Our fishing trip near Gamboa in Panama was absolutely unforgettable! We had an incredible day on the water, reeling in a bunch of vibrant, hard-fighting peacock bass that made for nonstop action and excitement. The lake itself was stunning, with calm waters and beautiful surroundings that added to the experience. What really made the trip stand out was Captain Gerardo—he was exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and clearly passionate about fishing. He knew exactly where to go and what... More

Had an amazing day on the water! First target peacock bass. Started with some smalls ones to warmup, then we got into some studs! Got my fill of peacock bass, then target snook! Got my personal best snook while trolling. Finally, get to see some monkeys. I can’t recommend Gatun Sportfishing enough! Professional and knowledgeable guides makes the difference!

Gerardo our captain picked us up at our resort on time. He worked extremely hard putting us on fish. He is very knowledgeable and taught us the techniques needed to catch fish. We caught 5 different species in excess of 30 fish!  Of the many fishing excursions we have done in Canada and around the world,  Gerardo rates in the top 2 and the best outside of Canada. He is also very knowledgeable about Panama and was able to answer all of our question in depth. My wife and l both highly recrecommend... More

Gerardo was a phenomenal captian! He showed us different monkeys on the way out to the fishing spot. It was relaxing and enjoyable to see and learn about the different monkeys. The fun had just begun. We started catching fish right away. We caught multiple species, smaller fish, and bigger fish. We caught fish with live bait and artificial top water baits. The top water baits were fun to see the fish strike at the surface. Overall a great trip and would do it again.

Our captain/fishing guide went out of his way to make our visit in Panama memorable. We came on a cruise ship so our time was limited and did not fit their normal fishing schedule. Gerardo, our guide, transported us in his own car from the cruise ship to Gatun lake. He completely adjusted his schedule to fit ours. We really enjoyed fishing in a remote area of the lake and even during midday, in a rain storm, we caught the peacock bass that we came to see. We also got to see 3 species of monkeys... More
