Panama Fishing Report December 2009

We had 8 groups this month with 10 Black and 1 Blue marlin released.
The big story was the almost daily double digit number of large Dorado
(dolphin). This is the time of the year for them but have never seen so
many 20lb plus fish here for such a long time. Also Mullet snapper has
been very good - with a lot of them caught on surface poppers. Cubera
snapper and Rooster fish has been good - yellow fin tuna have been spotty
but have caught some nice fish and they are starting to show up now.
Sailfish has been good also with many fish caught over 100lb. Wahoo has
been very disappointing - usually double digit per day this time of year
but have only caught a few. Capt. Lee

We have our own version of Big Foot now - Steve was walking with his
camera out one morning to get some photos of the Monkeys and ran across a
big black cat. Photo was very fuzzy but you could see by the tail that it
was not a dog. With so many Howler Monkeys and all the other wildlife here
on Boca Brava Island it would not have to work hard for a meal.

Jaguar sighting:

"On a fishing trip to the Panama Big Game Fishing Lodge-this is back
in the jungle with no roads, only river access. Like a 4-Star boy scout
camp for adults. Got up early to explore the surroundings and soon found
myself eyeball to eyeball with a very large black cat! He was about 30
meters away when he suddenly turned and slinked walked away down a narrow
trail; luckily I had my camera and whipped it up and got a hurried shot!
Back at the lodge the boys accused me of knocking back Jack Daniels for
breakfast! But I had proof-the owner had never seen a jaguar on the Island
before. Steve

Hi Lee,

My son and I had a great time fishing for three days at your lodge. The
accommodations were great, food was good and the staff were very nice. We
also enjoyed the other guest at the lodge. I will not forget the doctor
sewing up his wife's head in the lodge as we sat around eating chips and
drinking cold beverages??? As for the fishing, it is top notch. I have
fished all over the world and there are not many places that you hook into
two marlin and a salifish at once. We had six marlin on in one day and my
son landed a 500lb black, wow. The "smaller" fish were great too. catching
30-40lb dorado and 40-50lb roosterfish will keep you busy and real tired
at the end of the day. If I could change anything about our trip to
biggamepanama is that I would have stayed longer. We will be back and yes
for even a bigger marlin, they are out there. Thank you once again and
stay in touch. Bill and Will

Hi Lee,

We wanted to let you know that we haven't stopped talking about our stay
with you this past week. The fishing was great, your people were terrific,
and you were a most gracious and attentive host. Compared to other fishing
trips we've all experienced, this was at the top of the list. I will have
our expert photographers send their exciting pictures directly to you.
Again, thanks for everything and we look forward to returning possibly
next September if our schedules permit. Regards to all, Larry

Lee, Thanks – we had a great time, and nothing but praise for your crew. Charles

Thanks Lee for all fun we had fishing. The food was out of this world.
I though I had gained a few pounds, but due to the great food I lost 5
pounds. The boat crew were the best I have ever had. Peter
