Not Professional

Heldagstur – Taboga Island2 voksne

There were 3 fishing rods on the boat. TWO lures, NO BAIT and NO tackle box. The captain was a sweetheart, but not a professional fisherman. Very disappointing.

Hello Steven, Thank you for taking your time to write, we definetly value a lot our clients reviews. These time of the year water is really cold and we basically target bottom species and this is done with deepdivers, therefore we try not to use that many lines in the water because deepdivers are extremely easy to get tangled, so the most common setting is triangle shape rigging, about the lures tottally unacceptable, this was the captains resposability fortunetly we have a station and the island so he was able to get some additional lures for the afternoon fishing session. Keep in mind that when our dockmaster offered the courtesy land transportation the day before your departure, he also mentioned that there was going to be spearfishing gear on board which was one of the specialities of the season since as you noticed cold water had fishing condittions a bit low. As you noticed at the end of the day your boat caght the most fish of all the boats out that day! im attaching a picture with one of your barracudas, definetly keep us posted for any future visits to Panama, always willling to remeditate any situation with our clients!

    Great Day, Great Crew, Tight Lines

    Halvdagstur (morgenøkt)2 voksne

    Captain Miguel and First Mate Lino were both wonderful - friendly, engaging and full of knowledge about Panama, the local waters, wildlife, history, and of course the best way to catch some fish! We ran 30 minutes past the cargo ships at the canal entrance to the 100' drop where we trolled and hooked up a black fin tuna in about 5 minutes. Bites were steady over the next 90 minutes and we boated 4 tuna, and a nice sized Mahi. Lino filleted the fish for us, and we ended up having a little sashimi and ceviche mid-morning. Wow! It was getting hot, so we ran to Taboga for a quick look around, then back in. Peak Panama!

    Highly Recommended

    Heldagstur – Taboga Island4 voksne

    What a great outing! By 8 AM we had already caught so many fish that it was getting old, so we moved on to search for more elusive fish. My son was really hoping to catch a mahi mahi like he had years ago. While he didn't get one, we did end up catching 3 different species. Our captain, Miguel, was great! He served us fresh tuna sashimi right on the boat. When we stopped at Taboga for lunch, the restaurant he took us to cooked up some of our tuna for us as well. It was cool seeing so many different types of ships throughout the day and learning more about what each was carrying. Thank you for a memorable day!

    Great day on the water!

    Heldagstur – Taboga Island2 voksne

    Captain Miguel and mate Pooras were great ! They know how to fish , very informative on the country and wonderful hospitality !! Caught large sail fish and a Mahi which we had delicious ceviche with on board and some for lunch at Toboga Island . Also caught a tuna of which they fixed some sashimi with and also a grouper. Had several more fish on line that spit the hook before I got them on board. Couldn’t have been happier with the experience on the Blue Lobster with Miguel and Pooras . I would recommend the 8 hour charter because every part of it was great ! I would not want to have missed out on any of the wonderful experience they gave me !! What a day on the water !!!

    We had the best time on our fishing trip. The boat ride out was fast and super fun. Miguel and Boris set up all the fishing equipment while we just enjoyed ourselves. Once a fish bit, it was our time to shine. At one point all 4 lines had a fish. They guided us and cheered us on as we reeled them in. We caught 8 fish total, 1 being a mahi mahi. Boris cleaned it right on the boat and we had fresh ceviche within minutes. Would take this trip 100 times over. We had a blast. Huge shout out to Miguel and Boris for making it memorable.

    Slow day, but determined crew

    Heldagstur – Taboga Island1 voksen

    I booked the 8-h tour, hoping to get some Mahi Mahi or Sailfish - After a promising start the action died down. Captain Miguel and Lino made every effort to get me on some fish, but it was just one of those days. They are very knowledgeable about the area's flora and fauna as well as the country - so I learned a lot and did see some great wildlife while trying to get something on the line. Cpt Miguel constantly explained his gameplan and in the last hour we finally hit fish. Jack and Spanish Mackerel found their way into the boat and I enjoyed a nice sashimi. Overall a great experience. Can't blame tour operator or crew for a slow day and the garbage floating in the water which caused a 4 star review.
