For sports enthusiasts looking for an exciting challenge, it’s a tale of trial and error, achievement and sheer excitement that continues to draw them to the destination’s world-class fishing shores year after year.
With billfish season peaking from December through April, it’s the perfect time for travelers to plan a Panama fishing excursion.

Panama offers anglers a year-round fishing destination and it is not necessary to have a fishing license. Cold, nutrient-packed currents, known as the Humboldt or Peru Current, move north from Antarctica to the west coast of South America. The warmest water comes from southern Costa Rica and crosses over on the Pacific coast of Panama. The convergence of these ocean currents on the Pacific coast of the country creates optimal conditions.
