SPORTS FISHING
Panama offers the world's best fishing on the pacific side.   More than 40-world records have been set.  These waters produce an amazing array of sport fishing opportunities: Blue, Black & Stripe Marlin, Sailfish, Dorado, Yellow fin tuna, Wahoo, Snapper, Groupers and others too numerous to list, making fishing an experience to remember.
Panama saltwater deep sea sportfishing is accomplished in an Eastern Pacific Ocean Gulf of approximately 12,000 square miles which, depending on your point of reference, could be considered relatively large. Charter fishing area encompasses over 100 volcanic tropical offshore islands including the Archipelago Las Perlas and out past the edge of the continental shelf. Deep sea fishing circumstances are somewhat variable but generally from late May to early December the Gulf of Panama is usually calm and seas are from 1 to 3 feet with the occasional afternoon squall becoming more frequent during the months of October & November. From late December to early May is the dry season and the North Wind prevails occasioning normally calm mornings with seas typically 2-5 feet offshore in the afternoons, however plug casting and fly fishing can be easily accomplished in the lee of the many Perlas Islands. There is no rain in the dry season.
