yellow fin tuna

March ~ April 2010:
We had 12 groups and caught 14 marlin - 11 blacks and 3 blues with one blue around 800lb - this is about half the average Marlin catch for this time of year and had some slow fishing with hot water around the middle of March - but was less than a week - and cleared right out. The good news was the bait balls moving through. March and April are the months for them but this year was by far the most we have seen. When they are close to structure the snapper come up and are really a lot of fun. Tuna are chasing them so strong the tuna run half way up the boat. We use a dip net to boat the bait. There is a YouTube clip sent in by Jean in the report and also we filmed here last week with Trevor Gowdy and have excellent underwater action - with a large Blue Marlin chasing a 100lb Tuna up right under a Kayak - Trev had the tuna hooked up at the time - plus a lot more action so am looking forward to that show. Capt. Lee

Hey Lee, My dad and I had a awesome time last Friday at your place. You guys definitely went out of your way to take good care of us! The food was awesome and the beer was extra cold! I can't wait to come back in January or February to play tug-o-war with a marlin or 2. I'm going to build a 7' 6"' - 8' rod that can handle 80lb spectra (not easy to come by) with a Stella 20,000. My goal in the next 10 or so years of my life is to try to get a 100 - 200lb tuna on a popper! I'm sure that lots of chunking and chumming should be able to get them into casting distance when they are around. Even a 50lber would be great! The mate and captain that we fished with were top notch!!!! Looking forward to our next trip to Panama Big Game. Feel free to give out my e mail as a reference to any of your new clients, THANKS AGAIN!  You guys rock! Garrett

January ~ February 2010:
We had 16 groups this Jan-Feb with 14 black Marlin and 3 blue marlin caught-about half what the average should be for this time period. Had good catches on 100lb plus yellow fin tuna (9 over 200lb), Cubera snapper, mullet snapper, rooster fish, sailfish and still good on Dorado (dolphin). Second week in Feb we had 88 degree water with 2 really slow days then it cleared right out. Usually when we get bad water here it stays for awhile so was glad to see that clear out so soon. Also did not see any effect from the Chilean Tsunami - either with waves or any change in the fishing so feel very lucky for that. It is the first week in March as I write this - we have excellent fishing with large schools of sardines moving through now - March and April is the time they move through. Snappers are up in the boil and can be caught by ripping jigs through the school and on top water - really fun to catch snapper like that. Also had Sally doing some bird watching on the Island - she photographed 89 different species of birds and she has spent some time bird watching here in Central America so when she stated that 18 of the 89 species where the first time she has photographed them I was impressed with that. Capt. Lee

Lee,
I wanted to thank you for the great time at the Big Game Fishing Club. I will definitely be looking to come back as soon as I can get some time off of work! I know that my father will most likely be down there a lot sooner. Also, I wanted to reach out to the group from North Carolina that was out when we were. I lost the guys business card and was wondering if you had his name and contact information email or whatever as we were looking to get in touch when we got back to the states. Best Regards, Alexander

dorado

December 2009:
We had 8 groups this month with 10 Black and 1 Blue marlin released. The big story was the almost daily double digit number of large Dorado (dolphin). This is the time of the year for them but have never seen so many 20lb plus fish here for such a long time. Also Mullet snapper has been very good - with a lot of them caught on surface poppers. Cubera snapper and Rooster fish has been good - yellow fin tuna have been spotty but have caught some nice fish and they are starting to show up now.  Sailfish has been good also with many fish caught over 100lb. Wahoo has been very disappointing - usually double digit per day this time of year but have only caught a few.  Capt. Lee

We have our own version of Big Foot now - Steve was walking with his camera out one morning to get some photos of the Monkeys and ran across a big black cat. Photo was very fuzzy but you could see by the tail that it was not a dog. With so many Howler Monkeys and all the other wildlife here on Boca Brava Island it would not have to work hard for a meal.

