Sept/2018 Panama Fishing Report – September tends to be one of the wettest months of the year here but that doesn’t mean that the fishing isn’t good!

We are the closest fishing lodge in Panama to the offshore action at Hannibal Bank and Isla Montuosa. A thirty minute boat ride (12 miles) from Boca Chica, and a one hour ride from David’s port of Pedregal, brings you to the largest island in the chain…Isla Paridas.  No big industrial commercial fishing operations, and governmental protection of all billfish are a few of the reasons why fishing Panama is so great.

In addition our island lodge is a place where those who do not want to fish can enjoy and have fun while the anglers chase marlin, tuna, wahoo, grouper and more?

And September 2018 we hosted a few groups here on the island and they all had great trips! Matter of fact the fishing tends to be great all around inshore and offshore in September. The generally overcast conditions are ideal for the fishing…the clouds keep the water cooler and the fish tend to stay on top. Lots of Roosterfish, Wahoo, Tuna, Dorado, and even the deep dropping for Snowy Grouper was good.

Let’s let the pictures do the talking….
