Our family of four went on the 4-hour trip on Lake Gatun. We are beginners and our guide Rene gave us a lot of tips for finding good spots, casting and reeling in fish. Rene was friendly and patient, and a very skilled fisherman too. Time went so fast, and we came home with enough fish for dinner!

The boat and equipment were in amazing condition. The captain was extremely prepared with bait and a huge selection of lures. He handled the boat professionally. Had plenty of snacks and assorted drinks.

He had us on fish within 20 minutes of leaving the dock, and it stayed that way the entire day.  I will totally use him every time I come back to Panama.

Today a buddy and I fished with Captain Rene of Panama Fishing Trip (PFT). The Captain himself picked us up from our hotel (an additional charge but well worth it). Captain Rene is indeed a seasoned angler and was able to put us on top of some great fish. This day, we were only able to bring in some Peacock Bass but man they were plentiful and were hitting. Although this was my first fishing trip with the Captain I’m certain it won’t be the last. Stop thinking about it - Book that trip today!!

My father and I fished a full day with Rene and it was a great experience.  We arranged transportation with Rene and he picked us up personally at the hotel.  Along the way he was very informative about the fishing and life in Panama in general.  Fishing on the lake that is part of the Panama Canal system is a very unique experience by itself.  We caught some beautiful peacock bass.  Otherwise the fishing was a little slow but that happens with fishing.  Rene is definitely passionate and knowledgeable about the local fishing.  I definitely recommend this experience.

My husband took an interest in fishing so I surprised him with this fishing lesson. It was awesome!!! Rene is an experienced fisherman and a methodical teacher. He learned a lot and I enjoyed the scenery ☺️ Incredible experience, memorable adventure with good snacks, which is very important 😉
