Fishing Report - 6/3/06

GREETINGS FROM THE TROPICS,

IT WAS A TIME OF EXCITEMENT AND ANTICIPATION AS OUR FOUR, OCEAN MASTER, BOATS IDLED FROM THE DOCK THIS WEEK. YELLOWFIN TUNA HAD BEEN SPOTTED FEEDING IN THE AREA BETWEEN LADRONES AND MONTUOSA ISLANDS, OUR ANGLERS WERE HEADED THAT WAY.

GUIDE MIKE AUGAT WAS ONCE AGAIN FISHING WITH US AND HAD BROUGHT ALONG ANGLERS; JOHN WILLIAMS, MARK BLAIR, MARK JOHNSON, BRAD OAKS AND HIS SON KYNDON. FISHING PARTNERS RICHARD LANDRY AND BRUCE KIEVIT WERE HERE ALONG WITH RETURNING ANGLER GUY POULAIN.

GUY LANDED THE LARGEST YELLOWFIN CAUGHT THIS WEEK. A 178 LB TUNA HE CAUGHT ON A POPPER WHILE FISHING NEAR MONTUOSA ISLAND.

KYNDON, BRAD, AND MARK ALL BOATED CUBERAS ON THE POPPER THAT I WOULD CALL "WHOPPERS." MARK WAS FISHING WITH CAPTAIN TATIN WHEN HE HOOKED UNTO SOMETHING "BIG." THE FISH RAN UNDER THE BOAT, BROKE HIS ROD, THEN BUSTED THE LINE. TALK ABOUT A RUSH OF EXCITEMENT! YOU GOTTA LOVE THE POWER OF THESE FISH!

BOTH RICHARD AND BRUCE WERE WANTING TO LAND A ROOSTERFISH WHILE FISHING IN PANAMA. WELL, THEY BOTH LANDED ROOSTERFISH WHILE FISHING WITH CAPTAIN LUCHO NEAR ISLA CANELES. ALONG WITH THE ROOSTERFISH THEY ADDED TO THEIR CATCH OF THE DAY; 5 WAHOO, 2 JACK CREVALLE, 1 AMBERJACK, 1 RAINBOW RUNNER AND A BIG SAILFISH. WELCOME BOYS TO "SUMMER TIME" FISHING WITH PESCA PANAMA!

ON JOHN AND MARK'S BEST DAY OF FISHING THEY LANDED; 3 ROOSTERFISH, 1 AMBERJACK, 2 BLUE RUNNERS, 3 BLUE JACKS, 1 POMPANO AND 7 JACK CREVALLE. AS YOU CAN SEE, OUR ANGLERS HAD A LOT OF ACTION THIS WEEK.

ON THE FIRST TWO DAYS OF THIS CHARTER WE HAD NICE WEATHER. LATER ON THE SEAS PICKED UP AND OUR ANGLERS CONCENTRATED ON FISHING THE CALMER WATER ON THE BACK SIDE OF COIBA ISLAND, CANALES ISLAND, RANCHERIA ISLAND AND "WAHOO ROCK." WE CAN ALWAYS FIND A SHELTERED AREA TO FISH AND THESE AREAS WERE PRODUCING GOOD CATCHES OF FISH.

THIS IS OUR LAST FISHING REPORT WE WILL BE POSTING ON THE WEB UNTIL LATE JULY. WE ARE GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME OFF FOR R AND R. IN THE MEANTIME YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ENJOY THE FISHING REPORTS FROM CAPTAIN TRAVIS PETERSON AS HE FISHES IN ALASKA THIS SUMMER.

THANKS TO ALL OF THE ANGLERS WHO HAVE FISHED WITH US THIS YEAR. PESCA PANAMA'S ANGLERS HAVE HAD ANOTHER GREAT YEAR OF FISHING! MOM ALWAYS SAID, "SON YOU ARE JUDGED BY THE COMPANY YOU KEEP." WELL, MOM, I KEEP COMPANY WITH A GREAT GROUP OF ANGLERS!

TIGHT LINES,
CAPTAIN JAY GUSTIN
