Current Panama Fishing Conditions
Sept. 1st. '10
This report courtesy of Capt. Lee A. Campbell at Panama Big Game Fishing Club.
We had 5 groups (Anglers from all over the world – Canada, Uruguay, Brazil, Costa Rica, Lebanon and USA).
They caught/released 11 Marlin - this is with just fishing 30% of the time for Marlin - most come here for the inshore action this time of year.
Wahoo, Amberjack, Mullet snapper, Cubera snapper, smaller Yellowfin tuna on surface poppers rounded out the action.
Also seeing Humpback whales almost every day - seeing a Mother Humpback breaching along side her calf is worth the price of admission.
July, August and September are some of the best months to fish Panama - very good for Marlin - best for inshore - fish many days and not see another boat - that is a big plus for me.
This also is the rainy season - but 90% of the time it rains late in the evening or at night and the seas are calm. We did have 3 bad weather days this month with slow fishing but the rest of the month was good with lots of action every day.
