Panama Sport Fishing Attracts Anglers From Around The Globe

By Millie Rhodes


Panama sport fishing is world class fun. The word Panama translates in the English language to 'abundance of fish', and the nation lives up to its name. The country holds several world records. It provides some of the world's largest marlins and it has many large fish of several varieties.

One popular destination is Pinas Bay. Pinas Bay is known for huge marlins. It has one of the best black marlin fisheries in the world. The area also has blue marlin and striped marlin as well as Pacific sailfish. Other coveted species include grouper, amberjack, snapper, dolphin and plump yellowfin tuna. Tropic Star Lodge, on the bay, is world renowned and it has first rate lodging catered towards anglers.

Another fine location is Gatun Lake. Situated in the Canal Zone, the lake forms a freshwater connection between the waters of the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans. Here anglers seek tarpon, snook and peacock bass. While an average peacock bass runs about three pounds, Gatun Lake has trophy bass that exceed ten pounds.

For those seeking to charter a boat, fees run anywhere from about five hundred dollars for two fishermen on a full day trip to about three thousand dollars for a group of people to charter a boat for three days. Guides are usually knowledgeable and some chartered trips include guarantees on catching a sought after fish, offering discounts if the quest fails.

The best season to come to avoid rain is during a dry season that runs from December to March. However, the action is fierce anytime of year and even during the rainy months tropical storms are rare.

Panama sport fishing is world class. Fishermen and women of all ages and abilities can truly enjoy this tropical paradise as they seek creel limits or world record fish. Tourists from across the globe come to the land that is named 'abundance of fish'. Read more about: panama sport fishing
