Typical November fishing here on the Tuna Coast of Panama. As always this time of the year, a great variety of fish was swimming around and biting jigs and poppers. As fishing always is, it's been up and down throughout the month, with some groups having better luck than others. Some got some 300+ fish to the boat over 6 days of fishing, others got a lot less action, but it was nice to see that sizeable and prized gamefish was a staple, with every group having some shots at roosterfish and cuberas. But these are always a challenge and in the end, for every good fish to the boat this month, we lost another 3 or 4. Now you are experienced, so no more excuses on the next trip, guys !
Among the losses were 2 goliath groupers on jigs, one tarpon on popper, one sailfish, also on popper, one really big inshore dorado, and as always, numerous big roosterfish and cuberas and a few unstoppable amberjacks. Well, this is no easy game and it's the one you lose that makes you come back !
Towards the end of the month we had hurricane Otto messing around just north of Panama. This was very unlucky for our guests which had 6 full days of rather strong wind. This is very unusual, to my knowledge it is the first time that a hurricane affect our area like it did. It seriously limited the options, with about only 20% of the spots that were fishable, but it made us realize how unvaluable it is to have 2 coasts facing opposite directions to chose from. The south was pretty much unfishable but the coast facing north was manageable. Not ideal for sure but certainly a lot better than staying around the pool all day long.
Next report will be in february !
