In just a matter of minutes, they landed a massive Wahoo, a powerful Bull Mahi, and several Yellowfin Tuna! This incredible haul, achieved in a brief, spontaneous fishing session, perfectly illustrates the current abundance of our waters.

This week, we have been getting the first few rains of the season. This means nutrient-rich waters from the warmer South Pacific will attract microorganisms, which will then attract the upper stages of the food chain, in other words, bigger fish. Pelagics like tuna, mahi, sailfish, and Marlin will be our predominant bites until November. This day, as we were passing the deepest waters on the way to the Pearl Islands, with an average of 200 feet deep waters, we encountered huge bait balls full of diving birds, which gave us the first indicator of fish around while deciding where to throw lines we spotted some dolphins. There's something that we can tell with dolphins: tuna. We started shifting our lures to cedar blocks on our trolling lines and had our spinning lines with poppers ready to cast them. Whenever we got a bite on the trolling Lines, we immediately cast those poppers and maximized tuna bites. Welcome to Panama game fishing mecca! Enjoy the footage of this beautiful day of tuna fishing in Panama.

What makes fishing so good in this Time of the year? The answer to this is all correlated, the predominant currents coming from the South Pacific deep sea trenches crash with the continental shelf creating a stream of upwelling, forming nutrient-rich regions, not only ideal for targeting pelagic fishes but also bring the visit off hump Back whales, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity that only happens during a short period of time every year, so bring all you family on board, even nonfisherman because everybody Will have a blast!

The fishing species in Panama are pretty well marked mainly in 2 seasons: The rainy season is in the summer; this time, the waters get warm, which is best for sea fishing. The other season is winter, which is not a cold winter (same temperatures as summer), but it's when the water gets chilly. And we focus on deep-water species. However, between these marked fishing species seasons, there are unexpected species surprises! For example, since June, we've been getting a more active than usual number of sailfish on our bites. From half-day trips to Extended trips, the extended South Pearl Islands and full-day Pearl Islands have the most sailfish catches. We practice catch-and-release for this species, and when possible, we board the species for a nice picture and then release it. The most popular lures for attracting them have been Ballyhoo rigged with an artificial skirt and normal fake surface squids.
