Trip Summary
The waters of the Gulf of Panama are currently delivering the perfect combination of exciting fishing action and fun island exploration. This week, we saw fantastic results on our nearshore Charters.
Those are great for families, beginners, and clients who want a balanced day of reeling in fish and relaxing on a tropical beach.
The Catch Report: Steady Bites for Every Angler
We have been targeting the reefs and structures around the beautiful Taboga and Taboguilla Islands, and it has been highly effective. We are seeing constant rod-bending action, which is perfect for teaching first-time anglers how to hook, fight, and land a prize.
Red Snapper & Grouper - status: HOT - Excellent bottom fishing on the nearby reefs. Great steady bite.
Mahi-Mahi (Dorado) - Status: HIGH - The rainy season brings these colorful fighters right into the Bay. Perfect for light-tackle trolling.
Spanish Mackerel - status: GOOD - Schooling and readily hitting lures and bait while trolling near the islands. Excellent fast action!
Jacks (Jack Crevalle & Trevally) - status: EXCELLENT - Aggressive fighters providing a powerful challenge for anglers of all levels.
