Trip Summary

The first rains of the season only mean something: deep sea fishing season is ON! Red snapper and its buddies from coastal bottom structures are still biting. However, on our way to the islands for these targeted species, we are dedicating some time to deep-sea fishing, and this will start becoming normal as we enter summer. Rain combined with southern currents will start warming waters, bringing nutrient-rich deep sea currents. The addition of rivers flushing rainwater with driftwood will all combine to form long drift lines to target our favorite pelagic species like tuna, mahi, sailfish, and wahoo!

The fishing forecast for the Pacific wat
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.
