    Juan is a great captain

    5hrs LAKE GATUN Fishing trip12:30PM • 2 adults

    at first we were disappointed bc there was no trolling motor, but they informed us that it had broken a few days earlier on a tree, and that peacock bass would not be frightened by the boat motor the way we are used to bass at home. and they were right. we caught a few peacock bass right at the beginning. then my husband caught an oscar! the captain caught a baby snook, as well. we saw tons of iguanas and even a crocodile. the birds and howling monkeys sounded so cool all day. ive always thought our lake at home was beautiful, but I’ve been ruined now, because that tropical rainforest backdrop mkes you feel like youre in jurassic park! caught a few more peacock bass - all in all, it was a great day of fishing!

    Beautiful experience

    5hrs LAKE GATUN Fishing trip - 8:00 AM • 3 adults • 2 children

    Gatun lake is a very beautiful place with the added bonus of passing by the huge ships going through the Panama Canal. We caught some large specimens of peacock bass early on, then nothing for quite some time but we tried many spots until we found a spot that had yet again plenty of fish, even an Oscar! Overall a great experience, our guide was friendly, patient and well equipped. Definitely recommend!

    Fun Trip!

    4hrs LAKE GATUN Fishing trip • 1 adult

    Jose worked really hard to put me on fish. It started out rough but towards the end we started to catch fish. I finished with eight peacock bass and lost a nice sizes snook. It was a cool experience fishing in that area. It didn’t break the bank and would definitely use them again.

    Great Fishing and Monkey Sightings

    3hrs LAKE GATUN Fishing trip 8:00AM • 3 adults

    JD replied promptly in English and picked us up on time, the app said he was the captain so we were not worried. He dropped us off with Eduardo who was our actual captain and he spoke no English. That being said, the fishing trip was great, we caught peacock bass only and got to see the monkeys and enjoy a couple of hours on the lake. The description said there would be beer, water, soda, and snacks. There was only water and soda. I complained and when we got off the boat they offered us a beer. Eduardo was very nice! Thank you for a great experience.

    This was an awesome 5 hour fishing trip, in an awesome location. The captain and crew were top notch. The captain was very nice and on time. He picked us up in Panama City and transported us to the lake. We caught over 10 Peacock Bass weighing up to 3 lbs. I would highly recommend Captain Vamos D’ Pesca Sport Fishing Panama.

    Had a great day on the water with Juan. He picked me up early, we hit the canal right at 6 started fishing by 20 after. I really wanted to target tarpon, so we focused heavily on that. In the in between times I caught snook and peacocks. Overall great day, easily one of the most incredible fishing spots I’ve ever been to. Highly recommended.

What's biting with VamosD’Pesca Sport Fishing – Offshore in Panama City

Make the most of the inshore season before the waters start getting murky, but don't forget about the offshore fish. The all-star cast of Billfish, Mahi, Tuna, and Wahoo will only be together a little longer.
