August 2019

Fishing Report and Photos

August is one of our favorite months here at our upscale private island lodge, on Isla Parida, 12 miles off the Pacific coast of Panama. August 2019 did not disappoint as the fishing again was really good! We hosted five great groups and did a few day charters out of nearby Boca Chica.

 

 We also were lucky to host the crew from our sponsor Mustad Hooks who was here filming their trip and getting content for their new line of products coming out in 2020. Thank God we were blessed with some great fishing and an awesome trip. Thanks so much to Mustad for all their support!!!

The 'rainy' season always brings cooler temperatures and excellent fishing. Traditionally it's e specially good for Black Marlin, Roosterfish, and Wahoo. The cooler water usually means that the bait is plentiful. And with all the bait around there is sure to be big predators in tow!   

As usual in August concentrations of 'Bonito' (Black Skip Jack) stack up at the high spots at Hannibal Bank and Isla Montuosa and attract the Black Marlin who come in shallow to feed. Our live bridled Bonitos did the trick...as we released some impressive Blacks in August.

Wahoos like to feed best on cloudy days here and trolling Yo-Zuri lures...especially the new 'High Speed Vibe' and 'Bonito' proved deadly last month for us here. 

Near the lodge here on Isla Paridas the Roosterfish were practically jumping in the boat! There was lots of bait around the island and the Roosters were actively feeding. We had multiple days with double digit Roosterfish releases and all within a stone's throw of the lodge! 

The Yellowfin Tunas really have been holding strong here in the Gulf of Chiriqui as well. The concentrations of small Mackerel the Porposies and Tunas have been feeding on offshore aren't as big as they were in the months past but there was still some bait around. We got into some nice Tunas a few days and our clients were able to feel the power!

As usual...there were also a bunch of other species caught and released by our clients. Blue Trevalle, Dorado, Mullet Snapper, Jack Crevalle, Rock Snapper, and more!!!

Thanks so much to all our awesome clients for choosing
