Charters usually include transportation, meals, fishing gear, and bilingual or native-English-speaking guides. (frommers.com)

The sailfish bite slows down as summer approaches and black marlin and tuna become the target species. I once spent 3 days fishing there in August and, as the lone angler, caught 85 tuna, 5 sailfish, a black marlin, a Roosterfish and few other species when I had to take a break inshore . The tuna fishing was spectacular, once a tuna boil was spotted, the captain could back up to the boil and use a can to scoop bait out of the ball into the cockpit. I could then chase the bait around the cockpit till I could grab one and put it on a hook. Once in the water a tuna had it inside seconds. These fish were all in the 80 – 100lb range.

There were literally schools of them that could stretch a half mile across and be suspended from the surface down to about 150ft. Luckily the night before some of the other crew and me were goofing around catching bait behind the ship that I meant to use for roosterfish the next day. This turned out to be the secret weapon against the tuna. (noblehouseyacht.com)

Fishing for Giant Tarpon and Snook is a world-class sport in Panama. There are few charter businesses experienced enough to fish for the elusive and hard to hook Giant Tarpon – which can weight as much as 200 pounds! The Bayano River in Darien gives the perfect weather for both these fish. The high tides from the Pacific mingling with the new water from the Bayana River supply the best feeding place for these species of sport fish. Fly-fishing is a well-liked past time for fishermen – but only the best can land a prize winning Giant Tarpon. (guidetopanama.info)

Our clothes were still in the washer when we decided to go. When we went to check out the fishing docks near the hostel it was only to get some info. We got more than we bargained for – a big, well groomed man approached us as we tried to seem right of the schedule of boats arriving and departing. He spoke gradually in spanish on my account and won our confidence after showing us his ship, the Victoria C. My ship leaves in one hour and the next one isn’t till Thursday. (travelpod.com)
