Panama is fast becoming Central Americas next "Costa Rica". Although the country is relatively undeveloped anglers have been traveling here for many years and now are realizing it’s full potential. It is perfectly safe to travel and is in my opinion the world’s best mixed bag fishing trip you can ever experience. Over the past several years we have had trips with over 20 different species caught.

Offshore (can be within 2 miles) species: Marlin (blue and black), Sailfish, Dorado, Wahoo and Tunas (main target being yellowfin from 20-300lbs!!).
Inshore species: Trevally, Roosterfish, Cubera snappers, tunas, corvina, grouper, jacks, pompano, snook and a host of others….

I use what I consider the two best outfitters in the region. One is a mothership operation with excellent amenities to target the famous Coiba Island/Hannibals Bank area. The other a land based lodge with great access to the fishing grounds both operations hold real chances of world record fish.

Mothership operation is first class and this all inclusive package includes:

  • First and last night hotel stay in Panama City

  • In-country flight and ground transfer to boats

  • Option of 4-7 days of fishing

  • All meals aboard the ship and packed lunches soft drinks & beer for fishing

  • Lodging in AC cabins

Not included: international flight to Panama City, gratuties for captains and crew

Prices range from $2500-$3500/person depending on length of stay and number of anglers/boat. Please contact me for an itinerary.

Land Lodge is smaller and accommodates up to 6 anglers/week. This is an amazing trip at an amazing price. You will fish here all of your days without seeing another boat !!
This all inclusive package includes:

  • Double occupancy rooms the night before and each day of fishing, all meals, local beverages (includes beer), center console super pangas, guides, fishing equipment and tackle.

Not included are international flights to Panama City, gratuties for captains and crew

Prices range depending on size of group (excellent small group rates) and length of stay. I always recommend 4-6 days of fishing here as there is so much to see. Starting @ $1200/person. Please inquire about this as I usually customize this trip to the clients.

Please inquire and as always I will take care of all your trip details and you will pay the same price and sometimes less than booking directly through the outfitter.
