Bite after bite on the
Bite after bite on the "Pique y Pique"
Jul 21, 2025 Panama City
This last week the inshore bite was insane!!! Hooking up 20 or more fish in a day seems to be the rule this past couple of days! Casting and trolling got us hooked on Bonito, Sierra, Jacks and Mexican Houndfish... We even got a big Rooster in the live bait! We had 2 groups from Texas, one from Colombia and one from Mexico! Fish on!

The sea was a little rough but the bite was on fire! the minute we arrived and deployed the spread we got hit. We had multiple, double, triple and even cuadruple hits during the day. We stoped at a calm bay to have lunch were me and Justin (mate) prepared 2 different dish of Albacore Carpaccio for our dear guests. We closed the day jigging in a deep reef around Chamรก Island were we got a nice Lane Snapper... what a wonderful day! Tight lines!

Big Almacos and Cubera!
Big Almacos and Cubera!
Jun 25, 2025 Panama City
Patience and live bait does the trick again! we had a very nice couple looking to pick a fight with some big fish! So we did. First thing in the morning we load the baitwell with some hardtails, once we got bait we steamed directly to our "honey hole", we arrived at the precise moment, half pushing tide! we rigged our first bait, and we started on the east part of the reef a south to north drift moving a little west on each drift until we found the bait ball on our sonar! The reef was plagued with small triggers and other bait eating critters, but we could see some nice marks on our sonar, so we kept drifting baits over the spot. and suddenly boom, our first Almaco took the bait. After a 15 to 20 minutes fight the fish was on deck... a couple of Mackerels took the jig, before a nice Cubera took a second bait! While jigging we caught a 3 pound bonito and we decided to slow troll it over the rig on the downrigger... It paid off, a second hefty Almaco took it! What a great fight... after 20 minutes that beast was on board and we had a very happy couple on board... What a great day!

Pearl Island Trolling trip became a bott
Pearl Island Trolling trip became a bott
Jun 25, 2025 Panama City
This was a repeating client, we fished Otoque Island Back on 2023, we had an exceptional day back then, we caught over 40 albacores! This time, they wanted to go after Mahi and Sailfish! They booked their trip 8 months in advance... 4 days before their trip, wind shifted, north wind started to blow! pushing all the bait and Mahi's out of the Gulf! As fishermen, we know that currents and wind can change everything... without the possibility of a good day off shore, we talked to the client and changed the trolling trip for a Bottom fishing trip... Pics will speak for themselves! Enjoy! We got another epic day!
