With our first rain of the new year and the water temps cooling we found some great inshore action. The Cubera were willing to eat jigs, rise on topwater, as well as eat live bait which can make for some great action. Two of the top Cubera were a 54 lb fish taken on jig and a 45 lb fish taken on topwater.

A hand full of big Tuna, the biggest Marlin of the season and some great inshore fishing filled the week with action at Pesca Panama. Fishing with Captain Bartolo this week seemed to be “guaranteed Tuna”!

The dry season has defiantly hit the Pacific coast of Panama with offshore winds and not a rain drop in over three weeks! With the weeks focus primarily offshore the crew spent most of the week plying the waters off of Montuosa, Hannible Bank and Jicaron Island! Although the offshore bite was far from being red hot the crew did manage to land some good fish!

November in Panama spells variety for visiting sport fisherman. With the tropical rainy season drawing to an end, the near coastal waters of the Pacific remain a "cool" 82 degrees providing a perfect habitat for both bait fish and predatory species. Fishing in relatively calm seas for the first two days of this 4 day fishing trip, this group found great action both near shore and offshore.
