First time inshore/offshore fishing in Panama – beautiful Red Snappers and Yellowfin’s, along with a couple Barracuda and Sierras made for a great day.

Was lucky to have a family friend invite us to stay in Buenaventura, and fish out of Riviera Pacifica el Chirú, near Rio Hato, Panama.

Unfortunately, (unfortunately is being used very loosely!), we were about a month off bill fish season in our area – although I had one absolutely massive marlin join in the yellowfin chase, thought one looked tasty that I happened to already have on… and immediately snapped the line for an easy snack. He at least gave us a spectacular show by fully breaching the water whilst stealing my fish and showing who’s the real boss – no hard feelings were had!
