October Colors...Black & yellowfin??

Third week of October ,

We have Allen and Larry from NJ & NY fishing 3 days and staying 7 days. They want to do some relaxing and sight seeing as well as fishing. They were worried a bit by not so comfortable weather, but besides a little rain, they got what they where hoping for.

3 Black Marlin between 300 to 400# ( unusually small for this time of the year ), nice triple on Big Big YFTs , all over 220lbs!!! One of them hit an OTI POpper and 2 on Live Bonitos. Everyone took a turn on these monsters, real team effort. It is great to see big YFTs in October. As I always say, the off season in Panama is the weather not the Fish. They also got into some nice Snowy Groupers caught on OTI Jigs and some Rainbow runners as well. Thanks to Captain Macho and Captain Sergio , enjoy the pics. Panama Sport Fishing Lodge

Who says all there is to do is fish??

Nice report and pics.

How deep of water and what kind of structure do you find the snowy groupers in? I jig alot in Southern Costa Rica, but have not encountered this species yet.

Thanks for the info - I figured as much with the bugged out eyes and heavy jigs in the pictures.

Some more questions, am I correct in assuming that you are launching out of an estuarial river mouth? Is there any way I can find out more information on the area you're at, town name, river name, nearest airport, etc. Is there much in the way of development going on in the area?

Any info is much appreciated.
