jigging, poppers, and deep divers trolling around the structures as we approach the islands. On the other hand, we have been experiencing the first rains of the years, in fishing terms, this means glass calm seas cruise faster and further to drops where drift lines form with all the natural debris like driftwood and other organic materials like nutrients flushed by deep jingle rivers. Once they reach the drift lines, they become ideal places to target monster bull mahis approaching from the South Pacific as well as other common pelagic like tuna, wahoo, and billfish as well.
