Marlin Hot on the Bank! Panama Fishing Report Jan. 5-10

Postby Capt. Ted » Wed Jan 16, 2008 12:36 pm

As another week got underway, expectations were high. Jim Scarlata and John Holste were aboard to share their knowledge and expertise with an already knowledgeable group of men consisting of Jed & Brian Mitchell, Frank & Matthew Wicker, Richard Elgert, and George Belter. Fingers and toes crossed, as once more we go into the breach, and hoped to land the “Big One”.

The week turned out to be a superb week of Marlin fishing. All hooked up Marlin. Mother Nature also cooperated with fair winds and calm seas with just enough overcast and a few rain squalls to help keep the heat down a bit, which, was a good thing, considering how hard these fellows had to work.

Jim and John spent time showing a few tricks of the trade to guests and sport boat crews alike. It is always a pleaser to watch pros at work and I enjoy having these two aboard any time.

As a group, these men only landed 72 fish, but the combined weight was an even 8,000 pounds. Of the 72 fish, 19 were Blue Marlin, 2 Black Marlin, 23 Dorado, 11 Mullet Snapper, 2 Sailfish and 5 Cubera Snapper. The rest of the weeks catch consisted of Yellowfin Tuna, Rock Snapper, Yellow Snapper, Pacific Mackerel, Horse Eye Jacks and Jack Crevalle.

There were many more hookups on Marlin and still more that were raised into the spreads but did not take the bait. All in all, a great week of fishing, and some tired fishermen.

Until next report