Jaguar sighting:
"On a fishing trip to the Panama Big Game Fishing Lodge-this is back in the jungle with no roads, only river access. Like a 4-Star boy scout camp for adults. Got up early to explore the surroundings and soon found myself eyeball to eyeball with a very large black cat! He was about 30 meters away when he suddenly turned and slinked walked away down a narrow trail; luckily I had my camera and whipped it up and got a hurried shot! Back at the lodge the boys accused me of knocking back Jack Daniels for breakfast! But I had proof-the owner had never seen a jaguar on the Island before. Steve

November 2009:
November is always the start of the best Dorado (Dolphin) and Sailfish. Black Marlin are here all year and Blues run December through April. We had 4 groups this November and caught 6 Black Marlin. Dorado was as much as you could catch - double digit almost every day, wahoo good but not the double digit numbers we are used too, very good Snapper with a lot of large Cubera, spotty with Yellow fin tuna but we did get 3 fish around 100lb. The 200+ lb. tuna will be around soon. Did OK on Sails . Water is blue - has been no higher than 85 degrees and all looks good heading into December. Capt. Lee

     My 9th trip to fish with you or was it the 10th ? Regardless, it was always great to visit with you and enjoy the great food and fishing venue available at PBGF. With me on this trip was Joe Kimura, manager of Five Oceans Seven Seas, who specializes in custom rods, outriggers and lures. For Joe it was his first time anywhere outside of Hawaiian waters and what a first time it proved to be.

     After a four and a half hour fight on a huge black marlin the fish carried the day breaking off at the leader. I reckoned at the first jump the fish to be in the five hundred pound class, however, some photos I took of the fish just off the transom raised my estimate to seven hundred. Even accounting for water magnification the girth of the fish was spectacular. As Frank Mundus told me one time while fishing with him out of his home port of Montauk, NY on the old Cricket II, “when you lose a fish you have just lost a fish; when the fish loses he loses his life”.

     Try as we did the 16# IGFA line test record for Mullet Snapper remains in tact. Chombo and Narciso did a great job getting me on the fish off of Montuosa. My best effort was an 18 pound taking 40 minutes to get it to the gaff. I know they are there, but, just not lucky enough this time.

     Strangely absent this year was the yellow-fin tuna school as I had wanted Joe to enjoy taking them on surface poppers. Well, that’s fishing. See you next year for another shot at the Mullet. Howard   Click to view full report and photos

Panama Big Game Fishing Club Photos April 2009

April 2009:
We had four groups fishing this month. Most days where spent fishing inshore but still we caught 6 Black Marlin. So still very good action with Marlin. Good action with Rooster fish, Cubera Snapper, Mullet Snapper, Sailfish - was not as good with Yellowfin tuna. Usually this time of year is the best for Yellowfin tuna - including the 200lb. fish. They where around but where spotty - not like they should be. Water quality is very good - so are the temps, so all looks good heading into May. Capt. Lee

Hi Lee,
How I enjoyed our trip! You made it more special with my cake & champagne. My friends drool when I tell them of our tuna sashimi, fresh fish, homemade breads, frozen rum drinks waiting for us after a long day of fighting the big boys. Had the last 2 pieces of banana bread toasted with butter Tuesday morning. Yum! We were able to upgrade to business class which was so nice. Had a sandwich at the restaurant in the airport & all the servers had on masks...I think the flu issue is a bit overboard. So, my friend...we are slowly getting back to the grind but with a smile on our faces. We have stairs & every time we go down them we think of heading down to the boat! Life is good! Talk soon...Joyce
 

Hi Capt. Lee,
Mark and I just wanted to say thanks for the wonderful time fishing and the company while we were at Panama Big Game Fishing. You guys were the best at everything.  The food was spectacular and the fishing too. I don't know of anywhere else you can have a Rooster and 2 Black Marlins hooked by noon ( 3 if you count the bigger one that threw the hook). The crew was tireless in making sure we caught that elusive Rooster fish my husband was after and if it weren't for their knowledge, persistence and hard work I would have never landed my 1st bill fish, a 300# plus Black Marlin. I just cant say enough about your lodge and all the staff. You also were an absolute pleasure to meet. We cant wait to get back over and see y'all again. Tell all the guys Howdy from Texas and I miss y'alls sweet smiles, awesome food, fantastic fishing and the weather ain't bad either. I hope you liked the pics, I know video would have been cool but you know us rednecks and video cameras...lol..haha. Until next time y'all take care and...live well, laugh often and love much. Brenda & Mark D.  Click to view full report and photos


marlin

February - March 2009:

