Below are some pictures of some of the best catch of the 2015/16 season that started in November and just ended. I hope you will enjoy seeing them. The Panafishing lodge operates in the heart of the Tuna Coast of Panama, a non-famed area that sits between the well known Gulf of Chiriqui and Pinas Bay. We've had a very good year and found out that fears about El Nino affecting the fishing in Central America's Pacific coast were not justified.

All -but 3- of the fish below have been caught on artificials using spinning gear, and the vast majority has been released as we try hard not to destroy what we came to enjoy. Catering to dedicated popping and jigging enthusiasts has always been the object of the lodge, which is very niche in the fact that we fish lures 99% of the time. While there is nothing wrong with trolling and live-baiting, it’s simply not our thing and we wanted to offer a place for like-minded anglers to reach a climax. To us, there is nothing more exciting and rewarding than working a lure, seeing the fish chasing and striking it, and reaping the reward. It’s not all about catching, it’s about fishing ! We never intended to satisfy all fishermen and instead aimed at creating the best possible operation for the active anglers that share our passion for catching fish on artificials using spinning gear. From day one everything was geared toward that goal, from the boats to the selected fishing grounds. There are better places for billfish and pelagics, which we don’t target, but for the species we are after and the kind of fishing we promote, our untapped area couldn’t be more appropriate.


I am bound to start this thread with the pictures of the biggest roosters of the 2015/16 season. Roosterfish consistently is the number one target of our guests and it is no wonder why it’s been chosen for our logo. It has everything a highly prized gamefish wants: it’s one of a kind and beautiful, it strikes hard and fights strong, it gets big, it's not easy to find nor catch, and, very important for us, it takes a wide variety of artificials.

Although we don’t mind catching one when speed-jigging, topwater is the way to go for those beauties. There is nothing in fishing that turns me on more than seeing a hord of rooster fish chasing my popper, all combs raised out of the water. You better do the right thing when that happens to you, because roosters are no fools and, if you make the wrong move, your adrenaline rush is guaranteed to turn into frustration. A roosterfish that has turned away on a lure will almost never try again. This is no easy fish and in fact, even when they are hooked, they are experts at getting rid of the hook. When you add this to the fact that it can be a very elusive fish, and you have the perfect recipe for one of the most rewarding -and frustrating- fish around. This is why any big rooster caught on artificial is a real trophy and a memory the angler will cherish forever.
The fight itself is as stunning as the look of the fish suggests. It is full of speedy, long runs, change of directions and other surprises. As far as stamina is concerned, it is one of the only fish in the world that don't have to blush when compared to tuna, but the fight of the rooster is actually a lot more entertaining, so overall the best fight in my opinion.

Year after year, our very own fishing grounds prove to hold the biggest specimens in the world, and, because they remain free of fishing pressure, to be the best place in the world to target the specie on lures. Anglers from all over the world keep coming back to the Panfishing lodge to try again for the big one that got away, or to try to improve their personal best. A very addictive gamefish, that can alter your sanity and become quite obsessive, as these 3 anglers, who have been returning to the lodge every year since it opened in 2007, can confirm… Roosterfish got under their skins !

The (close) second most regarded coastal specie is the notorious cubera snapper. This is a mean fish and while the roosterfish offers a rather fair fight, the cubera fights dirty. From the first second it will aim for the closest structure and pull steady and strong, often leaving the unprepared angler in shock after it breaks the line on the rocks after only a few seconds of mayhem. The ultimate challenge on spinning gear and because the vast majority of cuberas over 40 pounds manage to win their freedom, very few anglers can brag about having a picture of themselves like the ones below. Unless you are very lucky, there is only one way to win a fight against a cubera: the tightest drag your system can afford, and full pressure since the beginning. It often takes everything you have to stop that first run, and sometimes it's not enough. While it is nice to enjoy the fight of a rooster and let it run, the cubera requires a very different mindset and a very macho approach. Both those fish will put the angler’s skills to the test, but for very different reasons.

Also in their own category are the almaco jack and amberjack. The « reef donkeys » need no introduction and is probably less exotic for many, but they have the advantage of being plentiful and a very good fight. Again, this is a specie whose biggest members will more often than not win the battle. Those fish love a speed-jig, and having your rod pulled out of your hands by one is a feeling that will put you in love with speed-jigging forever. We’ve boated countless mid-sized almaco and amberjacks this season but very few of the really big ones made it to the boat.

