Here are some more shots from out Dec 2014-Feb 2015 Fishing trip down to Pina's Bay Panama.
Here is the Link to the First Blog with images from Pina's Bay 2014-15 Fishing Trip:
We fished December 2014 and Jan/Feb 2015 this year. The bite was sporadic at times through out the trips, but towards the end of Jan, fishing had really started to pick up. We raised a lot of marlin, but there was a bit of a finicky bite at times.
In total the Hooker Caught 20 Marlin, Raised 43 Marlin, Countless sailfish and LOTS & LOTS of Dorado (AKA: Green Hornets).
At the end of January, the Picaflor and the Hooker Caught around 17 Marlin between both boats in only 10 days...clearly the bite had taken off and it was almost bittersweet to have to pack up and head home at that point.
Here is a selection of images through out the trip. Blog 1 of 2 Posts!
Tried to get this Girl Going again, but she was too far gone.
After 20 min of trying to get this girl going again after she was tailed rapped, she just couldn't get going again.
Every bit of this wish will go to the Village of Pinas Bay. Every bit will get used!!!

We just finished Fishing on The Hooker and Picaflor this June and July down in Pinas Bay, Panama. There were some Big storms, Big Waves and a couple of Big Fish!

Here are more shots from our 3 months of Fishing in Pina's Bay, Panama. Some of these images where taken aboard the Picaflor, under the direction of Captain Adolfo. The first Marlin gave us a dazzling display. Jumping straight at us. The boat was powering forward and Justin, the angler, was reeling as fast as he could in order to take up line. When I get a chance later in the week, I will post the video that goes along with this fight. It was pretty amazing to see this fish jump like this. Nice release on the fish after as well.
Justin reeling his heart out to try and take up line on this crazy jumping fish.
This Marlin just kept jumping and jumping. These are the flights that photographers dream of.
Hook out and lure back, the boys release this nice Marlin.
The special Lure to win them all! Custom Made by Matt, even has our Mates face pictured in the Lure.

Justin trying his hand at pitching a fly back to a sailfish. The sail hit the lure a couple of times, but just couldn't get her to bite.
Nice Sail, our Mate Jonathan almost got a Bill in his arm.
JACK!!!!