We had 15 groups fishing this Feb and March with 31 Marlin caught - 28 Blacks and 3 Blues. Only 3 groups did not catch at least 1 marlin and two had shots. So in both months only 1 group did not have at least a shot at a marlin. Tuna was also good - not what it usually is but still okay with 4 yellow fin caught over 200 lb but most fish between 20 and 100lb. Middle of February was a little slow with over all action but all groups caught at least 1 marlin. Snapper, rooster fish, amber jacks and sails finished out the catch. There is cold water south of us in Panama Bay and hot water just this side of the Costa Rica border so for the last 3 weeks the Marlin fishing around La Drones has been excellent. All conditions look very good here heading into April. Capt. Lee

Hi Lee,
Hats off to you and your staff at Panama Big Game Fishing Club. I must say that you run a first class operation from the moment we arrived in Panama City to the moment we left for home. The weather on our first day of fishing was kind of unseasonable, but we still managed to catch a sailfish and a black marlin. The next two days proved to be perfect conditions. I would say for 3 days fishing, taking a total of 3 Black Marlin, one estimated at over 500 lbs, 3 Sailfish, and numerous other snapper, etc. we had an excellent trip. I am planning our next trip in the very near future. We all decided that this needs to be an annual event. Again, Thanks to you, Rolando and staff, Tati, Jumbo, and Juan for all their hard work to make our experience a pleasurable one. Warmest Regards, Bill   Click to view full report and photos


marlinJanuary 2009:

We had 8 groups fishing this month with a total of 20 marlin. Highlight was having the two brothers - Chuck and Mike - hooking and landing a double - blacks around 300lb each - Anglers and crew did a good job with that - then having Len (father) landing a 500lb+ black later that day.

Sails where also here in good numbers with most fish over 100lb. Tuna where here in good numbers also - with fish up to 240lb. caught along with Snapper - both Mullet and Cubera (we release all Cubera). Rooster fish and Dorado where also in good numbers with allot of the action with poppers on spinning tackle.

November - December 2008:

We had 4 groups fishing this December and got 8 marlin - 3 Blues and 5 Blacks - 1 of the blacks at 600lb+. The last group fishing - April and Kenny got 6 Marlin - fishing 3 days for them. We also had excellent Dorado (Dolphin) - most fish over 20 lb., mullet snapper, rooster fish - with both being caught on surface poppers, cubera snapper, wahoo - but still not the double digit per day catches we are used to this time of year, sails - with most over 100lb., spotty yellow fin but they will start any day now, amber jacks, blue jacks, sierra mackerel rounding things out. Water conditions along the 3000ft. drop off and the 600ft platform have been...Click to view full report and photos


marlinOctober 2008:

We had 4 groups fishing and got 3 black Marlin and 1 blue Marlin. Inshore fishing was very good with good numbers of Cubera snapper, Mullet snapper, rooster fish, sierra mackerel, jacks - with allot of the action on surface poppers. Wahoo was good - not like it should be this time of year - but a couple of them almost every day and we had large numbers of Dorado (dolphin) with most fish over 20lb. Spotty on Yellow fin tuna but caught 1 over 200lb - for this time of year having one that size is not common - but last two weeks have not had any yellowfin around. Capt. Lee

Hi Lee
I am having some trouble with the photos. As you know my camera was bad. Hope these few will work for you. I can’t thank you enough for all that you and your crew does for us clients. Chong and I have been on many Safaris and have never had any better or come close to your package. I learned so much is such a short while and had fun fishing. I was so impressed with your people and the way you keep the place so clean, and the food was above and beyond. I hope to see you again next year.

yellowfin tunaAugust - September 2008:

