Fish Panama - Where the Fishing is Easy!

Jump to Fishing Photos

Fishing in this area of Panama is unique; you have a variety of species at your doorstep. The main event is, of course, black and blue marlin. It is not unusual to have seven shots a day at marlin; one could experience more if you can keep the sailfish off your baits. The average marlin we catch is 300 - 400 lbs. We have caught many fish in the 800 lb. range and one at 1,200 lbs. The majority of the marlin is blacks and they are here year round. So stop dreaming about Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and come down to Panama.

Marlin are not the only species that deserves respect. On the marlin grounds there sailfish, dorado, wahoo, tuna, cubera snapper, mullet snapper, grouper, amberjack, African pompano, rainbow runner, and the list continues. It’s not unusual to catch tuna over 200 lbs, amberjacks over 100 lbs., dorado over 60 lbs., and big sails average 100 lbs.. So if the marlin bite is slow, you are not limited to one type of fishing. You can always have a bend in the rod.

Inshore fishing is not what one might think. The inshore waters merge with the offshore waters and you find wahoo, dorado, and sails mixed in with the roosterfish, jacks, snappers, and snook. One can regularly catch dorado and wahoo 30 feet offshore. You can snorkel with the dorado while looking for lobster to go with your snapper dinner. The world record snook also comes from this area.

So, if you are tired of the beatings you take getting to the ledge for a few dolphin on the east coast, or running forever to the towers in the gulf, come to Panama where the fishing is easy.

Captain Morgans Black and Blue Marlin Club is the brainchild of four fishing buddies. Our vision is to have a private community dedicated to the needs of only the most dedicated hardcore fishermen.

CMBBC is located in the village of Boca Chica in the province of Chiriqui on the western side of Panama bordering Costa Rica. Located within a short boat ride from some of the worlds best billfishing.
