Guys, I rarely post so bare with me here....This is fishing/traveling related but not your typical post.
For anyone who travels to Central America or the other Panama for fishing trips, have you ever gone during the wet season? Moving forward I think I’ll always come this time of year. Being the off season air fare was a steal. Nearly constant cloud cover, occasional rain, and nice breezes had this place feeling like spring in late June! Maybe got lucky? Normally we visit in the dry season in late Dec or early January and it’s sweltering. Locals (although in the northern hemisphere) have named their seasons backwards from ours because of the weather. I’m here in “winter” now and understand.
We visit my wife’s parents in Panama every year or two, and I’m here right now. Out of fear of being rained out due to 80-90% chance of rain, I didn’t setup a charter like I’d dreamed out of Pedasi for bigguns offshore or Lake for peacock bass or even a Panga from Taboga Island for Spanish or Corvina. All I did was some shore fishing from Taboga Island while out with the family and have my gulps shredded. The view however was worth every second. Unfortunately I’m heading back home in a couple of days.
The last thing I want to mention for anyone looking to soak up the scenic and mountainous interior- before trekking 6+ hrs west across the country towards Boquete/Vulcan Baru check out the Campana/Altos de Maria area about an hour or so west of PC. Just got back from that area. Absolutely Stunning mountains with views over the Pacific and Punta Chame. Our last trip we drove west towards Costa Rica from PC to Boquete near Vulcan Baru. Photos are from Isla Morro next to Taboga.