Fishing started off the first of August on the slow side - some tuna action offshore but picked up after that = both inshore and offshore. A little slow on wahoo - not the double digit per day numbers we are used to for this time of year and spotty with rooster but some real quality fish caught.  Very good snapper - cubera, mullet, yellow, dorado, and with 3 - 200lbs. plus yellowfin tuna.  Caught, blue jacks, 2 Black Marlin,1 Blue Marlin (with 80% of the fishing inshore), sailfish, seirra mackerel, amberjack rounding things out. We release all billfish, Cubera snapper, Rooster fish and have just started releasing all female dorado.  Capt. Lee

Hi Lee:
Thanks again for another great trip to Panama Big Game. My son, nephew, and I had a ball. We knew it was the off season, but the inshore fishing was fantastic. The 2 days we fished at the Secas, we caught 3 roosters to 50lb., and 22 dorado, but the smallest was 30lb, especially the 55lb bull my son caught on a topwater popper, plus a number of other types of jacks casting to the rocks. Out on Montosa we caught a nice wahoo, and 1 nice tuna, but it was in the afternoon when we would start dropping down baits that all hell would break loose. We caught a 50lb. cubera, the largest blue trevally I have ever seen. We then located a large school of mullet snapper, and started catching one after another. After a boat load of different types of snappers, and completely out of bait and totally exhausted, it was time to head back to the lodge. Panama Big Game Club never ceases to amaze me for its tremendous amout of variety and diversity of fishing. It was my fifth trip there and I guarantee not my last. Tell all the guys at the lodge Hello, and thanks for making it a trip my son and nephew will never forget. Yours truly, Mike Love

wahooJuly 2008:  The end of April and May we had terrible water here - never have seen that in the 7 years we have been fishing in Panama.  Usually the tuna fishing is all you want with good Marlin and great inshore action but had no action off shore and some action inshore.  It cleared out the middle of June and July was good.   We had large numbers of Dorado (dolphin), most over 20 lbs. or better that we usually do not have this time of year along with yellow fin tuna up to 200 lbs.  The inshore with Rooster fish, Mullet snapper (allot of them on top water), cubera snapper, and blue Jacks was very good.  With 4 groups fishing we only got 2 marlin - both Blacks-which is low.  Normally in July, August and Sept. we average at least two marlin per group. Also we caught a few Wahoo but this time of year we should be catching double digit wahoo every day, if spending time to catch them.  We are also seeing Humpback Whales almost every day out.  Capt. Lee

March / April 2008:  Fishing this month was very good - added 24 marlin to the total for the year-bringing the total to 76: 61 blacks, 14 blues, and 1 stripped marlin. Would have had more but 5 groups where just fishing tuna and inshore. Large dorado, yellow fin tuna where is good numbers along with inshore action - cubera snapper, rooster fish, blue travale, wahoo, etc. and some sailfish off shore also. The only slow period was a few days in the second week in April - but got 2 black marlin. Starting April 24 we had an algae bloom - have never seen one like this before - that shut down all off shore action - but still had OK inshore action. It should clear out in a few more days and everything should get back to normal.  Capt. Lee Campbell

sailfishPanama means "the place of abundant fish” - but it is so much more, as you will discover in this travelogue. Forget the negative legacy of volcano-face Manual Noriega and get to know the positive aspects of Panama – an amazing country with something for everyone. Journey with us as we explore a cross section of Panama from the steamy lowlands of the Pacific coast near David to the refreshing coolness of the highlands in Boquete.  Panama is inspirational. I discovered this in 2005 when my sister Melissa and I fished the Gulf of Montijo on the Azuero Peninsula for five remarkable days. Now I returned with my stepson, Nate, for three days of coastal fishing with the Panama Gig Game Fishing Club. My wife, Johanna, was stateside fulfilling some commitments and would be joining us after we were finished fishing. Which you should know never happens. Our twelve-day trip was divided into visits to both Pacific coastal and Cordillera Central portions of the Chiriqui Province. The first six days were split between Isla Boca Brava and Isla Boca Chica on the Pacific Ocean’s Gulf of Chiriqui, home to the Chiriqui National Marine Park. Next we traveled to Boquete in the Chiriqui Highlands, twenty-four miles north of the Pacific for another 6 days.  Within the territorial area of Panama there are more than 1,600 islands, over 500 rivers run through the country, more than half of Panama is still forested, there are two oceans separated by 50 miles with more species of birds, butterflies and fish imaginable - and it never gets cold. If these facts interest you, also consider a country the size of North Carolina, with one-third the population, possessing boundless beauty and you’ll begin to see why Panama is the crown jewel of Central America.  Click to view travelogue and photos


