GREETINGS FROM THE TROPICS

BLACK MARLIN, YELLOWFIN TUNA, WAHOO

PESCA PANAMA WAS BACK ON THE WATER THIS WEEK AND WE WERE CATCHING FISH!  FROM SEATTLE WE WELCOMED FATHER AND SON ANGLERS PETER AND DYLAN JONES AND JOHN AND ANDREW JACOBS.  FROM RIO DE JANEIRO WE WELCOMED ANGLERS; LUIZ CARLOS NOLASCO, SERGIO ANDRADE DE CARVALHO, ROGERIO CABRAL DE MENEZES, WILLIAM SOUZA LEAD, SERGIO ROTHIER AND PAULO KESSLER.

YES, IT WAS A LUCKY WEEK OF FISHING FOR THE ANGLERS OF PESCA PANAMA!  OUR ANGLERS FOUND BOTH THE INSHORE AND OFFSHORE ACTION, "HOT."  CAPTAIN BARTOLO WAS TROLLING FOR WAHOO NEAR JICRON ISLAND WITH SERIGO, WILLIAM AND PAUL WHEN THEIR LURE GOT SLAMMED.  A 200 LB+ YELLOWFIN HAD INHALED A YO-ZURI BONITA.  YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO CATCH WHEN YOU PUT YOUR LINE IN THE WATER.

CAPTAIN MACHO WAS FISHING AT HANNIBAL BANK WHERE JOHN LANDED ANOTHER YELLOWFIN THAT WOULD WEIGH OVER 200 LBS.  PETER CAUGHT AND RELEASED A 250 LB BLACK MARLIN THE SAME DAY IN THE SAME AREA, HANNIBAL BANK. PETER WAS HAPPY ABOUT HIS LAST DAY OF FISHING AS HE CAUGHT FOUR DORADO WITH A FLY ROD.

CAPTAIN LUCHO ALSO HAD GOOD LUCK CATCHING BLACK MARLIN ON THE 'BANK."  LUIZ CAUGHT A 250 LB BLACK MARLIN AND ROGERIO CAUGHT A 500 LB BLACK.  WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE LIVE RELEASES ON ALL THE MARLIN CAUGHT THIS WEEK. THE MARLIN IN THE PHOTOS THIS WEEK ARE OF THE SMALLER MARLIN.
 
AFTER THE GREAT FISHING AT HANNIBAL BANK OUR ANGLERS TURNED THEIR ATTENTION TO INSHORE FISHING.  NICE SIZED WAHOO WERE TO BE CAUGHT IN MOST AREAS. WHAT COULD BE CALLED, "A HERD OF REEF DONKEYS" WERE LANDED THIS WEEK.  MANY ROOSTERFISH WERE ALSO CAUGHT THIS WEEK WITH A "TRIPLE" BEING CAUGHT ON THE LAST DAY.

IT WAS ANOTHER GREAT WEEK OF FISHING.  THANKS TO ALL OF OUR ANGLERS FOR FISHING WITH PESCA PANAMA.  FYI, WE WILL NOT BE FISHING NEXT WEEK BUT THERE WILL BE ANOTHER FISHING REPORT THE FOLLOWING WEEK.

TIGHT LINES,
