You will notice that there is no introduction to this section yet. 



I would like to fill this gap with an introduction from a local angler [or someone who is a frequent visiting fisherman] for every one of the geographical pages on Fatfisherman.com.

The many thousands of anglers now regularly using these pages prefer to read something written by someone who can see the area from an insider's point of view. They know the best spots, not just the ones that first time or overseas visitors usually visit or that are well known outside of the area. 



Each introduction carries the e-mail address of the contributor so that anglers can get in touch with them if, for example, they are planning a trip [unless the contributor is unable to do this] so it could bring you extra business if you own a local fishery or tackleshop, charter boat or magazine etc. 



Please get in touch if you feel you can contribute an introduction to this page - you don't have to be an expert; I'm not!

Its sister site, Fatbirder.com is regularly used by hundreds of thousands of birdwatchers when planning overseas trips or birding closer to home. That site gets four million hits a month and has a high Google rating because it is an information resource that is both comprehensive and trusted.

Help me make Fatfisherman.com the first point of reference for anyone who wants to go fishing anywhere in the world!

Lake Gatun & Panama Canal

Snook Fishery
Satellite View
While Lake Gatun and the Panama Canal that runs through it are known to fishermen for a vibrant fishery for relatively small peacock bass, another overlooked fishery for a larger sport fish exist. Brackish water snook are very plentiful in the deeper channels of the lake and along the Canal. Few anglers leave the shallows to battle the larger snook that are common, particularly when the waters are higher and clearer in the months of October and November...

Tropic Star Lodge

http://www.tropicstar.com
Marlin fishing in Panama is an amazing experience. One reason for this is the Zane Grey Reef. It is a relatively small seamount of solid rock which has its base on the flat continental shelf in 350 feet of water. The sides of the seamount rise sharply to the peak which is composed of three distinct pinnacles; the two to the south rise to within 150 feet of the surface and are joined, but there is valley 205 feet deep between these two and a larger peak to the north. A number of bait species and their predators congregate around the seamount, sometimes in astounding numbers...

Bonefish Panama

http://www.bonefishpanama.com
Here in Panama, a few people do actually eat the meat of bonefish in empanadas. We believe that it is far better to release the fish after catching him so that you might have the opportunity to catch the gray ghost another day. We have been searching for and catching bonefish for many years now. They are elusive anywhere you look for them and here in Panama they are difficult to find. We keep our eyes peeled for them each time we approach a beach...

Panama Fishing Central America

Article
The Republic of Panama has always been known for its fishing, tropical islands and beautiful beaches. It took about 3 million years for the Republic of Panama to emerge as it was a vast archipelago of volcanic islands. Due to volcanic activities during that period, Panama became an isthmus with over 1,500 islands, 2,988 kilometers of coast and a total of 480 rivers that empty their waters into the ocean...