marlinFebruary 2008:  Marlin fishing stayed good with eight groups catching 19 marlin - 16 blacks, two blues and one striped marlin - not many stripes here.

Yellow fin here in good numbers but fish up to 100lb – a lot of fun on surface poppers. We should be seeing the 200lb plus tuna here any day - this is the time of year for them.

We also had large dolphin in good numbers and decent catches of wahoo - both better than normal -also mullet snapper, cubera snapper, amber jack, rooster fish, sailfish and blue jacks rounded things out.

Water has been blue, in the low 80s so all looks good heading into March. Also the sharks that we where catching last month that are not normally here I think are salmon sharks - included a picture of one on this report. Capt. Lee  Click For Full Report & More Photos
 


marlin fishing panama

January 2008:  Marlin fishing this month has been the best anyone has seen. Through Jan. 27th, with still 4 fishing days left -we fished 8 groups and have caught 30 marlin so far.  Also a lot of large dolphin, mullet snapper, cubera snapper, sailfish and have caught 17 tuna over 100 lb. with the biggest at 240lb. We also had a lot of sharks here for two weeks. I am waiting to get a photo back from Trevor Gowdy - he was filming here and caught a 12 footer around 600lb. Most were around 150lb - captains called them Needle sharks - look a lot like a Mako but are brown - not blue. So am interested to get them identified. Never have caught them here before and last 5 days have not caught another one. Also had a big blow the first week - could not fish for two days but it laid right down after that. Captain Lee Campbell

Lee, It was truly a great experience to fish with you and your crews, I look forward to a return trip. I take the XXL in a T shirt and will wear it with pride knowing that I have fished with one of the great Panamanian big game fishing camps, so thank you again for a great experience. Very Truly Yours, Steven R. Rothenberger

sailfishNovember - December 2007:  Fishing last two weeks in November had good inshore action - large cubera snapper - rooster fish and except for two slow days good off shore.  Lots of yellow fin tuna, wahoo, larger dolphin and three black marlin.  Weather was more rainy than usual but no problem for fishing. I Do not book trips in October - worst month here for weather.

December was the same-only better and with sailfish starting to turn up - multiple strikes common - two blue marlin and four black marlin.  Also large yellow fin -over 100 lb. are here already.  We have schools of smaller yellow fin all year but the big ones start showing up in January with March and April the best months for large yellow fin and May the best month for the shear numbers of yellow fin.  Last time they showed up early - first week in January - it was a big year here for large tuna so off to a good start for them.

marlinSeptember 2007:  I was lucky enough to spend four days on the water at Panama Big Game this September taking pictures for New Jersey boys Ron Torkas and Joe Ozalas. Wahoo to 50 lbs. were everywhere. I lost count early on. Small yellow fin tuna were hitting on top water—exciting action! Lots of small dorado, yellow snapper, blue jack, bonito, and rainbow runners kept the boys busy with too many jack and houndfish to keep track of. Oh yeah, we ran into a couple of Marlin too.
    
