2024/25 RATES
Boat Fishing: $500 per day for 1 or 2 anglers, an additional $75 supplement for a 3rd angler = $575 per day. This includes transport to the boat if required (in the Pedasi area), your experienced crew, gasoline, drinking water, cooler and ice. Based on an 8 hour day. Trolling and livebait gear is included in the price.
If you wish to hire jigging and popping rods and reels, we are happy to provide this at an additional cost. See below.
We do not provide food onboard so you will need to bring your own lunch or snacks if you want to eat something.
Packages: Our most popular package for fishing in Pedasi includes 5 full days on the water. This is the most popular with our visiting international anglers and gives you the best chance to make the most of our varied fishery here.
Our season for fishing out of Pedasi is April to December.
Guided Shore Fishing: $200 per session for 1 angler. $70 per additional angler. Maximum 3 anglers. Sessions are tide and time dependant and will vary in length accordingly. Bait and lure fishing are the techniques we may practice. Certain times of the year are better than others (Jan to April best!), so please discuss this with us if you want to give it a go. We have a very limited amount of tackle available to hire, most anglers bring their own.
Cerro Hoya National Park: When we cant fish out of Pedasi during the windy season, January through March, then we run special trips down to Veraguas to fish the frontage of the National Park. This is the only place where we can truly escape the wind on the Azuero Peninsula at that time of year. It's a stunning and remote wilderness area with towering peaks and rainforest tumbling into the ocean. All the same species are present and this is the best time of the year to fish this unique area. We offer day trips from Pedasi that include all your tackle hire, boat, captain, guide, fuel, coolers, ice and transport from Pedasi for $600 per day. We take lunch on a deserted beach in the park. It's a long day but well worth the effort!
Tackle & Hire Equipment
Boat Fishing: the trolling and bait fishing equipment is included in the day rate. If you'd like to hire specialist jigging, popping and lure fishing gear then we can provide that at the rate of $50 per person per day. You are of course welcome to bring your own. You MUST bring your own LURES, JIGS & POPPERS if you wish to cast these.
We will provide an up to date tackle and kit list for those of you that want to bring your own gear. It's a comprehensive list and clearly runs through everything you will need to get the most out of the fishing here.
Shore Fishing: Please ask for details. We have some surfcasting and lure rods available
