Fishing Report - 11/19/05

GREETINGS FROM THE TROPICS,

PESCA PANAMA WELCOMED AN INTERNATIONAL GROUP OF ANGLERS THIS WEEK: FROM COPENHAGEN, DENMARK WERE ANGLERS MIKKEL GULDBAEK, HANS TREUTH AND ALLAN ZEUTHEN; FROM GLASGOW, SCOTLAND WAS RAB ANDERSON; FROM THE U.S. WERE DEREK FLOYD, THE OWNER AND OPERATOR, OF REEL CLASS CHARTERS IN SITKA, ALASKA; AND TODD WECK, THE OWNER AND OPERATOR, OF ROGUE CANYON OUTFITTERS IN EUGENE, OREGON.

THE ANGLERS FROM DENMARK HAVE FISHED IN MANY DIFFERENT LOCATIONS INCLUDING; ASCENSION ISLAND, THAILAND AND AFRICA. THEY DECIDED TO FISH WITH PESCA PANAMA BECAUSE OF THE VARIETY OF FISH THAT CAN BE CAUGHT USING TOP-WATER TACKLE. THEY SHOWED UP READY TO DO BATTLE WITH SOME OF THE BEST TACKLE AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET TODAY; INCLUDING SHIMANO'S STELLA AND TRINIDAD REELS. THEY ARRIVED WITH BOXES OF LURES READY TO TRY SOME TECHNIQUES THEY HAVE LEARNED THROUGH THEIR TRAVELS. THE CONCLUSION AT THE END OF THE WEEK WAS; THE YO-ZURI GT BULL IS HARD TO BEAT IN THE COIBA ISLAND REGION. THE DUTCHMEN GOT TO WITNESS WIDE OPEN BITES ON SNAPPER, WAHOO, AND AMBERJACK AT MONTOUSA ISLAND AS WELL AS WORLD CLASS ROOSTERFISH IN SECAS ISLAND. THE DUTCHMEN ALL CAME TO CONCLUDE THAT OF ALL THE DIFFERENT SPECIES OF FISH THEY CAUGHT HERE AS WELL AS AROUND THE WORLD; THAT POUND FOR POUND, THE AMBERJACK IS HARD TO BEAT. THANK YOU GUYS FOR COMING AND VISITING US FROM THE LAND UP NORTH AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR RETURN TRIP IN MAY.

TEAM MACHO WAS JOINED BY RAB ANDERSON FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. RAB HAS RECENTLY RETIRED TO PANAMA AND CAME OUT TO RELAX IN THE ISLANDS AS WELL AS GET A LITTLE FISHING IN. ON THE FIRST AFTERNOON WITH MACHO, RAB ENJOYED A SENSATIONAL WAHOO BITE AT SECAS ISLAND. ON THE SECOND MORNING THEY WENT LOOKING FOR SOME VARIETY AND ENDED UP LANDING JACK CREVALLES, BLUE TREVALLY, AMBERJACK, DORADO, AND A ROOSTERFISH ON TOPWATER THAT CAME IN AT 40 POUNDS.

TEAM PONCHERA SPENT A MAJORITY OF THE WEEK FISHING AROUND COIBA ISLAND. ARTIFICIALS WAS THE NAME OF THE GAME THIS WEEK. CASTING POPPERS, DROPPING JIGS, AND FLINGING THE FLY AROUND THE INSHORE ROCKS OCCUPIED MANY OF THE DAYLIGHT HOURS THIS WEEK. DESPITE THE WAVES, WIND, AND RAIN; THE FISH WERE HUNGRY AND WILLING TO BITE. AS WAS SEEN IN SECAS, CONTRARES, AND MOUNTOSA; COIBA ISLAND WAS TURNED ON. DRIFTING OVER THE TOP OF OFFSHORE REEF SYSTEMS, TEAM PONCHERA WITNESSED SICK BITES COMBINATION FISHING WITH JIGS AND POPPERS. THE CUBERAS AND JACKS CAME RUSHING TO THE SURFACE ATTACKING TOPWATER LURES AND THE AMBERJACKS, CUBERA, AND GROUPER READY INHALED OUR JIGS WHEN WE DROPPED THEM ON THEIR FRONT PORCH. CALL DARYL WAISANO, WE NEED MORE SUMO JIGS!!! ON DAY FOUR, WHEN THE WEATHER TURNED FOR WORSE, WE DECIDED TO DO SOME R&D ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE ISLAND. LETS JUST SAY, THE RESULTS WERE AMAZING AND WE WILL BE BACK. WHAT WE ONCE THOUGH WAS AN AREA VOID OF LIFE FOR THE MOST PART, MAY HAVE MORE GOING ON THEN WE COULD HAVE EVER EXPECTED. ONCE AGAIN THE COIBA ISLAND REGION NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE.

IT WAS ANOTHER GREAT WEEK GUYS! ONCE AGAIN WE HAD THE CHANCE TO ENJOY THE UNBELIEVABLE ‚ "MIXED BAG‚" FISHING THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER HAS TO OFFER AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL AGAIN!

FISH TIPS:
MANY OF OUR ANGLERS LIKE TO FISH WITH THEIR OWN TACKLE AS THEY ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS EQUIPMENT AND KNOW THAT IT WORKS. PESCA PANAMA TAKES PRIDE IN PROVIDING TOP QUALITY FISHING TACKLE FOR THEIR CLIENTS, BUT IF YOU WANT TO BRING YOUR OWN TACKLE YOU NEED TO BRING TACKLE THAT WILL WORK HERE. WE FIND THE MAJORITY OF OUR ANGLERS BRING TOO LIGHT OF SPINNING TACKLE FOR THE CUBERA SNAPPERS, ROOSTERFISH AND THE SMALLER YELLOWFIN TUNA. FOR THIS FISHERY YOU WILL NEED RODS RATED 20 TO 50 LBS, MEDIUM TO LARGE SPINNING REELS AND 65 OR 80 LB SPECTA LINE. IT IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO SHOW YOUR FISHING TACKLE TO YOUR CAPTAIN AND ASK HIM TO MAKE SOME HELPFUL SUGGESTION THAT WILL ENABLE YOU TO CATCH MORE FISH.

Good fishing
