The fishing forecast for the Pacific wat

September 9, 2025

With high activity expected throughout the month, this season presents a fantastic opportunity for anglers to target a variety of prized game fish. Current Fishing Conditions: September is an exceptional month for sport fishing in the Panama-Pacific, especially for those targeting migratory species. Our latest reports indicate that the mahi bite is in full force, and anglers are having great success. Additionally, sailfish and wahoo fishing remains excellent, with consistent reports of these powerful fish at the major banks and offshore areas. Yellowfin Tuna catches are also strong, with schools being found 50 miles off Panama City. Whether you are an experienced angler seeking a trophy marlin or a family looking for a fun day on the water, the abundance of species ensures a memorable trip. Limited-Time Bonus: A Majestic Marine Spectacle Enhance your yacht rental experience with an unforgettable, limited-time opportunity to witness one of nature's most impressive events: the Humpback Whale migration. From July through October, thousands of humpback whales travel from the cold waters of Antarctica to the warm, protected waters of the Panamanian Pacific. Here, they breed and give birth to their calves, making for an awe-inspiring sight. Why this is an unparalleled experience: A Sanctuary for Giants: The calm, tropical waters off Panama provide a haven for mother whales to nurse their young, offering a unique chance to see these majestic creatures up close. Peak Viewing Season: September is the peak month for whale sightings, with some tours reporting a 95% success rate. Witnessing a whale breach or a calf playing near its mother is a truly magical and humbling experience. Exclusive Opportunity: This migration is a seasonal event that will not be available year-round. Combining your fishing adventure with a dedicated whale-watching excursion adds a priceless memory to your charter. Don't miss the chance to experience the thrill of world-class fishing while also marveling at the incredible journey of these gentle giants. Contact us today to customize your yacht charter and secure your spot during this prime season.

Blue Lobster

Bring a rain poncho just in case and if you have a favorite casting rod maybe bring it Theirs are good Shimano's but maybe this is a personal preference of mine they are little oversized but they need that to last. Daniel provides a great lunch and all the water sodas and beer you could drink. They definitely want you to have a great experience and they provide it. His mate Michael is really really good and they both speak great English

Rainy season seems to be better for peacock bass in the canal and Lake Gatun. Book early morning to avoid Panama traffic. Bring sunscreen. Make sure your guide is fluent in your chosen language.

i would recommend booking a longer trip with this guide. We were limited on time and only booked the three hour trip, but i wish we'd fish with him longer.

Panama Fishing Trip

It's the start of the rainy season so plan appropriately. Highly recommend good gear to manage both sun and rain. After a very successful day 1, weather changed our day 2 plans and we struggled to get on the fish.

Check with your captain on the best time to fish based on what you want to catch. We had booked the morning, but then moved to the afternoon because the fishing was expected to be better.
