One-hundred pound yellowfin tuna, 50-pound mahi, 1,000-pound marlin… If you want to catch the big boys, you have to head offshore. Blue-water fishing requires a capable boat, an understanding of conditions such as water temps and current, tackle that’s up to the task and a sense of adventure.
Joining the podcast to talk all things offshore fishing is Capt. Shane Jarvis who owns and operates Sport Fishing Panama Island Lodge. Jarvis explains the gear and boats he uses to consistently catch tuna, marlin and more in Panama. Jarvis’ operation is an off-the-grid fishing oasis based on a private island in the Gulf of Chiriqui. This makes planning essential, there is no tackle shop or marina store on the island. If you want to find success offshore, listen in.
Capt. Shane Jarvis has developed a successful fishing lodge on an island off the coast of Panama by consistently catching big fish and taking care of his clients.
