The fishing season started again in Pedasi ! It is still the peak of the rainy season in Panama but the Danish brought the sun with them: we've had very little rain and many perfect sunny days.
Many amberjacks were caught speed jigging, a relatively new technique for most. As always, the biggest one got away, this time by straightening the hook.
I am so glad to see some fish again I will post a lot of pictures that show some of the variety that can be found here. Here is Anders with a rainbow runner and Kenneth with a dorado.

Here is Hendrick displaying a broomtail grouper and Kenneth with a mullet snapper.

Tobias got a real hefty grouper on jig. Congratulations for that one !
We will see more and more Pacific jack crevalle like the one Finn is holding as the dry season settles. The sierra mackerel is also a staple and is a great fish for carpaccio.

A few sharks were caught (and lost) this week. Anders got into a good fight. The results: a broken road and a nice shark aboard.

Next is Jesper with what everybody hopes to catch when they come here: a cubera snapper. There has been a few opportunities but only this one was boated. Bravo Jesper !
The cubera is not the only interesting snapper that can be found here. Below are 2 very nice catches: the silk snapper and the mullet snapper. The first one will hit a jig while the second one blast poppers.

Silk snappers are excellent table fare. We release most of them but this time we decided to keep 2 for dinner.
Another interesting jack species is the big eye trevally. Not so interesting but inevitable is the pacific needlefish that can grow quite long.

Tunas were not in a feeding mood, which is kind of strange at that season. Nevertheless, Tobias got a nice one that made his day.
Ronnie got himself a bluefin trevally. What a beautiful fish !
Frands lost a nice roosterfish on the first day so everyone was happy that he could get his revenge later on.
Finally, here is another sizeable mullet snapper for Kenneth, a nice jack for Frands, and Tobias with some skipjack tunas and yet another amberjack.

The Danish were hungry for fish and I think they got their share. Clemence has been pretty busy all week at the cleaning table. Meanwhile, the boys got to relax in the pool.
We would like to thank each and all of you for being such lovely guests. It's been a pleasure to have you !
