👍👍 We were picked up by Rich Cahill the owner of the company. From the moment we met him we knew we were going to have a great day. We caught over 50 fish including Peacock and Snook. Rich and his captain knew what they were doing. Highly recommended. People often mention fish, fishing,

    We live in Panama and were looking for something to do with out of town visitors. We decided on an excursion with Panama Canal Fishing. We knew we needed some sun screen, hats, our favorite drinks and snacks, a cooler of ice, and some 2 gallon zip lock bags . We met our fishing guide Capt. Elias Chimbe and set out from the marina near the Gamboa rain forest resort. We set out early morning (which personally I think is the best time). Started with a scenic boat ride where we were able to view all sorts of beautiful flora and fauna. Then off to fishing for peacock bass. We had a wonderful time on the lake fishing and checking out fantastic trees and vegetation and birds of all kinds. Our Captain happily helped with baiting the hooks and taking the fish off the hooks for those that wanted him to. We ended up with plenty of bass for us and some friends we ended up entertaining the next day. The captain did an excellent job fileting our fish for us and we put them into the 2 gallon zip lock bags that we brought with us and threw them into our cooler of ice for the trip home. One thing I would mention is the road out to Gamboa is in need of repair and some of the ride is fairly rough for most vehicles. This is a great time even for those with no fishing experience.

    Belle balade en bateau sur le canal de Panama découverte de la faune et de la flore de cette impressionnante retenue d’eau artificielle permettant la traversée de l’isthme de Panama

    Great service and EPIC fishing. I lost count of peacock bass after about the 30th fish. Fish of all sizes and very consistent action with live shiners and spin tackle. I was able to watch a few of the fish eat the baits in the clear water. Augusto was a great guide and Rick (owner) was very welcoming when I met him at the ramp. They were able to work me in last minute and I had a blast. Beautiful area with lush jungle, monkeys, abundant birds, and giant ships passing by.

    Catching multiple species of fish with multiple methods is always fun for me, and Lake Gatun and PCF did not disappoint. I recommend this trip for anyone who has not fished for peacock bass and for anyone enchanted by canal lore.

    Good guide and people, very poor fishing. Salt water seeping into lake. Small peacocks and not many.
