Amazing fishing in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Panama. John Horsey and I took a winter break to catch some Central American sunshine and film some great saltwater fishing action.
Our base was the aptly named Paradis Lodge, located near a group of islands that provide stunning sport in sheltered water. We landed 14 different species with rooster fish, cubera snapper and a variety of trevally topping off a great week.
There are numerous areas to access by boat and the ocean here is very rich indeed. With such a vast amount of bait fish it is no surprise to find big numbers and variety of quality predatory fish to target. Depending on species and location methods include surface popping, sub surface lures, jigging, baits and even a few fish on fly tactics.
Paradise Lodge has superb boats and guides, includes all meals and is expertly run. Good value for money for a well run operation.