We fished four full days with Captain Tati and mate Eddie in a 31' Bertram. Most of the time we fished near pinnacles in the area of Montuosa but also visited Islas Secas for roosterfish and Los Ladrones for snapper. Poor Ron and Joe hardly had time to fish for Marlin with all the wahoo action. "No more wahoo!" was the final decision. This cleared the decks for serious marlin battles. Early on day three, we arrived at Montuosa, quickly landed five bonito for bait and dropped them over with a couple of live blue runners for variety. Joe hooked up with a marlin almost immediately, fought for about 45 minutes and released a black weighing in the 350 lbs. neighborhood. We had barely recovered when Ron hooked another black. After about a half hour fighting the marlin in the pouring rain, Ron released his black, also running about 350 lbs. We spent the rest of the day bottom bumping for huge snapper and casting surface plugs for tuna. Not bad for the off-season. Check out the picture of Ron with his Rooster...Click For Full Article


Again July and August are two of the best months to fish here. We only had 2 groups this year though. Always a pleasure to have Howard Chong with us - fished 3 days in July - his fifth time here. Had a very good day inshore with wahoo, jacks, sierra mackerel and rooster fish - action all day. Next two days fishing offshore the highlight was a black marlin each day with nice catches of wahoo, yellow fin tuna caught on spinning with surface poppers, cubera snapper and dolphin.Next group was the Everett family-always enjoy family groups the best... Captain Lee Campbell...Here I am back in the water taxi from Pedregal Marina to Isla Boca Brava, home of the Panama Big Game Fishing Club. This will be my fifth time there and during the one hour boat ride out to the island I anticipate seeing the head honcho and my buddy, Capt. Lee Campbell and the crew that makes up this outfit. I can taste the first Pina Colada already...Now – the reason I go there – Marlin. I picked up one each of the two days out there in the 350# class on live bait. No backing down on these babies for me. It’s strictly “mano-a-mano” on 80# test so you can expect to be in the chair around 45 minutes per fish. ...Aloha, Howard Chong, Jr. Honolulu, Hawaii   Click For Full Article


One of the translations for the word Panama is variety. Whoever originated this translation must certainly have been a fisherman. After broad experiences in Central and South America, it must be said that for variety, Panama ranks among the best that the hemisphere has to offer.  This was my third trip to the Panama Big Game Fishing Club, and sixth overall to the country... So if you are interested in one of the most interesting places available for variety big game fishing, then consider the Panama Big Game Fishing Club. It is run by professional fishermen and is staffed by some of the friendliest people imaginable. It's the place to be. El Capitan Mike Love  Click For Full Article


yellow fin tunaMay - June 2007 Tuna fishing with surface poppers was all you wanted but smaller fish running from 10 to 80 lb. The first week in May we got some tuna over 100 lbs. and a few over 200 lbs. Black Marlin still good with 4 out of 5 groups catching a black. Fair wahoo action but they will pick up with August being the first real strong month for them. Had a few sails and some smaller dorado (dolphin) also. Inshore action was very good with snapper, rooster fish, sierra mackerel, blue jack and amber jack in good numbers. Capt. Lee Campbell...There is something about tracking fish by sight that activates the adrenalin flow like nothing else. We had hot and cold moments on the trip but the image of two and three hundred pound yellow fin tuna hurling themselves airborne, intent on murder or adultery upon anything in their path…baby it’s just too much...

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...Click Here To View Fishing Report And More Photos


Yellow fin tuna March 2007 - We started off with a group coming to us from Germany: blue marlin, black marlin, sailfish, yellow fin tuna, 1 over 250 lbs., cuberra snapper, rock snapper, yellow snapper, mullet snapper, wahoo, amber jack and dorado - was about as good as it can get....

Hello Lee,  We all thank you for the first class service we enjoyed, the very-very-very good food and the excellent drinks and the great fishing. It was wonderful ! I never caught so many big-game fishes before and the 250 pound yellow fin tuna on last Friday was a fantastic closing...

Fishing report photos 2 sailfishFebruary 2007 - The first three weeks were not as strong as January, water temperature was up to 87  but we got plenty of sailfish, mullet snapper, cubera snapper, dorado and 4 out of 5 groups got marlins. 5 blacks total but had to work hard for all. The last week really got going with the water temperature back to 84. Yellow fin tuna were in with a lot of smaller fish but got two over 200 lbs. Sailfish still good and the last group added 1 blue marlin plus concentrated on catching inshore for 2 days and had good catches of mullet snapper, cubera snapper, all kind of jacks and double digit sierra mackerel. So all looks good heading into March. - Captain Lee Campbell