Most of our guests come for the best inshore fishing in Panama so very little do we target tuna. But still, we are situated on the Tuna Coast so this year one group decided to come in peak tuna season and try for a few back-breakers. All of the following pictures come from this single week of targeting tunas (actually just a couple days for each boat), so yes, although we specialize in popping and jigging for the coastal species, if one wanted to mix in some proper tuna fishing, that can be done from June to November. Tunas are all over the place in season, sometimes as close as a couple milles out. They will blast a topwater lure with no hesitation and display agressive behaviour and impressive strikes, and it's a hunt that does not involve blind casting all day, so they are a very good target for newbies in the popping game, who may want to consider tuna season over any other.

Next is a serie of double headers, which always make for a good picture of lit up fish before the release, and posting these also allow me to illustrate 2 of the best features of the « inshore » fishing we specialize in: VARIETY and ACTION.

The most common double (or triple) hookups in our area are from pairs of jacks, silk snappers, amberjacks or yellowfin tuna, but it is common to get a mix of species or some more exotic doubles.

Next is a mixed bag of the variety that makes fishing the Tuna Coast on light tackle so fun and interesting. From beautiful bluefin trevally on topwater to bad-tempered broomtail groupers on the jigs, there’s always something new and exciting to be expected, and that’s one of the most exciting thing about fishing here.

Bonjour,

desole, effectivement je n'ai pas pris le temps de faire une version Francaise ou une note explicative et j'ai poste "tel quel".

C'est simplement une comm (un synonyme plus acceptable de pub) de fin de saison avec les belles photos de la saison qui vient de se terminer.

Pour ce qui est des compte-rendus reguliers, j'en faisais sur les forums (ici et sur ETF) pour chaque groupe, que la peche soit bonne ou moins bonne, mais j'ai arrete apres des reflexions type "trop de pub tue la pub" et autres. Je pensais pourtant que c'etait une maniere transparente de presenter les resultats de peche du lodge, afin que chacun puisse se faire une idee et sache a quoi s'attendre en cas de bonne ou de mauvaise semaine - ce qu'a ma connaissance tres peu (aucun ?) centre de peche ne fait et qui me semble dommage: cela pourrait eviter des deconvenues ou au moins mettre les espoirs a la hauteur de la realite. Cela permet aussi de definir la saison la mieux adaptee selon les attentes et objectifs. Mais bon encore une fois j'ai arrete pour ne pas saouler certains et eviter toute polemique.

Ces compte-rendus pour chaque groupe continuent toutefois d'etre postes sur le site web.

Aussi, si je me permet aujourd'hui de poster ce best-of de fin de saison, c'est je pense que les forums sont une tres bonne maniere de communiquer, car on peut mettre bcp d'infos et de photos, et aussi engager une discussion/interaction, sans debourser un centime. Je sais que certains considerent qu'un forum n'est pas fait pour faire de la pub, mais au final il faut aussi comprendre que toute communication/pub payante (ie dans les magazines) a un cout qui retombe necessairement sur les clients de l'organisation. L'interet du client potentiel est donc plutot du cote de la pub gratuite. Quand on voit le budget pub de certaines organisations americaines qui peut atteindre 30% du budget, on comprend mieux les prix affiches. Perso j'essaye de faire en sorte que les pecheurs ne payent pas pour ma pub, et (attention: la phrase qui arrive est une pub) cela me permet de rester le moins cher au Panama. Vu sous cet angle, j'espere que mes comms seront mieux acceptees et comprises.

En esperant que vous appreciez quand meme les photos. Le texte n'a pas grand interet et est plutot destine aux Americains a qui il faut expliquer un peu ce que l'on fait car la majorite a une vision de la peche tres eloignee de la notre.

Merci,


Pierre-Andre

Appelons ça comme on veut Pierre-André on s’en fout, Pascal Artieda ancien propriétaire du lodge a trouvé en toi et en ta douce de dignes remplaçants qui ont le mérite d’avoir gardé une équipe de skipper au top qui connaissent la zone comme leurs poches, c’est ce qui compte, le reste !!!!! :wink:

Salut pademauge, je suis un de ceux qui ont apprécié et je t'ai parfois remercié pour tes crs. Je pense que ton approche etait exemplaire niveau comm avec les crs de TOUS tes clients. Et je trouve bien dommage que certains ne puissent pas regarder sans se permettre de commentaire.

Pour ce qui est du post ci dessus par contre fallait déchiffrer ton approche :mrgreen:

Maintenant que je sais que tu postes sur ton site j'irai voir.

Au plaisir de te lire.

Merci pour ces photos et ces explications.

Pour éviter toutes polémiques il faudrait créer un espace dédié à cette communication.
Ça nous permettrait de profiter et de se donner un avis plus juste sur les différentes organisations et leurs guides.
