August in Panama !

Starting out well this month with a bang! We have Juan Manuel , that flew all the way from Madrid , Spain to fish at Panama Sportfishing Lodge with Macho and Sergio for 9 days!!!!

I guess you can call him a die hard fisherman , his first 2 days was late action in Hannibal Banks and Isla Montuosa , on Jigging , Popping and Live bait.

He got some nice YFTs between 70# to 130#, a few Snappers and all the pesky Jacks that was tearing up the jigs. Even Capt. Macho could not resist dropping an OTI jig , here are a few pics for the first 2 days of fishing , enjoy !

John, Good to see you here!!
I have one guy on our late January trip who is coming just for the stuff!! He does not care about fishing.He actually might stay at the "Veneto" the whole week.

The reason I ask is that I spend quite a bit of time in Panama on the east coast. We mainly catch Snapper and Wahoo over there.

What is the English name for the first snapper in the pics?...I've caught one here in Costa Rica...the captains called it a "Guakamayo" (gwak-u-my-o). Pretty fish, tasty too.
