The Tuna Coast (Azuero Peninsula)
The Tuna Coast was given its name by the famous fisherman Tony Peña, who was amazed by the schools of yellow fin and bigeye tuna that claim their hunting grounds in this particular area. It is a long stretch along the coastline of the Azuero Peninsula, which offers great conditions for sportfishing and deep sea fishing. It starts from Pedasi, in the East, and goes down southwest until Mariato. The fishing there is spectacular all year long, especially the further you go southwest. In Bucaro, Cambutal, and Mariato you can catch wahoo, dolphinfish, bigeye tuna and the pacific sailfish. From January until April there is also a big chance to hook black and blue marlins. Due to its remote location it is still considered a secret spot in Panama. One big advantage of this fishing spot is that the fishing grounds are located only 20 minutes off shore.
