Fernando Morrell

Member since July 2025 Panama City, Panama
Background
Benefit from Capt. Fernando's extensive knowledge of the local fishing areas and ensure a memorable fishing trip for your group in Panama City. This area is known for Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Skipjack and Goliath Grouper and you'll get to catch them using bottom fishing, spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, or other techniques. The only way to learn is to join them on the water.
Techniques
Rod and reel fishing (bottom fishing or spinning): The most common technique, ideal for both beginners and experts, allowing fishing in various environments. Trolling: Consists of dragging lures or baits from a moving boat, ideal for catching large species in open sea. Live bait fishing: Uses live fish, shrimp, or worms as bait, very effective for specific species.
