Panama fishing Report April 2007
Panama Big Game Fishing Club Isla Boca Brava Chiriqui
Republic of Panama

We had very good inshore fishing all month, rooster fish, cubera
snapper, mullet snapper, amber jack, broom tail grouper, blue jack and
wahoo. The off shore was a little slow the first of the month but yellow
fin tuna and marlin came on strong. Allot of yellow fin tuna over 200 lb.
with 5 yellow fin between 125lb. and 250lb. caught on surface poppers with
spinning tackle. Black Marlin -1 at 800lb. and Blue Marlin - with 4
in one day - came on strong the last half of the month. We have blue
marlin, black marlin and yellow fin tuna over 200lb. - caught on spinning
tackle including the strike-on film. Trevor Gowdy was filming here the
last week - targeting large yellow fin on spinning tackle and marlin - and
also had a pretty good day fishing the river just a short distance from
our Resort with the highlight a 45 lb. Corvina. As usual April was one of
the best fishing months - start of wahoo, strong Black and Blue
Marlin with yellow fin tuna being the highlight - always the best month
for yellow fin over 200lb.
Captain Lee Campbell - Panama Big Game Fishing Club
Lee,
I want to thank both you and your staff for a wonderful fishing trip. You
operate a first class lodge. Everything was great from the time I stepped
off the plane in Panama City and met by your representative, to the time I
stepped back on the plane at the end of the week. The food was excellent,
even though there was too much to eat. The open bar was a pleasant treat.
It was all the little details that you and your staff pay attention too
that made the trip so enjoyable. I would also like to compliment you on
your selective harvest program that you encourage to your guests as well
as your staff. I've always been in favor of keeping a couple of fish to
bring home to eat, and releasing the rest so that they can be caught again
in the future either by me or a guest. Enclosed are some pictures of only
some of the fish I caught. I look forward to coming down and fishing again
next year. I hope that my brother will be able to join me. Thanks again,
Larry Little
Lee, Thanks so much for the kind hospitality and the great fishing! An
experience I will never forget. All the best, Evan
